    Protim_C, Aug 2026
    Very informative and Justin was extremely pleasant. He was especially knowledgeable about the churches in the area.

    Igor_F, Aug 2026
    I booked under impression that would be able to get inside of Colosseum. But realized later once received confirmation from tour operator that this is only Colosseum exterior tour. So I did not bother to go there since already did check exterior myself. I would recommend the tour operator spell out out explicitly that this is only exterior tour on main page when making booking and don’t mislead

    Would not recommend

    Sridhara_y, Jul 2026
    Knowledgeable guide, however it is not for kids , even adults were squeamish from the dark and disturbing facts the tour guide was providing. I understand colosseum and Rome have a dark past but the disturbing details the guide provided were wholly unnecessary

    Learn about Rome

    Eric_H, Jul 2026
    Justin was great. Very knowledgeable about the history of Rome and he shared interesting stories and facts about the buildings and Italian culture.

    Finding the meeting spot...

    Heidi_R, Jun 2026
    Finding the meeting spot was a little challenging, but our guide Abigail was amazing and found us. The stories she shared on the tour were engaging and gave excellent context for the present and the past.

    Justin has a deep...

    Justin has a deep understanding of history and does an excellent job of relating Roman history to present day and how it has affected modern western civilizations! He is truly interested in hearing questions and you can tell he likes a back and forth rapport. It’s like having a professor guide you on the tour!

    Wonderful Tour

    Brooke_M, Jun 2026
    Justin was an amazing and very knowledgeable tour guide. He always managed to find some great shade and guided us to some watering spots to refill our bottles too which made this a very comfortable walking tour. His knowledge was most interesting and very detailed, I would highly recommend doing this tour

    Scam

    Corina_G, May 2026
    I wouldn't even give a star. This ticket is for a tour outside the Colosseum, a trip into the city. The name of the ticket leads you to believe that you will visit something inside. Please don't book; we got scammed.

    Bernard! Amazing tour guy!

    Viddyesh_K, May 2026
    Bernard, what an amazing guy. Thoroughly professional and very informative! A must do tour with him. Very friendly, various language professionals. Thank you Bernard!!

    The meeting up place was beautiful but very hard to find…we asked local people out walking their dogs to help us and even they were confused. It would have been nice to have Justin dressed in a bright yellow hat to begin with and know that ahead of time. Justin was wonderful, very knowledgeable and a great story-teller, using questions from us as a launching point for another story. Justin finding the coolest spots on the route to keep us from melting was very appreciated. After the tour we even went to a restaurant on Justin’s recommendation that was fabulous. Thanks Justin.

    Misleading

    adriandelgadorealtor, May 2026
    READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE BOOKING, there is no access to any attractions, just a walk outside. The description is intentionally misleading.

    Informative

    David_T, May 2026
    Abgail is very knowledgeable about the area, and gives you a great insight to the history and brascillia we went into was amazing

    Scam. Read till the end

    Lieverson_v, May 2026
    Scam. They only tell you in a very tiny phrase in the end of purchase that you won’t be inside. I would not recommend. If you want to walk around just google it and don’t waste your money

    Good history - price was reasonable

    Jeanna_B, May 2026
    Very nice- don’t do it on a hot day. Our group was tiny so we were able to stay close to our guide. Abagail was very professional kind and patient- helped us find your way around.

    Whilst there was...

    Craig_B, Apr 2026
    Whilst there was disappointment we didnt go in to the colosseum, Justin was an excellent guide and we actually enjoyed our tour more than we initially thought we might 😊 We were in a group of six and it was perfect

    Disappointing

    Sara_R, Aug 2026
    You advertise the walking tour to the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Capitoline Hill. But you do not specify that it does not include admission to any of those sites. We bought the tour believing that the tickets were included. I never would have bought the tour knowing that the tickets were not included, and much less at that price. The other family that was taking the tour had the same impression. They were also surprised that the tickets were not included. We are very disappointed with this tour. We are not happy at all and I would like a refund of the cost of this tour.

    Ozania_P, May 2026
    I felt mistaken, in the ad spoke walk to the coliseum on foot but did not say it was out, I thought it was a tour in there , total disappointment I do not recommend
