Traveler reviews
Helpful guide
Christina was very kind and helpful. She made sure we was comfortable and gave us a warm hand off to the tour guide in the catacombs. She waited for us to return and took us to the next stop.
Wonderful experience
Our guides were very knowledgeable, pick up and drop offs at the meeting spot were well handled and the experience itself was amazing
Breathtaking!
Krystina or Christina not sure how to spell her name but she was amazing. She was very knowledgable and helped us find local places to eat as well since we didn't have any idea what was good. She was the best tour guide we’ve had so far in Italy. We loved her!!
Scam
No French guide despite a reservation 1 month in advance. They notified me the day before and since then, no response to my refund request.
Misleading: no guide, no help, just a ticket drop-off at the Colosseum
This tour is misleadingly advertised. It’s a small-group tour of the catacombs, but not of the Colosseum that part is essentially just a ticket drop-off. Communication was a mess from the start: the tour company called at 10am asking where we were, claiming they’d told us to arrive then, even though the app clearly listed a 10:30am start time. We arrived at 10:28. After the catacombs, instead of heading to the Colosseum, they drove us 30 minutes in the opposite direction to drop off another couple at a different tour, then backtracked to finally bring my family to the Colosseum. And “bring” is generous they dropped us off with tickets and left, no guide, no assistance. They also never mentioned we’d need ID to enter. Luckily we had photos of our IDs saved on our phones, or we wouldn’t have gotten in at all. The one star is entirely for the catacombs portion that guide was excellent and genuinely informative. But that credit belongs to the catacombs site guides, not this tour company, since we were just handed off to them. As for the Colosseum “tour,” there wasn’t one.
