Reviews for Colosseum Express Guided Tour
The Forum was so much...
KAREN_B
The Forum was so much more interesting than I expected. I’m sure that is due to the guide’s knowledge and pacing.
Amazing tour of the Colosseum and Palantine Hill

Tamara_S
Easy to find your guides. Knew the history and made it fun. Guide kept us in the shade so we could stay cool. I would book with them again.
Great tour!

We were a group of 12 (6 couples). We really enjoyed our tour, but did find it hard to understand the guide sometimes as she was Russian and spoke a little fast. She was very lovely and knowledgeable though.
