Fantastico! A five star experience!
Eamon C, Sept 2025
Colosseum is a must-see for anyone going to Rome for the first time. Great tour. Lovely local lady led us through the sites. Very knowledgeable with art history degree. Word of caution- you need to be fit to do the tour as there are lots of steps and ramps and the ground round tge forum is very uneven. Special thanks to the young man who phoned us just before the tour started when we were struggling to find the meeting point. Very impressive service. Bravo!
Great tour with...

Great tour with knowledgeable guide. Headsets worked well and although very busy with crowds of people we managed to see the majority of the areas. Once tour complete in the gardens you can stay in and visit the other areas. Skip the queue tickets so good value for money.
Amazing Trip

Felicity was excellent. Provided great explanations around the history of the Colosseum and took her time throughout the tour. The Palatine Hill portion of the tour was less interesting
