Traveler reviews
Coliseum
Easy to find meeting point. Quickly got our tickets and we were on our way. Friendly helpful attendant.
The experience was for...
The experience was for three hours but we only had access to the colloseum for the last hour. This was not specified beforehand and made us rush when we did finally gain access. Also, just a reminder you need ID. No idea why, but they are strict about it.
Nothing but scalpers reselling cheap tickets you could get from the colosseum.
This is nothing but scalpers buying up all the tickets and reselling them to your customers. Very disappointed in what you let your company become.
Terrible communication, but we got in
Instructions prior to our tour were confusing, contradictory and no one responded when I sent an email and left a voicemail message. This was very stressful as there is a definitive time window to get into the Colosseum. Once we figured out where our tickets were and we didn’t need to meet anyone from the tour company we were able to get into the Colosseum without a problem. We didn’t receive an audio guide from the tour company but used the one provided inside the Colosseum. So basically our tour cost paid for a skip the line entry and that was it.
Amazing history!
I’m not sure what changed, but we actually didn’t get the Colosseum floor tour. We were given a refund for that part of it. I don’t know if it was because of that, but we spent what seemed to be extra time on Palatine Hill and going over the ruins. It certainly wasn’t our tour guide’s fault, but a couple of people from our group really ruined the tour for everyone else because some members of their party had gone to the wrong meeting point and they spent the ENTIRE tour complaining to the guide and asking her to accommodate a separate entry, rejoin the tour later, and in general ruining it for everyone else. Lesson learned—make sure you have the right meeting point, and if you miss it, don’t expect everyone else to accommodate you.
