The tour was fantastic, the guide we had was exceptionally knowledgeable about the architecture, the history and stories from over the millennia. She was also very funny at the appropriate moments. The underground with the archeologist was amazing, to walk where the gladiators once were and to hear about the mechanical innovations such as the lifts and the subfloors. The Roman Forum was a shorter tour but it was well balanced bc we had wanted to spend the majority of the time in the colosseum, which is what we did. At $450 CAD it was an expensive tour for 2 people but we definitely had priority access to areas that the general admission ticket did not grant and we never waited in the lines as our guide had our tickets and ensured smooth transitions for our group of 19 which was a great size. The headsets were good too so we could all hear the guide no matter if she was physically close to us or not. Highly recommend this tour and was worth the cost.

We reached 30 mins before the tour start time and were told it was delayed by 15 mins and that they informed everyone on WhatsApp. So download WhatsApp if you don’t have. Take the colored sticker and put it on your shirt and stand at the end of the road where all tours begin. Very easy process, hard to miss your tour guide or group if you arrive on time. Our tour guide was great and the underground Colosseum tour was worth the money. Lasted about 2.5 hrs. Bring water bottle and may be a snack bar.

All was good but was overpriced for what it was. The tour company booked the tickets direct from coop culture for €35pp meaning we paid an additional €200 with the only extra thing being guided tour of the forum. I would advise just booking your own tickets. They also moved us from our 9am booking to 11:15 for ‘logistical optimisation’ reasons which messed our plans up a bit.
