Very convenient

I enjoyed this. The meeting details are accurate and a huge thank you to the young man who helped me get tickets in WhatsApp. I don’t use them at app often so I wasn’t familiar

A definite YES to book this

It was a fabulous experience!! They will let you in right at your time and up to 15 minutes before your scheduled time but not before. Because the line was long we took the opportunity to go to the Roman Forum and Pallanyine Hill first thing the next morning since you can go the day before or the day after your Coluseum booking.

Gladiator is not so happy to see us

The operator sent me a place to meet them. When I got to the Colosseum, they sent me to a separate place. When I got to the place to meet them, they told me I didn’t have to meet them there and sent me back to the Colosseum. And it was quite inconvenient. And I have to say the staff at the Colosseum, which I have been to numerous times was so rude. It was very disappointed. I’ve never had an experience like that before. Very sad.

Ticket collection

We spent ages in 39degree heat looking for the place to collect our tickets. The map only took you near the place. There was a man with a bike and a bag. No signage for Trip advisor. So very stressful!
