All was good but was overpriced for what it was. The tour company booked the tickets direct from coop culture for €35pp meaning we paid an additional €200 with the only extra thing being guided tour of the forum. I would advise just booking your own tickets. They also moved us from our 9am booking to 11:15 for ‘logistical optimisation’ reasons which messed our plans up a bit.

Our guide, Frederica, was amazing; however, we learned from the tour company via text the day prior that the tour would start an hour later. I contacted the “host”, who had texted us about the delay, about cancelling, as we had a reservation we could not change that would now overlap, but didn’t hear back so we had to leave the tour early. I guess I should consider myself lucky that we even got to see the Colosseum underground, as it seems from reading these reviews that they overbook and then “cancel” if they are over the limit that can be down there. We had 23 on our supposedly intimate group of no more than 8-10 per the description. I would say if you book this, be very flexible with your schedule that day as everyone is reporting delays and changes and also be prepared to possibly not see the underground portion.

Our Roman Forum party of the your was excellent but we had some problems with the transition to the Colosseum part of the tour. We waited 30 minutes for the tour guide here and thought the second guide was probably substituted in at the last minute. She certainly didn't have her head in the game. She spoke fast and at times unintelligible in spite of the fact that she knew a lot about the topic. That was a shame.
