Our visit to the Colosseum was a truly unforgettable experience, and we owe much of it to our guide Rosario. Her knowledge and passion for history brought every detail about the Flavian Amphitheater and Rome's rich history to life in a unique way. She transported us back in time with her clear and engaging explanations, allowing us to further appreciate the magnificence of this iconic site. We would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone wishing to enjoy a complete and enriching experience. It was much more than a visit, it was a lesson in history and culture, and we can't wait to return and continue discovering more of this amazing city!

We started off at the Ancient forum, then we went to the Palatine Hills and ended up at the Colosseum! Our guide George told us every little detail. Details that we wouldn't find easily. And because I like history I learned lots of new things! I would recommend it anytime! Take the guided tour and enjoy a walk through Ancient Rome and its history!

The environment was wonderful and the experience was very good, the only thing I did not like was the monotony of the explanation of the guide, who tried to transfer his beliefs and his anger towards the church in each explanation. This is the 3rd time I have visited the colosseum and I am sure there will be more, but I hope to have another guide in Spanish.

We had to return the next day to enter the coliseum because there was a problem with the tickets, the fault was mine because I bought tickets for adults 18-24 years old, and I am older, in my opinion is one thing to improve in the menu of the web because it can be confusing, and I think I was not the only one. But in the end everything was solved, thanks to the local partner and thanks to the fact that we had the whole Sunday to be able to come back, that's why my positive rating.

It was a very good tour and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She was occasionally a litle hard to hear/understand, although some of that was due to the size of the group. The beginning of the tour was a little disorganized, but I think that may have been due to understaffing. it took a while for the group to get organized. A general announcement about how we were being organized would have been helpful. The tour itself was exellent, and our guide was very well informed. It was amazing to see the Colisseum up close. It was worth it to skip the lines, and to move through the process with someone who was familiar with the process. I would recommend the tour to others.

The tour stated late because there was no guide the staff were not in a uniform as mentioned in the email so very difficult to find. The guide disappeared to take the lift down while myself and others required the life down we found our own way to the lift and could not find the guide after returning to the bottom of the stairs the guide did not advise of a meeting place or the area we would be viewing next, we called the office and they were not helpful to call the guide on his mobile phone for us. I would like a 59% refund as only had a guide during the visit to the coliseum Not very happy

We took a guided tour around the colloseum, Palatine Hill and Roman forum and we were very pleased with it. Our tour guide, Lumi, was very knowledgeable, very sweet, knew when to throw in a bit of sarcasm, when and how to make a connection with the old and new world and when to just say the story. There were kids in the group and she was mindful about them too. At the end she recommended us a few places to eat and visit. We ended up with a great experience and we're glad we took it.

The timetable of the guide was not in accordance with the official schedule because it was too long and boring, we left before it was over because at the time the visit was supposed to end we had only seen the colosseum and we still had to see the palatine and the forum.

We booked on the guided tour - you meet at a location just above the colosseum, very easy to find and plenty of staff to help check you in and get ready. We arrived 30 minutes before the tour which is plenty, there is a cafe located nearby for drink and toilet 😀. We had Roberto the guide, he was excellent and a great guide- the queue was around 30 mins to get in but that was fine as Roberto was explaining everything to us, so it really wasn't a problem. Inside the tour was great and we were together for about 1.5 hours and then you are free to explore alone. We had a great experience and I would recommend this tour to friends and family.

The tour guide was difficult to understand but it was also a pain that we had booked the express tour due to our flight home being that afternoon and we spent the first 20 minutes letting everyone go to the toilet and fill up water bottles despite the tour only just starting. It was 37 degrees and we were stood waiting for ages outside a toilet that smelt pretty bad. After 20 minutes of not even getting into the colosseum due to waiting for toilets and water fountains (plus an extra 5/10 mins of waiting to get in - which is to be expected) we were then 30 minutes into the tour, hot and wanting to get around. We then left the group and did our own tour because we couldn't stand waiting around and we couldn't really understand what the tour guide was saying anyway. The positive was that we didn't have to queue for ages to get into the colosseum.

I loved the experience, much better than going alone without a guide to the Coliseum. We skiped the line, this alone is awesome.
The ultimate way to experience all the Colosseum has to offer, with exclusive underground access.

The Colosseum Underground access itself was great, however the guide was late and a bit difficult to understand. He was very knowledgable though. We paid for the Colosseum Underground, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum Guided Tour which began at 2:40pm (the only time offered on our day).....but nowhere did it state that both the Palatine Hill and The Roman Forum would be CLOSED by the time the Colosseum tour was over so we'd have to go a different day! We were only in Rome for the day, so lost the opportunity to see those sights.....really disappointed.

We purchased our tickets online weeks ahead and it was so easy. Our guide was extrordinary. He was an older man and an archiologist who had been worked at a dig site there at the Roamn Forum years earlier. I wrote his mane down and now I can't find it. He was the most incredibly informative and fun guide. Our experience was fantastic!!! I would highly recomend this to everyone. I think we logged about 15,000 steps over 6 hours for the Colisseum/Palatine Hill/Roamn Forum. So amazing. Bring your camera, good walking shoes, hat, sunglasses, and water bottle & snacks to keep you energized!

The tour guide Marta was very comprehensive, if we didn't understand something, she explained it in 2-3 languages. She also answered questions outside the tour, I would get more tickets with her if there were other tours Thank You Marta

We like everything: the prime information about the tour, the colliseum, Palatine hill and Roman Forum. Our guide Julia was amazing - she was very kind, sincere and skilled. As she said, we really remembered her when tried Italian pizza, saw the pigeons and talked about this amazing experience!

My husband and I visited the Colosseum in the morning and left for the Roman Forum after lunch. When we arrived at the site, the Headout guide had already used our ticket with access to the Forum. We had to buy two tickets on the spot. We spent 36 euros unnecessarily. I would even like to request a refund for the ticket we bought afterwards. I have the receipts and the email sent to prove it. How should I proceed?

This tour was amazing, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave excellent information. I went for the underground tour as I wanted to know more about the workings of the colosseum - this was definitely worth the extra money to explore how the events would have worked. The forum and the palatine hill were spectacular and seeing the panoramic views over Rome were well worth it.

I understand that there is a lot to cover on this tour. It was raining and the cobblestones were dangerous. Our guide walked too fast for some of us seniors, nearly ran up the hill and didn't keep our group together as well as he could. My husband lost the group and wasn't able to go into the Colleseum. He was very upset. The guide had an umbrella, but rarely used it to gather us. He did not use his microphone to make sure all were together. On a good note, he was very knowledgeable. He talked very fast, but got a lot in.

This was our favorite tour in our two week adventure through Italy. The underground portion, as well as the Roman Forum and Palantine Hill, was worth the money. We got chills being at the lowest level. The Coliseum is so beautiful regardless, but our guide Julia was amazing. The tour was about 3 hours so give yourself extra time if you're booking other tours and plans, but we didn't mind at all because she gave us so much information. You can tell she loves the job!

The tour was awesome ! We have done a normal general entry collesseum visit before in past year's visit however this time we did this comprehensive tour that included the under floors below the stadium. The star of the tour was the archeologist tour guide whom was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history. We went through Colleseum, Palatine Hill and Forum in detail with insights and before pictures of areas/buildings we were looking at on the day so was easier to conceptualise how it looked 2000 yrs ago. Not the cheapest tour but was worth it for our family.

We were lucky enough to visit the Colosseum with an exceptional guide, and the experience exceeded all our expectations! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, which made the visit even more captivating than we had imagined. Every detail came to life thanks to his rich and precise explanations. The highlight for us was discovering the basement, our favorite part of the tour. It was fascinating to see this place steeped in history, and to imagine all that once went on there. An unforgettable visit, and highly recommended!

The colosseum is such an amazing structure. How the people of that era could build such an amazing structure and without reinforcements and the man power it took to building it incredible. The fact that it's still standing today is a true testament of there engineering abilities. Loved it! Our tour guide Amanda was very knowledgeable, fun and energetic!

We LOVED Silvia! She was wonderful and so informative. Would have spent all day with her if we could. The places we got to see were we're just incredible. Plan more time then just the 2 hours as getting from one place to the next (especially if you have slow walkers or elderly individuals along) can really eat up some time. Would do it again!

Our guide (Maria I think) was absolutely fantastic!! She was friendly, thoughtful and had such a vast knowledge of the area and its' history. She even showed us photographs of what the area has looked like in the more recent past before it was excavated to discover all the ancient buildings and monuments. It was a very hot day and we walked a long way, but she allowed us to fill our water bottles at every opportunity and even waited for one member of our group to feel well again when they were a little overcome with the heat. I know my whole family; me, my husband and our daughters aged 21 and 17, thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rome. Just wear comfy shoes!
