The tour was good but our English speaking tour guide didn’t speak very good English so it was very hard to learn about the colliseum while trying to decipher what she was saying! She was very nice just not ideal circumstances!

From start to finish this was an amazing experience. Communication was a breeze and staff were very helpful and quick in replying to any texts sent. Our guide - George - was absolutely brilliant! Very knowledgeable and took his time with us. He stopped in shaded areas and was very concerned for the large groups well being. He was also very funny and interactive. Kept the entire group engaged. The tour company was Barcelona or something and I would highly recommend this tour. Lots of walking so be prepared for that. Went my my family, included an 11 year old and a 70 year old and all enjoyed.

DO NOT BOOK!!!! We got scammed into this booking and robbed of an experience of a lifetime with our children! We booked this 1-hour Express Colosseum tour thru La Vacanza Travel for August 2'nd @ 5:00 pm start as we had dinner reservations for 7 pm and we are only in Rome for the 1 night prior to our cruise departure! Received a text from the company's representative SIMONE via WhatsApp the day prior to say to meet at 5:40 pm and the tour will start at 5:55 pm! I questioned him on the time change as our booking was for 5:00 pm and he/she replied stating that they were forced to move the time due to ticket issues. Please refer to the WhatsApp chat thread attached. We showed up early at 5:32 and started sending messages on WhatsApp as we were at the meeting point but no one else was there - ** All messages were being read right away but no reply.... We waited and waited and finally someone local directed us to the La Vacanza Travel office right around the corner down an alley - We went inside only to be informed that there is no such thing as a 5:55 pm start since the last tour is 5:30 as they would have to clear security before the gates lock up at 6. As we are discussing this with the front desk, another family with children came in behind that were given the exact same start time of 5:55 which was also changed BY SIMONE from what they originally booked at 5:00 pm. They also got robbed from visiting the Colosseum! They told me that I should see the refund in 3-5 business days... Today is August 15'th and STILL NO REFUND! Contacted them again thru WhatsApp and no reply!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND OR YOU WILL ALSO BE ROBBED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE... SHAME ON THEM!
