Audio stopped working

Cheryl_L, Jun 2026

Audio stopped working after 15 minutes (after 4 stops played) and was without audio the rest of the tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Cheryl, We are truly sorry to hear that your audio guide stopped working after just 15 minutes. We understand how frustrating it is to lose your narration right at the start of your Colosseum experience. The thick stone walls of the Colosseum can sometimes cause cellular network drops, which can interrupt the digital guide stream. However, this is certainly not the experience we want for our guests.

Not good.

Nicole_W, Jun 2026

Not good. Viator asked me for information yet did not process that information so I was unable to get my tickets.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello, We are incredibly sorry to hear about this frustrating experience and that you were unable to get your tickets. This is certainly not the seamless visit we want for our guests. Since this booking was processed through Viator, we would like to look into exactly what happened with your information and help make this right. Please reach out to us directly with your booking reference number at reservations@italypasstours.com or through the Viator messaging platform so we can investigate and assist you with a resolution.

Very poor. Don’t book.

Rachelle_W, May 2026

Do not book this tour. We were never able to find the tour guide and get audio sets. You can buy timed tickets at the counter close to the entrance for much cheaper.

No provide enough info

Gabriela_C, Jun 2025

We didn’t receive the QR code. We had to call twice and nobody was there. We couldn’t read anything about the history of the place

Colosseum experience

BARBARA_J, Mar 2025

The guide was on time handed over our guide book and made sure we knew where we going. Booking was easy and we received emails and message reminders. Thank you

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Ancient Rome Unveiled: Colosseum with audioguide. The Colosseum has so many stories to tell, and we’re glad the audioguide helped bring that history to life for you. It was a pleasure helping you navigate such an iconic piece of Roman history. We hope the rest of your time in Italy is just as magical. Safe travels!

A disaster!

smcgeagh1, Jul 2019

This was the most disorganised tour we have ever been on. The tour guides did not arrive and it took 2 hours for them to find one. By this time more groups had arrived and our group of no more than 20 turned into 60. We had organised an early start to beat the heat of the day but instead followed the guide in our group of 60 from ticket box to ticket box to get our tickets. We ended up leaving the tour early as it was very poor and when we did there were only 10 people left out of the 60. We paid for 7 people and was the biggest waste of money and time unfortunately.

Colosseum visit 2026

Olivier_M, Aug 2026

The visit to the Colosseum went very well; our resource person was waiting for us at the meeting point as planned, and he gave us good advice for visiting the site and on a few other points of interest.

Did not receive a ticket via email.

Simon_W, May 2026

Unfortunately, everything was a bit unclear. No ticket was sent via email. No one was there on site. We had to pick up the ticket at the office (45 minutes away). There was no audio guide even though it was booked.

I don't recommend it to anyone

Laura_F, Jul 2025

We had taken this thinking we would be offered a guided tour of everything and instead we were offered a book about the Colosseum as a guide. We got ripped off.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Muchas gracias por hacernos llegar sus comentarios. Lamentamos de todo corazón su decepción; nuestra meta es que cada cliente disfrute al máximo y nos entristece saber que no fue así en su caso. Parece que hubo un malentendido con el formato del tour, ya que este paquete específico está diseñado como una experiencia autoguiada que incluye un libro informativo y una audioguía. Es evidente que no logramos comunicar esto con claridad y le pedimos una sincera disculpa por la confusión. Valoramos mucho que nos haya elegido y nos encantaría hablar personalmente con usted para buscar una solución. Por favor, escríbanos a customer-care@italypasstours.com

Ritorno al passato

Anna_L, Oct 2023

La guida era preparatissima e ci ha trasportato nel mondo dei Romani. Nessuno ha perso l'interesse durante le tre ore di visita. Neanche il nostro bambino di 10 anni! La miglior maniera di visitare il Colosseo e il foro romano. Grazie a Italy pass tour ma soprattutto a Vinceza.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Grazie mille per le tue bellissime parole! Siamo felici che il tour vi sia piaciuto e che anche il vostro bambino si sia divertito; sappiamo che mantenere l'interesse dei più piccoli per tre ore non è sempre facile, ma Vincenza è davvero fantastica in questo. Saremo felici di trasmettere i vostri complimenti a lei. Speriamo di rivedervi presto a Roma!
