Second Tour of the Colosseum and Counting!

Our second time visiting the magnificent Colosseum! Karina was absolutely wonderful, and made our experience just so memorable. Her friendly, warm personality was just so welcomed, and on top of that her immense historical knowledge was so truly appreciated and respected! Highly recommend the Arena tour, it’s a perspective to not miss.

Terrible experience

Book with any other company! My husbands name was typed wrong on ticket and was refused entrance. Sat out in the heat while they never resolved a thing and left without us. They claim I put in the wrong last name when booking. Ive never done that before on any of my many bookings. Will be disputing with my credit card and will not let this go! Wasted our day in Rome

Great tour!

Paulo was an excellent guide! He was an anthropologist and loved history. He gave a lot of insight about what was going on at the time and really try to make us feel like we were there during Roman times. He was easy to understand and very enthusiastic. We had a great experience!
