Traveler reviews
Not the best Tour
Tour started 15 minutes late and was rushed from the start. Five of our group members got left behind as the tour guide sped down many stairs and across a road before even looking to see if everyone was with him which we were not. Tour company did not tell the guide that one of our group members had low vision and should have been alerted about the stairs. He spent a lot of time just talking in Al Cove’s rather than actually showing the stadium which was very brief. Other companies seem to be getting a lot of information as they walked but this guy preferred not to do that Accommodations were eventually made for people with a stroller and people who could not use the stairs but they were awkward for the other members of the group. Tour of the Colosseum seemed very very short. Time on Palatine Hill was interesting but the forum tour was also very brief.
A must if planning to see the colosseum and truly appreciate the wonder it is!
Henry was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate and made our visit to the colosseum and forum a wonderful experience! Highly recommend this tour and the small group size. Rome is busy and the small size made a big difference in being able to see everything we wanted to see.
Great Guide and tour
Very organised and informative small group tour
Best tour guide Henry
Henry was amazing! I enjoyed his dynamic and his enthusiasm about the history of the coliseum and forum. He made it so much fun.
Information-packed!
This was a very information-packed tour! Janina was a great, knowledgeable guide & took some great pictures for us! This is the way to get the forum, pallentine hill & coliseum all in. Doing it on our own, we would have missed so much! Thank you for the tour Janina!
