We booked and paid £77 for a tour with Get Your Guide who partnered with Fun Tours, unfortunately we never got our tour due to being late on arrival, however, we accept our lateness but the directions, description of location and lack of signage did not help. On arrival we were met with a surly automatic response ....it’s ur own fault, nothing we can do and you need to go back to get your guide. So I would like to thank Fun Tours for the first impression we received of Roma! Perhaps as I work in the service tourist industry in Scotland I know we would do our best to remedy unfortunate situations even if we think it’s not our fault......yip offering a different tour after u’ve been nippy isn’t helpful neither is informing that you can reschedule our tour for a mere further 50euro! Very poor show! I have attached pics so you can see that the Fun Tours isn’t actually located behind the metro .. see if you can find it.....
Do NOT book with Fun Tour

We took the 3.5 hour tour of Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palantine Hill with Fun Tours on May 30, 2019. We had booked our tickets for 3:00 PM tour over a month in advance. After we paid and were walked to the meeting point, we were told our 3:00 tour started at 3:35. We are a family of 5 traveling from USA and had children with a busy schedule and did not appreciate the tour company changing the time on us. Our concerns were dismissed with comments like "Its Italy, get used to it" and "This will be better for your family since the 3:00 tour had more people.". Once our tour started at 3:45, there were more than 45 people in the "small group" tour that was supposed to be less than 25 people. Our tour guide was not good at all - her English was poor at best and she was extremely soft spoken. Words that are part of the regular tour were not pronounced correctly - to the point that people in the tour were aborting the tour about 20 minutes into it. There was approximately 45 minutes of free time to explore the Colosseum independently during the tour before meeting with a different guide for the Forum and Palantine Hill. At the meeting point for the second portion of the tour, it was a completely different group of people and the number of people in the tour was well over 50 (again we paid for less than 25 people in our small group tour). Our guide of the Forum/Palantine Hill, Jonathan, was excellent. He did end our tour on a positive note - even the children appreciated the information she shared and his humor. I would not recommend Fun Tours as it is clearly all about taking money from as many people as possible and not providing the advertised experience.
Great tour

Great tour guide in Colluseum. We really did skip the Line. Sailed through crowds. Afterwards had another tour with Anton on Paletine. Well worth the money.
Poor says it all.

We walked down to the Colosseum intending to visit the site along with the Forum/Palatine Hill on our 3 day Roma pass, but it turned out to be a free day. Fun tour was hawking its tours claiming that we would save 40 minutes skipping the line and offering a combined tour for half price. When asked how many would be on the tour we were told 12, which expanded to 20, 25 and finally 36 including two who were rushed on without tickets, thereby delaying the other 34 people. We saved no time and the tour consisted of the guide holding up pictures and providing very limited facts in broken English. We skipped the second part of the tour (Forum/Palatine). got our own ticket and did it ourselves with a little help from our guide book. I suggest you do the same.
