Tutto ok, la visita prenotata è stata perfetta, sin dal check-in, effettuato senza nessun intoppo. L'organizzazione è stata impeccabile dall'inizio alla fine. ​Le informazioni condivise sono state chiare e precise, permettendoci di godere appieno della meraviglia del Colosseo, del Foro Romano e del Palatino senza lo stress delle lunghe attese o della confusione logistica. ​Un tour assolutamente consigliato a chi vuole scoprire la storia di Roma in totale relax e con la massima professionalità. Cinque stelle meritatissime!

We have tikets with the selected time entering at 15:00. I can say that even if we were a little stressed to arrive in time there ( we came srraihjt from the airport), we arrived way earlier and the staff told us the time is very light and to come back to the waiting line 10 minutes before 15:00. It was very easy and we enjoyed only the Colloseum, that standard bisit without underground or arena, but it was worth it even like this. I recomend it.

The Colosseum is breathtaking as soon as you step out of the metro! The impressive architecture, the underground levels, and the arena floor are all worth seeing. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are vast and magnificent—be sure to bring water, as there’s little shade and a lot of walking involved. The Mamertine Prison is disappointing: just two rooms and a few exhibits—we expected more. Still, it was a wonderful day exploring ancient Rome!

ROME, CAPUT MUNDI! I managed to snag tickets for the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Capitoline Hill, and the Mamertine Prison purely by luck (given the May 1st holiday weekend)—everything was organized perfectly. The ticket was a "skip-the-line" pass, so there was zero waiting time. Unfortunately, I couldn't find tickets for the Vatican Museums—what can I say? A great excuse to come back!!!

It was definitely all wonderful and fascinating. With this ticket, we didn’t have to wait in line (which are really long), but the address given for the meeting point at the Campidoglio wasn’t correct—we actually had to go directly to the prisons. The audio guide was definitely convenient, but the titles didn’t match those on the website; maybe we just weren’t very intuitive...

Straight in at alloted time, was quite busy, had a bit of confusion picking up the entry ticket prior from the Mamertine Prison as the "get directions" took us up to the Rome museum nearby. Apart from that the experience was amazing and the Roman Forum very interesting

    Visiting the Colosseum was truly an unforgettable experience. Walking through such an iconic place filled with centuries of history felt almost surreal. The экскурсия was incredibly well-organized, informative, and engaging from beginning to end. I especially appreciated how the guide brought ancient Rome to life with fascinating stories and details that made the entire experience even more magical. The atmosphere, the architecture, and the history combined created memories I will cherish forever. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome — it is an absolute must-see!

    It was cool to be able to see the prison. However, I was confused because the ticket details said both that you had to pick up the ticket at the Colosseum beforehand and that you had to use the QR code at the prison. The latter worked out, and that’s where I got my ticket for the Colosseum and the others. It was very interesting. You should know that you do a lot of walking. But there are water stations along the way where you can refill your bottle for free. I’d do it again!

    Everything went exactly as expected and as described in the app. Picking up the tickets went smoothly (although, unfortunately, the system at the ticket counter crashed for a few minutes). We arrived at 5 p.m. and had enough time to see the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill.

    In terms of value for money, the ticket to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum is pretty good. We had to go pick up our tickets at the Mamertine Prison, which was also included in the tour. But the Colosseum was definitely our favorite part.
