Traveler reviews
Very interesting and...
Very interesting and informative tour of all the ancient sites. Communication before the tour was clear and helpful.
Request DONATELLA!!!
DONATELLA was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and fun. Spoke clearly and was very patient with our group. She was a wonderful guide and you really should request her if you’re a history buff. Grazie DONATELLA!!!!
Not a small group tour - bait and switch by viator
We were surprised to find out our tour was not booked through viator as advertised. We booked a small group tour - max 7 people (in the title) and we were placed on a 20 person group tour. We were traveling with family and a toddler which was why we wanted the smaller tour to help accommodate. Our group would’ve been 6/7 in attendance. The tour guide suggested to contact viator after the tour to get support and a partial refund. We contacted viator and they told me I am SOL. We paid a lot for the intimate experience and did not receive it. Very disappointed at how this was handled.
Most excellent
Lars our guide was great !! Visiting the Colosseum and arena floor was really cool. I wish I had gotten tickets for the underground, but just being able to view the underground was really neat. We saw a trap door from arena floor to underground.. The walk to the forum was nice and inside was incredible with the ruins, the palace, the museums and the views. Excellent views of the Colosseum from a different side. Love this tour and highly recommend.
Excellent experience
Bogdan our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. As someone who uses a cane, he kept checking to make sure our pace was good and warned me of areas to watch my step. He was great.
