Reviews for Colosseum And Ancient Roman Times Small Group
Group can hardly stay togrther

Generally poorly organized. More like a cattle run. Half of our group got separated from the herd and no way to find them except head for the exit
Phenomenal experience

Our guide Natalia was phenomenal. I felt her passion and enjoy the rich history. The tour was messy at certain parts but not her fault. A couple guests in the group also disappeared with the headsets leaving her in a difficult situation. The meeting point for us was directly outside the churn by the colosseum not the tour office.
Organization needs to be improved

There are two addresses on voucher for meetup. Tried to contact the operator by text and never got a response. Luckily still managed to find the way through the road blocked due to Giro race 🥲 30mins to get in Roman Forum then spent 25mins to wait for everyone used the toilet.. Lost the guide half of the trip in colosseum and never found him back 🙄️
Lost my money with this vendor

We made it to the coliseum on time 1:10pm for a 1:15pm tour. We looked at the info to find the tour guide, and then realized the pickup was in a different location. My dad was in a wheelchair so I tried to contact the vendor to see if we can meet them at the door instead. The Viator page gave me error after error when I tried to use the contact the vendor option. Then Viator got back to me at 1:22pm with a phone number. Nobody picked up, nor did they pickup the following day. Next day the website was working, emailed them.. crickets.. still have not heard back from them. What a waste of money. We ended up paying for a tour on sight at 2.30pm. Adult 40 bucks, wheelchair and helper 20 each. Considerably less, but probably no where as good as what we had hoped for with this tour operator. Very sad experience.
Highly recommend!
