Traveler reviews
Not necessary for audio tour
That you have to have your own ear phones and device for audio tour. That the coliseum is not very clear on the areas to listen to on the audio. Coliseum is amazing even without the audio.
Bait and switch… awful customer service… lied about the refund. DON’T BOOK IT!
0 STARS! Awful! Don’t book this! We arrived at 3:15 for our 3:30 Guided tour. The time had been changed to 4:45 and now an audio tour. The person there blew us off and ‘called’ the help desk only after I threw a tantrum. There was a line of people behind us with the same issue. The person we called said they would give us a refund and call me back to confirm it. No call back but were viewing our what’s app messages. Still waiting on a refund. I had booked this weeks in advance as it was my husband’s only request while in Rome. We had plans later so couldn’t go inside at all. So disappointed in the customer service. They told us we could view other parts before and after but we had already done that and the reservation was for a time that worked for us. Total bait and switch… when I hung up with customer service the person on site jumped on his bike and rode away saying nothing to us.
Great guide and tour
Our guide was wonderful she was very knowledgeable and the tour was very informative and well worth it!
This ended up being great...
This ended up being great for my husband and I, however it was not explained well on the description. I thought it was a guided tour but it was an audio tour that basically just told you a lot of history. It was fine and I’m glad we had tickets.
Self guided tour great but time slots confusing
Very easy access to guide and tickets. However your time for the coliseum is set and you cannot re enter the other areas. So try to get as early in morning for coliseum as possible. We had a 10.30 coliseum timeslot and so only had 1.5 hours to do the rest else wait till after the coliseum. My overall ticket was for 8.45 am so that would be useful to know beforehand. Audio was excellent. Plenty of information so you didn’t need a guide.
