Thumbs down

Arena Tours never arrived to take people on the tour today. Somebody, named Ali claimed to have knowledge and had another man walk people to the top of the metro where he asked them to book with other companies. WTF

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We are very sorry to read this review, as it does not reflect what actually happened. Our staff was present at the official meeting point for the Colosseum Guided Tour with Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Access at the scheduled time. Unfortunately, it appears that a third party — completely unrelated to our company — approached some guests and redirected them elsewhere. We would like to make it absolutely clear that the person mentioned in this review is not associated with our company in any way. Sadly, around the Colosseum area there are sometimes unauthorized individuals who attempt to redirect visitors to other operators. As soon as we were informed of the situation, we fully cooperated through Viator, and the guests received a refund. We regret that the guests were misled by someone outside of our organization, but stating that our team “never arrived” is incorrect. We were present at the official meeting point as confirmed by our staff records

Guide did not show and I received notice of this 1 hour prior to departure. Offer made to reschedule for later in day but did not receive meeting location info until after your started so we could not get there in time. Waiting to hear about reimbursement!
