Pre-booked tickets avoided long queing. Tour guide and tour were excellent and very informative. Would recommend this tour.

The guide was very good the only reason that i have not given 5 stars is that it was difficult to find the guide in the usual crowds at the meeting point. A bigger sign on a longer pole would have helped as we had to resort to phoning to check we were in the right place all ending up OK but we did get a bit fraught as we though we would miss the tour.

Guide was good. We had trouble finding the correct line and the timed admittance was irritating.

she was a very careful speaker- (her English was a little hard to understand). but the information was great, and she has a lot of passion for what she does.

The tour was very good--it brought the reality of events at the Colosseum to life. Excellent.
Actually getting to the tour point and finding which line we were supposed to be in was crazy. Different 'official' people were telling us different things. We lined up in lines we weren't supposed to be in. It is wild crowded pandemonium all around.
Take the tour, but go very early to figure things out.

Excellent guide and helpful explanation. Arrived far too early. Website advised 60 minutes early but security staff turned us away and told us to return 10 minutes before allotted time. We did travel in November when it was quieter.

I did not like that I was not able to use the ticket on my phone. I missed my tour because I was trying to email my ticket to the office so that it could be printed out, even though I had the bar code on my phone. In addition, the woman at the desk who I was working with was not as polite as I would have hoped. However, the tour itself was great and very informative! I loved the use of headsets, I just wish the tour would have lasted a little longer!

The Belvedere tour was excellent. It was great to get up to the upper levels and see the building from that vantage point. Our guide was amazing and very patient with all us "stragglers".

Our tour guide was amazing with her knowledge of everything and ability to communicate with everyone. The only down fall is we felt like we ran through the Colosseum with no stops to take anything in. We are constantly moving.

The tour was very well done. I might have liked a guided tour of the Palantine Hill and the Forum as well. I thought that was what I had chosen.

The guided tour we booked was quite short, and not as informative as we would have hoped for.
I found it hard to find out exact which tour to book

The colosseum was beautiful and grand. Tour guide looked very tired but I was happy just to be there since this was a childhood dream of mine. It's too bad more of the surrounding areas weren't restored.
