I can't remember the name of the woman who was our guide, but she was an exceptional guide. A Mexican woman, I do remember, super nice, professional, and a lover of what she tells. She tells it in the best way I could imagine. With important facts and with threatening touches of humor. Perfect everything. A pleasure

“Fantastic Experience at the Colosseum with Claudia from Gladiator Tours!” Our tour of the Colosseum with Gladiator Tours was absolutely incredible, and our guide Claudia made it even more special. She was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging throughout the entire tour. Claudia brought the history of the Colosseum and ancient Rome to life with her storytelling, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. She answered all our questions and provided fascinating insights that went beyond the usual facts. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it’s clear she loves what she does. I highly recommend Gladiator Tours and especially Claudia for anyone visiting Rome. You won’t be disappointed!

This was our favorite tour in our two week adventure through Italy. The underground portion, as well as the Roman Forum and Palantine Hill, was worth the money. We got chills being at the lowest level. The Coliseum is so beautiful regardless, but our guide Julia was amazing. The tour was about 3 hours so give yourself extra time if you're booking other tours and plans, but we didn't mind at all because she gave us so much information. You can tell she loves the job!
