★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 260 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $84

Review of Rome’s Colosseum arena floor tour, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum, with practical advice on guides, walking, timing, and value.

“Our taxi never showed up and we arrived late, so we missed the tour. We know they waited for us, and are thankful for that, but the guide should have left the entrance tickets with the tour representative who was outside the colosseum. That was something doable and even if we were not going to have a guided tour, we would had been able to visit the place. On top of that, that representative was rude. We ended up buying tickets to see the place on our own.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 31 reviews · 2 hours · from $77

Review of Rome’s Palazzo Barberini guided tour, with Caravaggio, Bernini, Raphael, Baroque architecture, pricing, tips, and practical advice.

“The guide was quite good but the Caravaggio exhibition was a bit of a disappointment. Not much there as most of his good stuff is in churches. We didn’t expect a tour of the palazzo but I suppose since there wasn’t much in the exhibition they had to throw that in to fill in the time. I think the price was a total rip off. 178 £ for 2 😡”
