Perfect family coliseum tour!

Simona was so knowledgeable and was able to engage and entertain the entire family with the stories and history around the coliseum and Roman forum. We have kids from 5-21 years old and everyone learned from the tour and enjoyed the games and activities. Highly recommend this experience for any families visiting!!

Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Guided Tour | Skip the Line Tickets

Very professional, found the meeting point easily. The tour guide, Monica, mastered the material and always look for our safety and comfort. In the middle trip, we decided to ditch the radio headset due to technical problem. But she managed to deliver the rest of the tour flawlessly. Finished on time. We are so lucky to have found this tour on the very last minute.

Skip the Line Self-Guided Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hills Tickets

Gingerly booked these tickets having read some poor reviews due to limited funds for an alternative tour & being a last minutiae Larry. Though they didn’t send me the tickets instantly (I was sent a voucher) they did sent them one week before. Was pleasantly surprised that the entrance was easily found and the tickets were accepted! Would recommend this if you are after a self guided tour!

Colosseum Arena Floor, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

Amelio was our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable as a life long local resident of Rome, and gave us insight beyond just historical facts. He was patient yet thorough and got us to skip the line from the massive crowds. Our guide covered a lot of ground and we saw many things, the key was the ability to avoid the crowds and get to see everything. Amelio was also able to answer all our questions.

Incredible experience!

Skip The Line Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Romina was fantastic. She made the tour interactive which made it fun and she was full of knowledge, she answered every question even if they were not related to the tour. She was considered of those needing extra time to walk or take breaks. She also gave us enough time to take pictures. I would take another tour with her! The check in was easy and the meeting point easy to find. The price was worthy.

Money well spent
