    An excellent 2 hours spent learning some history with Marcius
    We had a great time walking around the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum with Marcius as our guide - he was excellent and made the tour so much better than walking through these areas on our own and reading the information. We never felt rushed and Marcius knew exactly when to stop and explain the history and really helped us visualise the grandeur of what the area would have looked like 2000 years ago. The colosseum part of the tour was also excellent, with lots of tidbits about the structure and general format of how the gladiator battles would have worked (if you are really into your history I would suggest a longer tour of the Colosseum as you get a 20 minute slot). The tour was well organised with the exception of the meeting point not having the 'white flags' out when we arrived. You are given an earpiece which worked well and made it easy to take pictures and do your own thing whilst Marcius was still talking. Salute Marcius! From Miles (SPQR gladiator) & Josephine, UK

    Amazing tour
    Elida was our tour guide and she was amazing. She knows her history and made it enjoyable. So good to hear the history through the centuries and how some of ancient Roman history exists today... Nike!!! Thank you Elida 😊.

    visit to the colosseum, palatine hill, forum
    Elida was very amazing, super informative, kind, helpful and very knowledgeable :) really enjoyable experience :)) definitely recommend booking in advance though as i think it will be cheaper (for two young people travelling it was lowkey out of budget)

    Very informative and well run
    Elida was a great tour guide and gave us a deep understanding of what took place at the coliseum with all its glory and horror. The Roman forum explanations were very informative as well. The tour company was very nice and was able to accommodate with a special headphone to fit over my friend’s hearing aid. Thank you for this tour.

    Sergio saves the day
    Sergio was incredible. He rushed in to help someone who fainted from the heat on our tour. (Older person and it was mid 90’s out). Sergio jumped to the rescue and got support immediately. Not to mention, he shows you things in the colosseum that you otherwise would’ve walked right on by. 10/10. Highly recommend Sergio for the tour!

    Guide left us stranded at security
    Lost the second part of our tour totally. There are four sets of security at the Coloseum where you need to show picture ID and ticket. At the second set inside the building, the guide sailed through and left the group to make their own way through. My partner had a delay due the crush and we lost the group as the guide had taken them on without checking his group were all through ok. We complained to Italy Wonders and they agreed it is the guides responsibility to see the customers through all the various security but still we were denied the chance to join another tour or offered any refund. Make sure you request your guide must see you through the security checks and not charge through in front of you like ours. Very disappointed.

First it was advertised as 14 ppl max and there were nearly 30 in the group. Secondly while the guide was nice and pleasant and tried hard he was scattered and jumped around so much it was really hard to follow. We stopped and he talked in places where there was nothing and ran through places where there were interesting things to look at. The HEAT was the biggest topic, at 6;30 7:30 8:30 and even 9:30 it was hot hot hot and very humid inside in all but the remaining couple of rooms. This was the most surprising part, thousands upon thousands of pieces of priceless art and tapestries and no climate control, surely they can afford it. What a shame. Then to cap it off they trap you in a never ending maze to leave, you spend another hour just following the maze to get out through gift shop after gift shop trying to pull your last bit of money out. Skip the tour, skip the guide, go early morning, Take your time and split it up into 2 days. The cabbies will gouge you when you get out, walk a few blocks away to get a ride home. All said I’ll give it a 2 out of 10. False advertising on size of group and how crowded and no mention of the heat. Go get your own ticket it’s 1/2 the price, walk right in and buy it.
