      This tour was superb! Christina was a wonderful guide - passionate and very knowledgeable. She made the tour exciting and fun. It was well worth the money and the time - we learned so much more than we ever would have had we toured it by ourselves.

      Sistine chapel
      Booking the skip the line tickets is VERY worth it, but wish we’d gotten more out of the experience. We couldn’t really hear our tour guide because the headsets were outdated.

      Not to be missed!
      From start to finish this was very well organised. We were meet by a guide who gave us all the information we needed and directed us to the right places, definitely needed! Our actual guide in the Colosseum was absolutely fabulous. Well worth doing the underground tour as it was informative, interesting and engaging. 10/10 thank you for a wonderful experience. A highlight of my holiday.

      Not a good day ?
      Due to heavy downpour lost 20 minutes and on arriving at Vatican unable to locate meeting point and on contacting the guide was unable to understand directions after giving our location. The guide did say she would wait another 15 minutes but unfortunately we never made it.As we are not tech savvy we had to rely on printed map which was not very clear in details.

      Good tour if you have limited time.
      Pretty good tour but due to how much there is to get to, you really just breeze thru. No real time to see the items in the museum. Basically a very quick walk thru. But being able to skip the lines & having commentary was nice.

      A LOT to see
      Tour was fine. It's a lot going on, both what to see and hear, with A LOT of other tour groups. Our tour leader did a very good job explaining the Sistine Chapel going over important highlights. (No pics in there BTW) It really was non stop talking in your ear as they keep you moving and there is SO MUCH. His accent was a bit thick not his fault but after awhile with a lousy ear piece you need a break because it just becomes noise after a few hours. Very polite and friendly fellow who was happy to answer questions. You visit St. Peters Basilica on your own, and after a lot of walking I found myself walking for another hour and a half marveling at everything. Be quick with pics on the tour because you're moving.

      A lot of information; Too much if you aren’t a history or art history enthusiast!
      Tour guide was very knowledgeable. But I felt like it was too much information for my boyfriend and I and we are college educated people just not big history buffs. I would have rather just gone on a tour that took us into St Peter’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. The other museums that came 1st were too much. Plus it was hot and crowded in those museums. It was 9 am and supposedly after the summer crowds.

      Could be improved
      Overall it was good . The most frustrating part of the tour was trying to find it . The meeting instructions say to meet at the square by the arena . The square is huge and packed . Had to call the company who then clarified that you meet by a green kiosk by the metro station, would have been helpful to put that in the description as it’s off the side of the square. The tour was supposed to start at 10 but it was closer to 11 before we went in , spent most of the time waiting for people and then ended up joining a larger group inside. Getting to see the underneath was a highlight for sure . It was less crowded down below and then you get a side entrance to the arena floor that is significantly less crowded then the other areas . The downfalls were that the group was large which made seeing the small exhibits very difficult . If you were at the back of the group you have to wait for the front to clear out and move on before you can see what they are talking about . Additionally , the group behind us was moving at a faster pace and pushed us through quicker . They let you loose to explore the rest of the arena on your own but it was too crowded to see anything . If you want to see the underground then do it , but if you are looking for an in depth tour about the history of the arena then pick a different one .

      Our guide Maria Theresa is an expert historian. She gave A LOT of information, which made us appreciate the Sistine Chapel even
      Excellent, but go early! The Vatican and your meet up place was packed PACKED! with tourists before 8:15 am. Our guide Maria Theresa guided us around many other tour groups and kept us in the shade. She is an expert historian. Don't forget to tip her well!!

      Loved it!
      This was a great excursion and definitely worth it! We had been to the colosseum before but we did not experience the underground. Very worth it! You see so much more!

      Visiting from LA
      Sometimes the microphone was a little far from the guide’s moth, and I couldn’t understand. The tour guide was well informed.

      Great experience
      Amazing experience. Our tour guide was perfect. Very knowledgeable. Explained everything very clearly. 10/10. Unfortunately we could not do the Roman Forum as the queue was at least 2 hrs long in 34° heat which was just imbearable.

    This was well worth the 3 euro train trip from Rome in a very clean train which took approx an hour.
    You had to walk through the shopping area to get there. Which was lovely in its self.
    The gardens were fantastic, with lots of beautiful fountains. There are a lot of steps as gardens are on different levels, but well worth it. The villa has beautiful rooms with fantastic decorated walls and ceilings. This is a must if you are spending longer in Rome, or seen all the major tourist sites.
