Traveler Reviews

    A very big day and a lot to take in and NO lines. Vatican was sensational and the lunch was very good considering the time frame the restaurant had to prepare the meals plus it was convenient to be transported to the Colosseum. Our guide Tahani was very good taking time to explain in full to all of the group. Possibly a lot for some older and less agile

  • 02-Dec-2019

    It was wonderful! Guides and transportation were spot on! Not a tour for people with mobility issues. It wasn’t a problem for me but it came to mind after the many Km’s we walked and many many stairs involved. Highly recommend!

  • 18-Nov-2019

    Highly recommend this tour. Hotel pick up was a half hour late but the driver was courteous and apologetic. Both tour guides were very good and Rita was terrific and was very well informed and fun. It was a big advantage being able to 'skip the line' and if you have limited time in this beautiful city this is the way to do it!

  • 11-Nov-2019

    It was too much to do in one day. Possibly because it was a holiday weekend in Rome and we didn’t realize that when we booked. We missed touring the Colosseum and Paletine due to time constraints. Another time we would book separate tours. Viator is very easy to deal with and the guides were all very knowledgeable.

  • 07-Nov-2019

    Make sure you are aware of the time allotted to see all of the attractions. The second part of the tour was very rushed. We only had about 10 minutes to tour the Colossum because in November Palatine Hill close early we were not told that at booking. We only had 5 minutes to tour Palatine Hill, hold up at entrance. We did not get a chance to see the Roman Foram at all. We were a little disappointed, but overall Rome is beautiful. So if you have a chance to go, Please do!

  • 05-Nov-2019

    Generally a good trip, but due to early closing we had to rush around the colosseum to try and fit it all in, sadly this spoilt the tour.
    Luch was very good and enjoyable

  • 28-Oct-2019

    the tour was good the lunch was very commercial.. Restaurant was nit too accommodating Change the place for lunch for a more traditional place, and include a drink please

  • 23-Sep-2019

    This tour is a great way to see the highlights of Rome - especially worth it is the "skip the line" option for the group tours. I only had the weekend in Rome, so this was well worth it for me to be able to fit in as much as possible in a short time frame. That said, the tour was mostly very impersonal and I felt a bit like we were cattle being herded and shuffled around between different locations, different guides, etc. The guide we had in the afternoon (Matthias?) was very good, shared a lot of information, and actually tried to connect with individual travelers despite the fairly large size of the group (~30 or so). With a clear idea of what to expect from a tour, it's a good way to see a lot of the highlights of Rome. P.S: be prepared for a lot of walking!

  • 23-Sep-2019

    Although the sites were simply stunning, I must say that I did not get to really enjoy it at all. The guides were not well organized and did not truly read their audience well at all. I found it very difficult to be inside both the Vatican and the Colosseum and be stuffed next to bunches of people while the guide needed to get their point across. I think it is great to explain everything we see but not at the point of exhaustion. Our guide from the morning tour talked so much that she made us miss our opportunity to get the lunch promised to us. The sad part is I don't think I will get reimbursed. No one wanted to take blame for this. If you can visit on your own. Do no use this company.

    Well worth doing but not in the heat of summer and you need alot of water and good walking shoes also a hat as there is no shade
