The tour guide's introduction is vivid and clear, the itinerary is well arranged, and there is enough time for photography. However, the receiving range of the earphones is slightly short, and sometimes it cannot be received when blocked by crowds of people.

Very well spent money for a small group guided tour! There were 12 of us and our guide was Egli! She was very approachable, informative and knowledge about Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. We covered the first 2 floors of Colosseum, no Arena or underground. The 3 hours was just nice and we walked about 8k that morning alone. Wear good and comfortable shoes!

This experience is your window to Rome. The bus will take you to the iconic places. You can hop off whenever you feel like and hop back in to get to another destinations. The bus is clean and comfortable. Our experience was awesome with Rome Big Bus.

This experience was great. Vlad was very knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. You will appreciate Rome more as this tour will help you understand Rome’s rich history and culture. I highly recommend this tour. The meeting area was a bonus as it has plenty of restaurants and shops where you can explore prior to commencing your tour.

Our tour guide spoke different languages, very impressive. Italian, Spanish, French and English. In Naples, must try Margherita pizza, gelato and Lemon Ice.

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights
Colosseum
Explore the grandeur of the Colosseum, where ancient gladiators once battled. Don't miss the underground area, the Hypogeum, for a deeper dive into its history.
Colosseum Outer Wall
Your experience begins before you ever set foot inside: the first sight of the Colosseum is always special. The crumbling ruin of the south side gives way to the imperious magnificence of the stunning north side. The ornate structure is 57 metres tall, built using travertine marble sourced from quarries around Italy.
The Second Floor
See the arena from above as you walk around the amphitheater. The second floor of the Colosseum would have been reserved for the wealthiest, most important members of Ancient Roman society. Marvel at the sheer size of the structure, the ornate stonework, and the general sense of greatness.
Culture and History
The Colosseum is a testament to the grandeur of Ancient Rome. Construction began under Vespasian in AD 70-72 and was completed in AD 80 by his son Titus. It hosted gladiatorial games, wild animal hunts, and even naval battles. The rise of Christianity led to the decline of these games, with the last gladiatorial fight taking place in AD 404. Despite damage from earthquakes and looting, the Colosseum remains a symbol of Rome's enduring legacy.
Local Cuisine
While visiting the Colosseum, indulge in Rome's culinary delights. Must-try dishes include pasta carbonara, cacio e pepe, and Roman-style pizza. Nearby trattorias and cafes offer a taste of authentic Roman flavors that will make your visit even more memorable.
