    • Please be advised that the exact reservation times may vary slightly due to decisions made by the Colosseum administration office on or before the scheduled tour date.

    What a great experience!! Loved walking around, learning about the forum and the colosseum, and just soaking in that Rome energy. I just wish it was not as hot when we went for the tour, but that is obviously not in the hands of the tour company. We did have the best tour guide (Martina) who tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible and also pointed us to every water fountain along the way.

    Sara es una guía competente y conocedora, habla perfecto español, y se aseguró de que todos viéramos lo que fuimos a ver. Una recomendación es que usen un audífono distinto para el radio. Con el que nos dieron se escuchaba muy mal. Yo cambié el mío con uno que traje de otro tour, y ahí sí se escuchaba muy bien.

    It was scorching hot during my trip, but I was very happy with my tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and recommended where to take good pictures for memories. He was also very considerate and offered the option to get water from the fountain every time we encountered one or to rest if we were tired. He also made us stand in the shades, so we didn't feel hot.
