Ancient Rome

The most memorable parts of the trip was when Andrada brought us back in time to Ancient Rome with her knowledge of archaelogy and history. Her emphasis of scale and the power the Roman Empire left us in awe of what we were viewing.

great tour but the company was not reliable

Let me start with the good. The tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, she really did a great job! Now, we booked the tour for 12:45 pm. Showed up on time to find out that tour was cancelled but no one had notified us! The guy at the front desk blamed it on Viator but why would Viator cancel it?! They either didn't realize it was booked in the first place or cancelled it because there were not enough people and no one bothered to tell us. So he said he could book us for 3pm and would upgrade it to see the Colosseum underground so we were ok with it. Had to kill 2 hours before the tour, and we had two kids with us including a 7 year old. The tour was late, not 3pm, we left at about 3:25. We DID NOT get the underground upgrade and when we mentioned it to the guide she didn't seem to know anything about it. We also felt like we spent way too much time at the Colosseum and not enough time at the forum. Part of it was due to people having trouble keeping up with all the stairs and everything. It is a VERY strenuous tour! There were a couple of people who left after going to the Palantine hill cause they couldn't keep up. So just heads up on that! It is 3 hours of walking non stop, climbing steep stairs, and going up and down hills! We filed for and did receive a partial refund through Viator for all the troubles with the tour schedule but it was still frustrating to deal with it. We would've rather just gone on the tour we'd originally booked.

Diego was awesome. Very informative and thorough during our tour. My husband and I were both extremely impressed, and couldn’t have been happier with the experience! It is quite a bit of walking so make sure to bring some water bottles. There are places to fill up along the tour.

The Colosseum and Ancient Rome walking tour was a true highlight of our trip. Our guide, Flavia, was informative, engaging and clearly passionate about the abundance of history within the city. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Rome.

Too long, timing was off
BARBARA_W
, Oct 2021
We loved what we saw, but it was almost 3 hrs long. Our guide was good, but spent too much time on obscure info. We started on Palatine Hill, then spent at least 45 min around the outside of the Colosseum, the guide repeating lots of facts. By the time we entered 2-1/2 hrs in, we were exhausted. And he said he ran out of time so show us the Forum!
