The Colosseum We Never Knew
Sam (our guide from Cairo, Egypt) was very knowledgeable. He provided context for each historical detail shared about the Colosseum. His knowledge was extensive and he was VERY engaging. He looked after each member of our tour group to ensure our safety, pique our interest, and engage with the varying levels of historical knowledge.
Sam painted vivid pictures for us with his background knowledge, which made being out in the heat worth it!

Our guide, Philippe, was very knowledgeable about Roman history, but the only drawback was the audio quality of his microphone. The tour itself was very well organized, but we would have liked to re-enter the Colosseum at our leisure to further explore it.

Colosseum is a must see in Rome. Yes is filled with tourists but it is a wonder. This tour was small group which is nice. Beautiful.

Great Experience
It was very cool to see the Colosseum at night, especially the underground level. The guide was not very engaging though.

Maya was exceptional!
The experience overall was great. The all access pass to the Colosseum was definitely worth the money, and the guided tour of the Roman Forum was definitely a highlight. Our guide was Maya. I have done many guided tours over the years and my guides have not always been knowledgeable AND engaging. Maya ticked both boxes - we could not have asked for a better experience or guide. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Leo was excellent, patient, and knowledgeable. The tour starts in the colosseum and ends in the forum. You can stay there and explore on your own as long as you want. The group bypasses long lines and fast tracks through security.

We recently did the Colosseum Tour with Arena Floor and Roman Forum and had an amazing experience. Our tour guide, Vasco was engaging, knowledgeable and went well past the scheduled three hours to make sure everyone got the most out of the tour. His stories and insights made the history fascinating and easy to appreciate.
Highly recommend this tour and Vasco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Do the Colosseum! A must see!!
The Colosseum was a definite must see!! Unbelievable! Do not miss it if in Rome! The crowds were horrendous due to it being the Jubilee year, but still so worth it! Expect schedules to be behind due to this. Our tour guide was very good, but can’t remember her name, sorry! Totally enjoyed this tour!!

Colosseum Rome
We couldn’t find the rep at the arch and subsequently weren’t allowed to queue until the correct ticket time. The Colosseum was impressive but we struggled to find our way out. It was a route march.
