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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide was excellent. Small enough group to see and hear all the insights the guide had to offer. Guide even recommended an excellent restaurant near the coliseum and walked us there. Superb experience.

Skip the Line: Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill Tour

Entering the Colosseum and visiting the Forum were spectacular. Giovanni set up the experience with details and the history of what we were going to see. He was excellent in his explanation and gave us plenty of time to ask questions. However, it would have been better if we had been told that we would be on our feet for close to the entire trip. I was beat by the time we finished the tour.

Great tour, knowledgeable guide.

Superb tour with very knowledgeable guide, very crowded (as usual, apparently) however this did not distract from the quality of the tour and we got to see all we wanted to.

Excellent tour and guide

Small-Group Colosseum Tour with Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Had a lovely time, Anna was a great tour guide - could have spent the whole day listening to her talk about wine! The food and wine was very good, and unique selections that you would not find on your own unless you were a Venetian.
