Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Guided Tour | Skip the Line Tickets

Partner and I booked this full tour for February 24th and it was fantastic. Simona was so informative and knew everything about how, why, and when the Colosseum was built, as well as the entire area and it's history and context. She's an archaeologist which really shows in her passionate delivery, and she's very comfortable touring with the group. Note that it was super busy in late February which was unexpected by all. Make sure you bring your own water & note that you won't get to stop in the Colosseum gift shop. The head sets are great and you can hear her even if you're in the back of the group. We had around 20 people and it was totally fine. She also provides time for pictures and you can ask her many questions. Thank you, Simona!!

Fantastic, informative and great value for money. Our guide Paulo was so knowledgeable and gave us a history lesson of the sites, region and Rome. Highly recommended

This was a great tour to get the impression of the colloseum, palatine hill and the forum. Our guide really helped understand the building, the events and the eventual decline of the area. The palatine hill part was nice, maybe a bit too much time for pictures. The forum a bit skipped over, but we got to explore it a bit more ourselves.

Our tour guide, Simona Mariotti was incredibly knowledgeable and and accommodating to our group. She is an Archaeologist and tour guide part time. With her educational background and command of the English language she provided an interesting, funny and accurate account of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hills. I Highly recommend Simona Mariotti for a wonderful experience.

Me and my partners first time in Rome and this experience was hardly to fault. The location was okay to find via GoogleMaps and the wait time was not too bad (10 or so minutes). Our first tour guide (George) was "VERY" Italian, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and brilliant. The Colosseum is beautiful and George provided amble time to mooch around the first and second floors of the Colosseum. Only criticism is that the tour was not inclusive of viewing the arena. After the Colosseum, another tour guide (American) led us into the Palantine Hill and Roman Forum. Even more funny with witty comments and jokes, the next tour guide was also knowledgeable. This part of the tour was great, less "built-up" with tourists and more scenic. To make this experience 5 stars, a more inclusive tour of the Colosseum would add value. Would recommend this experience! (p.s. Do NOT do this in the summer months!)

A group of three of us completed this tour, our guide was very knowledgeable. I would recommend the guided tours, you genuinely skip the queues and learn interesting facts you may otherwise miss out on.

It would have been five stars if the handover from Colosseum to Forum guides had been better. We felt we were just dumped and asked to fend for ourselves.

Tour lady at the Colosseum needs more English knowledge , at the end of the tour she instructed us to wait for a another guide to go to the hill and forum, hers instructed to wait at the exit until 25 past the hour for a guide using the same flag, we split the group to look fit in the plaza outside , finally one group advised the other they found her , she did not have the same flag but she was a excellent guide thru the second part of the tour

I thought our guide Robby was great! She was friendly, funny and interesting. She talked clearly, made sure the group was gathered before explaining different things. We felt well taken care of. Me and my 10 year old both really enjoyed our time!

Zelda was a brilliant guide for the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum Tour, I’m sure everyone that was on the tour would now be able to gain a first class honours degree! So much information from a very friendly, helpful guide who is truly passionate about her subject
