Reviews for Colosseum With Arena Floor Entrance, Forum And Palatine Hill Tour
Could be better
Cameron_C
Very long, we had to leave because it was just way too long. Meeting instructions were unclear, I was just given a location to meet at. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and sweet, just be cautious in regards to the length of the tour. Also, was kind of hard to understand her English.
The worst guide ever
Olga_C
Absolutely awful guide. Her name was Olga. Primitive language, rambled on without any purpose, talked in circles repeating the same pointless information 3 different ways. 3 hours and zero information. This was over $200 thrown in the garbage. This was one of the most exciting places in the world and we got nothing out of this tour. We took out the headset half the time because it was impossible to take.
Great informative guide but a little long.
Amy_M
Our guide was very good... extremely informative and pleasant. Although the tour lasted as described in the itinerary, the schedule was flipped with the Colosseum as the last stop. I felt the length of 3 hours was a bit long for our family. We would have done better with 2.25 - 2.5 hours.
Poor tour guide in stunning places, should partially get our money back
Claude_K
The guide was half an hour late and could hardly walk. He was for sure not the youngest but he was so slow and out of breath we had to skip the Palantine (so no view from the hill) and did only the Forum and the Colosseum. Also we had to wait some 20 minutes to get entry to the Forum, so no skip the line, no fast track. At times our guide was hardly understandable. At the Colosseum the guide was ok in his explanations although he did leave us before we went to the gallery.
Can’t recommend

We tried getting there but the address in Viator sent us to another place, we tried contacting the operator 20 minutes before without response, when we got there (about 6 min late) we didn’t see anyone. Asked for a refund as they did not answer our calls and the refund was denied. I think this would’ve been resolved had they answered when we were trying to get in touch. Viator isn’t doing anything about it so this review is also for the platform, very disappointed.
