Reviews for Colosseum Gladiator’s Arena Semi Private Tour
Superlative tour

Fantastic experience! Very well organized tour and the guide was very knowledgeable and nice. We highly recommend this provider.
Horrible and super expensive not worth the money

Avoid this tour at all cost. We paid 220€ for a tour that was supposed to last 1h30 and only lasted 45 minutes. We were two adults and two children. They made us pay full price even though the children didn’t use the audio guide as they don’t speak English. We found out when we got there that it is actually free for the children to enter the coliseum, so we actually paid 220€ for two adults which is insane. They never explained this to us even though we did tell them the age of the children ahead of time. The tour guide was in a really bad mood and quite rude, some people of the tour left after 10 minutes because of him. He was really angry if you asked questions he felt were stupid. It was terrible.
Large group- access to first and second levels

The group had 20 people- which I swore the tour was listed as “semi-private” with max of 12. Also we showed up 30 minutes early to check in- thankfully! Since when we arrived they told us we “made it just in time since they were starting early”. But the tour itself was great - just the right length for our teenagers.

Did the Colloseum tour today, our guide was Teddy. His knowledge and explanations were fantastic. Learned so much and the experience was wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Forum and paletine hill was not included with guide. The tickets were given to us to find our way solo. And the colosseum part was so-so.
