Exclusive Private Guided Rome Colosseum Tour

In September, last year we thoroughly cherished our trip to the Eternal City. The 3-hour exclusive private guided skip-the-line tour to the major landmarks of Rome, including the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill was simply mesmerizing. Our official professional licensed local live Blue Badge tour guide, Maria steadfastly customized the entire trip, helping us to avoid the lengthy lines and crowds for visiting the 80 AD erected Colosseum. With Maria, we explored the first and second tiers of this ancient Roman amphitheater, where we were amazed to hear about the gory gladiator battles. We also learned about the history of the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum by strolling across its ruins. I both recommend this trip from Tour in the City and of course Maria!!
Private tours are worth the extra money

We did the private Colosseum and Ancient Rome tour. The guide was great...very informative! He also was compassionate and walked slower for our elderly mother to keep up. Only snafu we had was we scheduled the private cab service pick up and return. We didn't get the pick up, but got a return trip on the house and the original cost of both automatically refunded.
Excelenct tour

SUPER ORGANISED TOUR WITH A WONDERFUL GUIDE ZENDA

We booked a Colosseum tour with a small group with 'TOUR IN THE CITY'. We met them at their office as per the online ticket instructions. They organised a friendly bunch of people in the group and we then we met our guide ZENDA who did a fabulous job of keeping us all cheered up and engaged by telling us some great stories about the Colosseum. Being an archaeology teacher, her knowledge of the Colosseum was outstanding and we are awe struck by all that she shared. She timed the tour beautifully right from the start where we didn't have to wait in the large queues and we went right in. The colosseum is designed for all age groups. Stairs for those who can climb, elevators for those who can't. This great wonder of Rome which is partially restored is a testimony to a most fascinating history and if you have seen the movie GLADIATOR with RUSSEL CROWE you will almost feel it come alive with the views of the Colosseum, and the fabulous commentary by ZENDA. Don't miss it if you are in Rome. It just takes about 2 hours with to n fro travel. And the travel reminds me... Zenda was so helpful, even got a taxi for me and my family for the trip back to the hotel. These small gestures made it fabulous for us!
