Disappointing time management & tour description

Helen_P, Jan 2026

They were 45 minutes late getting started on our tour. Guide was from ne but poor organisation by the tour operator.

Careful what you get for your money!

Keith_S, Sep 2025

We were late booking this tour (3 days before we went) and paid what we now know was significantly overpriced. Our guide was not at fault and was excellent for the tour of the Colosseum, however that’s where the tour ended. While we were provided with tickets for Paletine Hill and the Forum there was no guide for these areas and we were left on our own. We were also not told when we booked that we required photo is to get into the Colosseum by Viator on any of their documentation and it was only by luck we had this with us! I am not sure where the blame lies for the overpriced content of the tour but cannot fault our guide for her part.

Dear customer, Thank you for your review. We'd like to clarify: Your tour included a Colosseum live-guided tour with priority access, radio headphones, and access to the Colosseum arena. Please note that arena floor access is limited and often pricier due to restricted capacity. As outlined in the tour details: - Colosseum: Live-guided tour - Roman Forum & Palatine Hill: Self-guided with admission provided Additionally, your voucher clearly stated the ID or photo ID requirement for Colosseum entry. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Discover Italy Tours

Recommend the arena floor!

Daniel_Y, Jul 2025

The Arena Floor tour of the Colosseum offers a truly immersive experience, allowing visitors to stand where gladiators once battled. Unlike the standard entry, this guided tour takes you onto the reconstructed arena floor, giving you a unique vantage point of the Colosseum’s interior and a better appreciation of its scale and history. Highlights: Exclusive access to the arena floor, typically not available with general admission. Incredible photo opportunities and fewer crowds. Insightful historical context from guides about Roman games, architecture, and gladiator life.
