Sandro was great!

Nicole_B, Aug 2025

Sandro was a great tour guide and gave a lot of information in a short time.. we had a private and it was perfect so we could ask questions at our leisure, to which he knew all the facts!

Perfect family intro to the Eternal City

Brian_B, Jun 2023

Great tour of the Colosseum thoughtfully tailored to our teenage boys. Paulo shared interesting stories that brought the ancient times to life - I am sure our boys will remember this experience for a long time!

Worth it!

April_T, Apr 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour wonderful. The context and history you get from a local guide is worth spending the money. Also, we tried to go on our own the day before, paid 80 euros at the ticket counter only to be turned away at the gate for not also have a reservation, which by the way was booked out for two weeks!

Great tour company

Jennifer_A, Sep 2022

The tour company went above and beyond for us to reschedule our tour of the Colosseum multiple times in one day because our cruise ship was delayed in docking. Then the actual tour itself was very informative and we appreciated how thoughtful our guide Benjie was.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear Jennifer_A, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad we were able to accommodate your schedule changes and that everything worked out despite the cruise delay. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the Colosseum Private Tour and that Benjie made the experience informative and thoughtful—he’ll be delighted to hear your feedback. We truly appreciate you choosing Discover Rome Tours and hope to welcome you back again in the future! Warm regards, Discover Rome Tours Team

Falsche Sprache beim Guide

Alexander_T, Jun 2022

Leider war der gebuchte Guide nicht verfügbar und bei der Erstattung wurden nur ca 50% der Buchungskosten zurück erstattet. Reagiert jetzt leider auch nicht auf die Reklamation. Also:VORSICHT

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, diese Bewertung für uns zu schreiben. Wir bieten diese Tour nur in englischer, spanischer und italienischer Sprache an. Leider haben wir noch keinen Service für die deutsche Sprache. Da Sie nach dem deutschsprachigen Reiseleiter fragen und wir diesen Service nicht auf Deutsch anbieten, haben unsere Mitarbeiter Sie gefragt, ob Sie nur an einer Eintrittskarte oder einer Stornierung und vollständigen Rückerstattung interessiert sind. Sie akzeptieren nur Tickets. Daher berechnen wir Ihnen die Tickets und erstatten Ihnen die Differenz. Ich hoffe du verstehst. Vielen Dank
