This was a great tour and the guild was really knowledgeable and learned where we were all from and tried to engage with us all. The colosseum was amazing and I feel like I spent more time in the places than I would if I was just buying a normal ticket and I came out feeling that I had a lot better experience for this. Only down point was I didn’t realise the hop on hop off ticket was only for one circuit and not actually hop on hop off

The guide did her best in trying circumstances. The Colosseum and forum were PACKED and it seemed much of the tour was taken with group control in a crowd- rushing us through.
We booked it because we were last minute and it was the only entry ticket we could find. We would have been better off on our own w an audio guide

Great guide (whose name I have forgotten sorry!) who provided a very comprehensive and informative tour of the Colosseum and the Roman forum area. We learnt a lot and because it was just myself and my husband we had plenty of opportunity to ask lots of questions. We were astonished to discover that our guide had visited a Roman site local to our home in the UK and got the feeling that he was a real expert. He suggested a couple of other sites to visit in Rome.
The only downside to the tour was that the instructions about the hop on off bus. We had a ticket from the previous day that got us to the Colosseum but the representative from Gray Line I Love Rome was doubtful that the bus staff would accept the ticket that I had downloaded on my phone and was unavailable to provide a paper voucher that would work. My husband and I then walked to the church suggested by our guide and then on to the Pantheon and then back to our hotel near the Trevi fountain - completing 8 miles during the day. Fortunately the very wet weather of the morning had passed and we walked in sunshine.
