I had the pleasure of participating in an unforgettable guided tour of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill with the Italy Pass tour operator. When you admire the Colosseum, you experience a feeling of grandeur and magnificence. The guide told us the thousand-year history of this monument and revealed truly fascinating details. For example, how special effects were set up for shows, the life of gladiators and the funny anecdotes handed down by ancient authors. Plus, we discovered the truth about the infamous "thumbs down." The Colosseum is truly a magical place. After the visit to the Colosseum, we crossed the square dominated by the Arch of Constantine. This triumphal arch allowed us to understand the artistic taste of the Romans and the celebratory role of art in the service of power. The guide told us the history of this monument and gave us time to take photos. The tour continued to the Palatine Hill, where we explored the ancient ruins and admired the panoramic view of Rome. The guide told us stories of emperors, intrigues and daily life in ancient Rome. It was fascinating to walk among the ruins and imagine the past greatness. The guided tour was made even more special thanks to the "skip the line" service, which allowed us to avoid unnecessary waiting. The guide Daniela was knowledgeable and engaging, and the group was small, which made the experience more personal. I highly recommend this visit to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the history of Rome

Very confusing trying to find where to go/line up for this trip. We had to go check in a certain location before lining up which was badly noted. Once checked in we had to wait for well over an hour before leaving the check in office to line up for are tour. Trip itself was very good and would highly recommend but there was an awful lot of waiting around and I feel like the ‘skip the line’ ticket may have been a waste of time as if we had a normal ticket we could have been in faster. I would recommend the trip but not with this company if you are in a hurry.

When you see the line up of people who havent pre-ordered their tickets and then you get to go straight in, you realise how good this is. Our own fault that we didnt read the instructions properly for where to pick up the tickets, but once we realised our mistake, we couldve saved ourselves some hassles. Staff were friendly and answered any questions. We didnt get a guided tour, instead just wandering by ourselves, either way would be fine.

This was the most disorganised tour we have ever been on. The tour guides did not arrive and it took 2 hours for them to find one. By this time more groups had arrived and our group of no more than 20 turned into 60. We had organised an early start to beat the heat of the day but instead followed the guide in our group of 60 from ticket box to ticket box to get our tickets. We ended up leaving the tour early as it was very poor and when we did there were only 10 people left out of the 60. We paid for 7 people and was the biggest waste of money and time unfortunately.
