Colosseum Semi-Private Tour with Gladiator’s Entrance & Arena Floor

Had an absolute blast on this tour! Giuseppe was a fantastic guide—his humor made the experience incredibly fun, and he really knows how to run a top-notch tour. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, seamlessly covering history through the ages while taking us to the best spots for scenic views and photos. A thoroughly positive and memorable experience!

We loved the tour and our guide but the confusion created by Carpe Diem before the tour we disliked. First we received information that our tour starting 9.30 was cancelled. We offered another different tour. We were offered a 15% payback. Which we still have not received. We accepted, our tour would start at 10.00. We again received an app from Carpe Diem that our tour would start at 10.30. Much to our surprise, on our way to the meeting point I received a call from from Carpe Diem. With the question , where are you? Your tour start at 10.00????

Headout managed to successfully turn around an initial bad impression. A few days before our tour of the Colosseum—which we had booked over a month earlier—we received a message from the operator, Doooing Experience, stating that the tour had been canceled. The only alternative they offered was the same tour in the afternoon, but in English instead of Spanish, which was not an acceptable solution. After several complaints to the operator, Doooing Experience, and Headout, I had to cancel the tour and rebook the same excursion with Headout for the afternoon, which Headout did offer in Spanish. I did so without being sure they would refund the canceled portion. Fortunately, the tour was excellent! It ended up being a private tour just for the four of us, with an exceptional Roman guide, Laura. Laura was impeccable; she guided us through the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Palatine Hill with absolute calm and dedication, explaining so many centuries of history with ease and conveying her love for Rome in a very pleasant way. She is definitely highly recommended. A few days later, the refund for the canceled tour arrived. So, despite the initial frustration and anxiety, Headout handled the situation well and more than made up for the initial bad impression.

On time. Great guide! She knew everything about the Colosseum and the Roman forum but most importantly she knew the little hidden secrets, how to make room through the crowd so we could take panoramic photos at the best spots, remind us to keep hydrated etc etc

The guide Bogdan was excellent. Worth it for this. Kept it interesting in the queues and had really great information all trip. Was great with my kids' (and my) questions. Audio guides just don't come close! This is not a cheap option but it is worth it.

Amanda was great. A long tour but didn't notice the time as Amanda made it so interesting. I had my elderly mother with me who walked with a stick and Amanda and the rest of the group were very understanding and helpful.
