Traveler reviews
Excellent communication
We happened to have a tour on a day there were huge protests/ demonstrations. This created chaos at the meeting place. We were a little confused but my phone rang at exactly the right second with the tour company calling to ask if we were having any trouble locating them. She fine tuned her location and we were there with time to spare! Francesca the guide had great energy and really did a good job keeping the group together despite an extremely disrespectful family group who really wanted to do their own thing and kept wandering off. Overall, an excellent experience!
It doesn't allow time for...
It doesn't allow time for many pictures in the colosseum. The whispers were terrible, there was a lot of static and that combined with the guide's accent it was VERY difficult to understand anything that was said. We basically had no tour guide.
There IS a bathroom inside the colloseum. Enjoyable tour.
I was told by someone with the company that there were no bathrooms inside the colloseum so I walked in the direction she pointed to try to use a bar bathroom that overlooks the colloseum. The way she pointed did not seem to lead to the area she indicated. I walked a quarter mile to pay to use a bathroom which caused me to be late. There IS a bathroom inside the colloseum though no time to use it before the tour. Now, the tour itself. It was very enjoyable. I don't recall our guides name but I felt informed and well led through the experience. I do recommend this tour just note the bathroom notes I've shared.
Coliseum Arena Floor Tour
The Coliseum Arena Floor tour was a must do while in Rome. Being down on the floor allows one to appreciate the size and detail of this historical relic. Francesca was our tour guide. She did a remarkable job reciting the history of Ancient Rome and telling us all about the Coliseum. We then were able to walk around Palatine Hill, the Roman Forum, and gardens. Wonderful excursion. Would definitely recommend!
Great experience. Perfect organization. Fantastic guide, Manola!
Great experience. Perfect organization. Today we were fortunate to be guided by Manola on a wonderful tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Forums. Manola was incredible: she transported us back in time with her passionate explanations, making us feel every stone and every story. It was truly an unforgettable journey through history. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we highly recommend it to everyone!
