Reviews for Semi-private Tour: Colosseum & Ancient Rome Vip
Good overview
John_M
Great information about the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. I would have liked to hear more about the historical phases and drawing the Forum and Palatine Hill ruins into the arc of history. The Colosseum tour was great, but a little rushed through the history and archeological displays.
Meh at best.
Kathryn_P
Totally overpriced for what it was. Our tour guide at the forum seemed unenthusiastic and disinterested and we didn’t get any time to actually stop and look at anything or get off the main path. Colosseum tour guide was better and we ended there so we could wander a bit. At least we got to skip the lines. But for the differential between this tour and the entrance fees I was expecting higher quality tours. I wish I could get a partial refund.
The highlight of 8 days in Italy

The guide was excellent in describing the many things at Pompei and the site itself was spectacular particularly the arena and the many well preserved shops, homes and community spaces. The lunch and winery tour were quite nice. We preferred this tour above anything we did in Rome.
Patient, Professional and Polite - the Three Ps

What can I say? This tour couldn’t have been better, even if Russell Crowe had joined us as a special guest. Despite being the height of the busy season, the staff was incredibly patient, professional and polite (the three Ps). The tour guide, both highly knowledgeable and possessing a dry wit, brought vivid color to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. It’s hard to cut through the modern crowds and infrastructure to reveal the picture of an ancient city, but our tour guide did just that. And of course, we had the privilege of avoiding the interminable line. Great experience. Highly recommended to anyone, whether students of history or not.
Disappointed not VIP tour difficult to locate tour guide ticket had wrong address! Request refund!
