We were unable to find the meeting spot and ended up buying tickets on site after waiting in a long line. Suggest taking a taxi to the meeting spot and visiting in the off season. In mid-May it was very hot and there was a crush of tourists.

That you need to buy tickets to avoid the ticket queue then the entrance queue buy the tickets on line
Billy_N, May 2026
We booked this on advance to avoid the queues and we did exactly that. We walked straight in at the time allocated. The audio guide was very informative but when your phone goes to sleep so does the app unlike other audio apps.

It was a holiday so lots and lots of people but it was still awe inspiring and breathtaking! They handled the crowds amazing well.

It was an amazing information of history. It was indeed a real account of what I read from books. It’s once in a lifetime experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you! We’re delighted the audio guide met your expectations

Awful we did not receive our tickets as requested via WhatsApp so could not gain entry need to update your process
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review. We are continuously working to improve the experience.
Nicola_M, Feb 2026
This was a self guided tour of the collesuem, you download an app to listen to the audio and you have to keep the app open to listen which was a bit of a pain. Overall audio was interesting, walking around the collesuem was fantastic and I highly recommend the tour. There is an option to do a full experience which I wish I'd have done instead but still a good tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We appreciate your support! It’s great to hear such encouraging words.
Jennifer_G, Feb 2026
It is much cheaper to just buy entry tickets. The tour was not a “guided” tour rather a collection of facts in micro videos. I’d recommend watching a YouTube video and buying a solo ticket.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience and appreciate your feedback.

Tickets were easy to download onto phone and access the sites they were meant to. One thing was the app didn’t seem to allow you to listen to info unless the app was on screen (I.e. stopped playing when taking photos etc) but wasn’t too bad
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! We're so happy to hear that the tour was both engaging and educational for you. Your feedback truly means a lot. Looking forward to welcoming you again!

Something to behold the majesty of how this place was built and still standing. Unfortunately the audio book didn't work on my phone in english

Couldn't use the tickets. They were for 12:00. Needed to go through security line first. That was made clear. Unfortunately that line was a rough guess, 800 meters long? We got to the coliseum around 11:30. Waited in the line for about 45 min and realized that we had at least 2 to 3 hours more. It was not moving. Confirmed we were in the right line twice by two workers managing the line. Don't sell tickets to an event that there is zero chance of using. What a waste of our short time in Rome.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We're very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how disappointing it must have been to miss your visit, especially with limited time in Rome. The long security lines can be unpredictable, and we’re working closely with site staff to improve guidance and better communicate timing expectations.
Please reach out to us at info@romelivetours.com .we’d like to make this right.

Tickets were accurate and valid the next day into palatine hill. Colosseum was busy as expected but the palitine hill / forum wasn’t as busy the next day which was nice. Good value for all 3 tickets.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you had a positive experience and
appreciate your recommendation.

It’s a fantastic tour to get a well rounded small tour of Rome and its ancient history. It is very crowded but that is expected when going to one of the top tourism spots in the world.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you had a positive experience and
appreciate your recommendation.
James_P, May 2025
Could be a half day plus experience. Possible to get tickets there but this was much more convenient.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our services did not meet your
expectations

Waste of money! There is NO fast line and NO skip the line. It's a rip off! There is only one general line. Tickets available on official website for the same day much cheaper and NO need to over pay!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Dear Customer, Thanks for your feedback. We wrote in the description that Must Follow the security Line although you bought priority access. if you buy tickets from the line after that still you need to do the security line.
I hope you understand.
Best regards

Worked well in the end, although the communication was not optimal in between.
It's just not worth it. It costs much more than simply booking through the Colosseum website, and brings no advantage

They didn't wait for us even if I told them we were 10 minutes late with my pregnant wife.
I texted and had no response
Send messages and neither

Visit must do during a stay in Rome. Very impressive.
Tickets received directly on the phone which saves time. Too bad the audio guide did not work when included in the price!

Thank you! We’re delighted the audio guide met your expectations.

Very good experience, we entered very quickly even though there were many people in the lines and around the Colosseum. Only it took a long time for the Service Provider to respond and send the tickets to my watsapp, we had to contact via Viator and then if they answered.

El lugar es muy bonito, una visita obligada en Roma, sin embargo está muy masificado, un agobio visitar el lugar con dificultades para entrar, para hacer fotos e incluso para asomarse a ver la arena desde arriba y eso que la visita fue en febrero, no quiero pensar como tiene que ser en verano.
Respecto a Viator, me gustó la facilidad para contratar y el servicio de atención telefónico, pero no me gustó que una vez hecho el pago las entradas las entrega una tercera empresa y lo hace unos días antes de la visita, con la inseguridad que eso genera en el cliente al no saber si va a disponer o no de las entradas, de echo finalmente me cambiaron la hora de entrada a 45 minutos antes, por suerte también me venía bien por los pelos, pero podría haber arruinado la visita una vez que tenía ya todo organizado.
Recomiendo visitar por ser un sitio tan especial, pero quien quiera verlo con tranquilidad lo tiene complicado.
