Traveler reviews
Very expensive for what...
Very expensive for what it included. The stops were interesting but the cost was not worth it.......
Great experience
Absolutely wonderful tour and our guide was so kind. Very well organised. Good value for money and comfortable transport.
Something that you have never experienced
This tour was amazing!!!! Like nothing that I have ever experienced. Our guide was knowledgeable and respectful. She made sure that everyone stayed together as it is easy to lose people down there.
Surprising tour and well organized
Pleasant reception, everything was well arranged and our tour guide knew a lot to tell on the way to and from the catacombs. The tour itself was very engaging.
Not a live Coliseum Tour
Hello! I don’t usually leave reviews and am very easily satisfied, but I do want to leave a review because the description and details included here are not the experience we received. First, the people involved were very kind. They were friendly. But, the offering by the company was more about ensuring we arrived at the locations and less a tour offering itself. They took us by taxi to the Catacombs where they purchased us a tour ($10) offered by the Catacombs (when this was supposed to be a small group tour). This tour was great, but we could have accomplished this independently and the location was not busy or allowed benefit from having a tour guide that we couldn’t accomplish independently. We then were brought by taxi to the Coliseum where we were left to navigate a self-directed audio tour that we downloaded the night before. The audio tour did not align with the audio tour numbers of the Coliseum and, because we do not know the history of the area nor directions of the ruins, we did not know where to go and when to play each portion. We were not given any instructions of its use. There is nothing “live” about this tour at the Coliseum. I arranged this many weeks ahead of our trip and am disappointed by the Coliseum portion of this tour.
