I love rome ♥️

Francesco_R, Mar 2023

Beautiful story, I really love rome so much, if you need to enjoy the colosseum you have to go with a guide. I think without the guide it's not the same thing.. i need to say thanks also to the staff at the meeting point and thanks alot Elisabetta ❤️

Stay Away!!

Sandra_O, Mar 2023

STAY AWAY! I was NEVER able to find the tour guide. Lost my time and the company refuses to give me a refund. We paid for 5 people ( 3 adults and 2 kids) walked and waited at the meeting point and nobody there knew the company in charge of the tour. Stay away! Much better companies out there.

Colossal in the Colosseum

Christopher_W, Oct 2019

This tour was one of the best I've had anywhere. Expedited and timed entry made it a perfect mid-day stop for approx. 90 minutes. They guide was a recent college graduate from Rome. She knew her information well and really gave us sufficient insight. I strongly recommend this tour.
