    DO NOT BOOK!!!! We got scammed into this booking and robbed of an experience of a lifetime with our children! We booked this 1-hour Express Colosseum tour thru for August 2'nd @ 5:00 pm start as we had dinner reservations for 7 pm and we are only in Rome for the 1 night prior to our cruise departure! Received a text from the company's representative SIMONE via WhatsApp the day prior to say to meet at 5:40 pm and the tour will start at 5:55 pm! I questioned him on the time change as our booking was for 5:00 pm and he/she replied stating that they were forced to move the time due to ticket issues. Please refer to the WhatsApp chat thread attached. We showed up early at 5:32 and started sending messages on WhatsApp as we were at the meeting point but no one else was there - ** All messages were being read right away but no reply.... We waited and waited and finally someone local directed us to the Viator office right around the corner down an alley - We went inside only to be informed that there is no such thing as a 5:55 pm start since the last tour is 5:30 as they would have to clear security before the gates lock up at 6. As we are discussing this with the front desk, another family with children came in behind that were given the exact same start time of 5:55 which was also changed BY SIMONE from what they originally booked at 5:00 pm. They also got robbed from visiting the Colosseum! They told me that I should see the refund in 3-5 business days... Today is August 15'th and STILL NO REFUND! Contacted them again thru WhatsApp and no reply!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND OR YOU WILL ALSO BE ROBBED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE... SHAME ON THEM!

    The guide was very bad, not only confused, disorganized but also rude. She is not very knowledgeable, her attitude is very bad. She made us wait for no reason at the beginning she was confused with the number of people, tickets, so our tour started much later and we had to wait few times inside Colosseum for her to finish paperwork. the tour had to be finished at 7 when it’s closing time. Very bad experience and waisted a lot of money since we we are family of four

    The sheer scale of the structure and the guide information and background. An amazing experience, not to be missed if in Roma.

    The easy access was the best part of the tour. The large group was not comfortable for us. We should have done private. The tour walked too quickly away from our family.

    The coliseum was an amazing structure that was made even more amazing by having such a great tour guide.

    We went in fast, and our tour guide was wonderful! A lady in our tour fell and hurt her knee , they were quick in getting help and while they were taking care of her our tour guide kept it very professional and we were not forgotten by giving us more information until the lady was better and able to continue with us.
