Traveler reviews
A fantastic toe dipping into the history of the Colosseum.
Our tour was were great. Our guide Annalisa was very knowledgeable, gave fun informative descriptions explaining in detail to give us a historical context for what we were seeing. Having done many tours, Annalisa made this one stand out amongst the best. Very highly recommend.
Ile the best tour guide ever
Very educational, our tour guide was Ile, I can picture her doing a doing a tour on TV . She has heart and love for her country, the tour was absolutely very informative and very educational, and she is a true professional in her field., We had a person who was very rude and obnoxious to our tor guide The woman was picking an argument with our tour guide And just looking to start a problem, and our tour guide handled her beautifully. And the woman finally stopped. She handled it like a true professional. I couldn't. I was amazed and very impressed how she handled that rude person, I can see ile being on television doing the professional tour guide on national t. V. She is a true professional and beyond gifted. A vocabulary in english is very well. She spoke clearly, and she spoke like a true, educated woman, I've been to many countries with my family, and an hour tour guide was the best that we ever ever had experienced.
Bad review
We did not get a tour as planned. According to other people that were part of our tour the guide never showed up. Then the Crown people left behind were not the most helpful or polite. We eventually were able to get in the Coliseum as a regular ticket. Crown Tours was the pits.
Good tour
Caroline was a great guide. She was knowledgeable and even brought a book with illustrations that helped along the tour. The only part we disliked was waiting in a long line in the sun.
Not the best Tour
Tour started 15 minutes late and was rushed from the start. Five of our group members got left behind as the tour guide sped down many stairs and across a road before even looking to see if everyone was with him which we were not. Tour company did not tell the guide that one of our group members had low vision and should have been alerted about the stairs. He spent a lot of time just talking in Al Cove’s rather than actually showing the stadium which was very brief. Other companies seem to be getting a lot of information as they walked but this guy preferred not to do that Accommodations were eventually made for people with a stroller and people who could not use the stairs but they were awkward for the other members of the group. Tour of the Colosseum seemed very very short. Time on Palatine Hill was interesting but the forum tour was also very brief.
