Huge Scam

Melissa_M, Nov 2025

AVOID. AVOID, AVOID! It’s a huge scam!!! Allowed me to schedule an entry when Palpatine Hill was closed! Charged me over $100 for tickets when the ticket price is only $18 and you have to hike 3/4 mile from the Colosseum to pick up your tickets! Lesson learned but hope to help others from making the same mistake we did. HORRIBLE!! Also I will NEVER use Viator again! I thought Viator helped prevent these scams!

Great

Easy to navigate and ticket was sent via what’s app so we didn’t have to go to the meetup location. Good tour.

Easy entry, awe- inspiring site that is a must-see!

Easy entrance that avoided a huge line. The Colosseum itself is massive, and the fact that after 2000 years that any of it is still standing is a testament to the engineering and construction quality. Especially since it only took 8 years to build! A must see - no wonder it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World!!!!
