Reviews for Colosseum Express Tour With Skip-the-line Access To Ancient Rome
Terrible experience with the local help

The local representative in Rome - CIS are scammers. They take your money and don't buy the tickets so you have to wait hours.
Definitely Recommend!

I do recommend the quick tour it was very informational our guide was amazing! however expect large crowds it’s going to be hard to move around the colosseum and get pictures. We had a fast pass and we still waited for about an hour before we even got in.

We showed up early to the meeting point only to have the tour operator guy tell me my tour was canceled. He provided no explanation and seemed completely unapologetic. He never notified me about the cancellation prior to showing up. He then told me that we could do a tour at a later time that afternoon. We again showed up early at the meeting point and the man was no where to be found. He then appeared 5 minutes after the tour time and told us “sorry but you were late, you can go on a tour in an hour”. Before we left, he told us that we could go on a tour with a different group. He claimed that he sent me a confirmation of a refund. I checked my email saw no message and argued with him for a good bit before a refund notification was emailed. The refund still hasn’t cleared and I’m not sure it’s legitimate. He pointed us to another tour from the same company who was a lady wearing a hijab and she told us that we had to pay €40 per person to join their tour. We agreed as it seemed like a fair price and the refund was seemingly in process. We were then walked over to the forum and dropped off in the “purchase ticket line”. Our tour guide was an African woman who told us to wait in the line. She never introduced herself to us or others in the group. She then pulled out her phone and began screaming on the phone profusely for 20-30 minutes. After waiting in the line in the hot sun for a bit longer (around an hour or so total) we decided to just get up and leave. So much for “Skip the Line Tickets”. It was very disappointing but we realized this group wasn’t even legitimate, they were con artists who were completely unprofessional. These people are TOTAL FRAUDS. I’ve gone on a lot of tours in my life but this was head and shoulders the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had with a tourism group. TOTAL SCAM AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I advise anyone that under absolutely no circumstances is it worth it to deal with these people. Go to the Colosseum on your own or hire a local ITALIAN guide. I cannot emphasize it enough, AVOID CIS TOURS.
Ruined trip

Guide did not show up. After talking to your billing representatuve ge said I am suppose to be refund me. I am waiting. Due to the experience I chose to cancel my tour for the next day. And I wanted to make sure I got my money back. Your representative said he understood and I would get my money back. He lied I received an email saying my tour was canceled because it was within 24 hours and I would not get any money back. I new of the terms but the representative said he understood why I wanted to cancel and I would get my money back. I am out almost $500. And on top of that my husband is freaking out at me because the lost money. If we had known we would not get our money back we would have gone to the tour and seen if a tour guide would show up. Thanks for totally ruining our two days in Rome!!!!!
