Our driver, Antonello, was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him if you are thinking about this type of tour. He was so personable, had a lot of great knowledge to share, and fit in all the sights we wanted to see in the 5-hour tour. He knew the places to get out and take pictures and he made the experience in Rome a great one! Julia was our private tour guide at the Vatican. She was absolutely wonderful. She was so animated and shared with us the rooms and pieces she felt were the most important to see with only one day to explore the Vatican. We had such a wonderful time with her. She is one tour guide I will not forget! If you want an above-and-beyond experience at the Vatican, book with Easitalytours and request Julia. You will not be disappointed! This is the best Tour company out there. They are reasonably priced and the tour guides are absolutely top-notch!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about Rome and the islands and was super fun and interesting. We had spent so much time in the city during our ten day trip and I can honestly say that ITER tours tour to Ponza and Palmerola was one of my most treasured memories from the whole trip. Take this trip and use this company you will not be disappointed!

The Colosseum is one of those rare places that somehow lives up to the hype…read more The exterior alone is breathtaking, but once inside, it's hard to fully comprehend the scale, history, and engineering of what you're looking at. Walking through the structure and surrounding grounds, I found myself imagining what it must have been like nearly 2,000 years ago. Thousands of spectators filling the stands, roaring crowds, and gladiators stepping into the arena knowing they were the main event. What fascinated me most was learning that the arena was even flooded for certain spectacles. It's incredible to think about the level of ambition and ingenuity involved in creating entertainment on that scale so long ago. I also enjoyed spending time exploring the areas around the Colosseum, which are beautiful in their own right and filled with layers of history. This isn't a place to rush through. Give yourself several hours, take your time, and let your imagination do some of the work. A must-see when visiting Rome and one of the most memorable historical sites I've ever experienced.

The scale, the power, the history, everything about it is absolutely breathtaking. You can feel the history the moment you step inside. Knowing what happened there centuries ago gives you literal shivers. It's emotional, intense, and awe-inspiring all at once. Every stone tells a story, and it makes you feel so small in the best way possible. This is not just a landmark, it's an experience that stays with you forever. If you come to Rome and don't see the Colosseum, you missed everything. Rating: 10/10 -- unforgettable, unreal, legendary

You can tell they were getting us to hurry because they know the area would be overrun with other tour groups. They really wanted us to have the best time and experience there. And they sat us in a very good spot for the Wednesday audience with the Pope. I would definitely recommend this company.

He is definitely highly recommended. He is an archaeologist as well so he had a lot of fascinating things to share with us. We actually ran into him on three separate occasions in Rome by chance and he was great to talk to each time. The Colosseum tour we took also included the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill (both even more fascinating than the Colosseum in my opinion). The Vatican tour was with Claudia and she was equally as knowledgeable and fun! She obviously knew the folks she needed to to get around in this massive complex without having to wait for anything. The "no-line" entry most tours get has lines here. She had the hookup to get us even past those lines. The tour starts through the Vatican Museum and it was very crowded at the time we were there. She fought to make room for us to get in front of the masses to get a close look at all the things she wanted us to see. It was great to see her genuinely care about our experience. Just about every other tour group we saw in this places had at least 30 people in them. Both tours we took with Real Rome Tours had less than 10. We all had an equal opportunity to experience these beautiful sights with great knowledgable folks who even stuck around to answer any questions we had. They also give great recommendations on restaurants and other places you need to see while in Rome. Gerard was also a pleasure dealing with while booking our tours. He is well organized and gave us a great alternative when we wanted to do the Colosseum Underground tour that wasn't available. It worked out perfectly for us. I couldn't recommend Real Rome Tours any more.

When it comes to planning my travels, I'm a huge proponent of buying admission tickets directly as…read moreit cuts out any problems related to third-party businesses. There are exceptions to this rule; in the case of buying Colosseum tickets, the process to buy said tickets on the official coopculture.it site is a TOTAL NIGHTMARE. If you want to try your luck at booking yourself, check dbabe's posts on the TripAdvisor Rome forums - she tells you step-by-step how to do this. For the people that don't want to go through the hoopla, there are plenty of choices when it comes to third-party tours of the Colosseum. The most obvious choices are Walks of Italy and City Wonders/Dark Rome (which also offers Vatican tours if you're so inclined) but you have to take into consideration that the Colosseum doesn't just consist of the ground floor. The coopculture.it site lists the regular tour (1st and 2nd levels with arena floor), the underground, "panoramic view" (aka the belvedere - 4th and 5th tiers) and both. During my research, it turns out that the all-in-one tickets sell out *fast* through official channels because third-party has to go through the same process to buy tickets. Furthermore, several third-party companies offer the underground and/or belvedere tour but only ONE company managed to offer both on the same itinerary. Guess which company got my business. Here's the URL to buy tickets for the all-in-one-tour (https://www.romaexperience.com/rome-tours/all-in-one-colosseum-tour/). Includes skip-the-line privilege. Cost: €129.00 Length: 4 hours Includes: Colosseum/Underground/Belvedere, plus Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Meeting Point: directly across from the Colosseum. (Conversely coopculture.it costs €29.00 for just the Colosseum/Underground/Belvedere, but good luck getting tickets...) The first part consists of the Colosseum tour, which is given by the official coopculture.it guides. There is no way around this. For this portion of the tour you are also combined with another group so max ~24 people. She did her best with explaining all the levels but it was hard to understand her at times especially with her thick accent! The rest of the tour consist of the Forum and Palatine Hill. They are normally included in the cost of your Colosseum ticket and said ticket is valid for a 48-hour period, but there's no included guided tour nor audioguide. A good guide is essential to make the ruins "come to life", especially if you didn't do prior research or history/archaeology isn't your interest. While I was able to pay attention to the Colosseum portion of the tour, it was hard to pay attention towards the end. Didn't help that it got hot (37C); she rushed the Forum portion of the tour because people were more concerned about getting shade so I wasn't able to retain much information. I would still recommend this tour as a way to fully experience the Colosseum especially if you want to visit all the areas as only this tour lets you visit all the floors. I just wish that the guides that gave the tour were a bit more engaging so that I could learn more about these sights. PS: If you have at least two full days in Rome, it is strongly recommend to make your Vatican and Colosseum visits on separate days to maximize your sightseeing. They do have a combo Colosseum/Vatican tour but due to the nature of the site this would be one long, grueling day.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!! First of all, we booked our tour for four people months in advance, and reserved an 8:30am slot (as the morning is the best time for this tour in late May, as Rome gets hot fast). A few months later, I was informed that our start time had been moved to 10:00am, with no options to rebook at a different time for the days we would be in Rome (5 days in late May 2026). We received instructions on where and when to meet our guide, for this small group (basically, our family) VIP tour. On the day of the tour, we arrived early at the designated location, but our guide was not there. An employee at a nearby cafe insisted that "the tour groups meet down those steps" and pointed to the pathway to the entrance of the Colosseum. We went down the steps and looked around but could not find our guide. When we returned to the designated area (still before the 10am start time), a guide from another company told us our guide had been there but had left a few minutes prior. We went looking for the guide "with the green WALKS sign" but could not find him/her. I tried calling the customer assistance number provided in the email but was put on eternal hold. More than an hour later I was finally able to speak to a customer service representative, who said "because you missed your guide, there is nothing I can do for you" (or words to that effect. Because our guide had our tickets/passes to get into the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, we had no way to even visit the Roman Forum. I logged into the government-run website to see if there was any way we could purchase scheduled-entry tickets for the Colosseum sometime later when we were still in Rome, and the only tickets were for late on our last afternoon, when we had already scheduled a "Small Group VIP Tour of the Vatican Museums" with Walks & Devour. I purchased these tickets, knowing that we could end up having another Walks & Devour Guide disappear/no-show leaving us to miss pretty much everything we had come to Rome to see. When I tried to cancel our VIP Vatican Museum Tour, I was told that we had already passed the refund window. When I explained what had happened, the customer service rep said there was nothing she could do. DO NOT BOOK ANY TOURS WITH WALKS & DEVOUR!!!!
