Traveler reviews
A Great Afternoon with Ribal
Ribal was our guide and did an exceptional job of giving us an overview of the history of the Colosseum and the surrounding area! We highly recommend this tour and had a great afternoon.
Excellent and informative!
This was a highlight of our trip to Rome! Alessandro was very knowledgeable and informative! He made the tour excellent!
Beware
There is no flexibility to change who attends the tour once you pay. My wife became ill the evening before our tour and could not attend the next day. I invited a friend in our group to attend in her place. However, because I did not submit my friends name when purchasing the tour, they were denied entry. No refund and no flexibility to change the name. Had to eat the cost
Unforgettable Experience worth the investment
Emily was an amazing tour guide and historian of the Roman Colosseum and neighboring Roman Forum/Palatine Hill. She knew exactly where to go to give us the best views and pictures and also navigate the crowds to spend less time waiting in line. The tour was also historically educational and the various stops were breathtaking in their historical significance. We would absolutely take this tour again and highly recommend a private tour for anyone who loves history.
Very complete
Despite the heat, the tour is enjoyable and complete.
