Great Tour Guide. Finding the Tour Guide at the meeting place was a little tricky. He picked up the wrong flag that morning. The flag did not say The Tour Guy. So we asking people and tour guides where was the Tour Guy. We did find him and from that point the tour was great. He apologized for the flag mix up. During the tour we had one of the hardest rain storm I've ever been in and the man just kept on talking. All in all a Great Day

Other than some stress at the beginning finding the right tour guide - it was great after that. She really knew amazing things about the coliseum and the Roman Forum. Getting to see the floor of the arena as well as the upper parts was really great.

This tour showed us a different side of the Colosseum. The Gladiator gate is a must visit for anyone wanting to know more about the life of the Gladiators. Our tour guide (I apologize but I forget her name) was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable.

Took the Colosseum tour and it was like a college course on Roman history. Miquel was our guide/professor. He thoroughly educated us while taking time for all questions.
The check in process to meet your guide was a bit confusing. The girls checking in didn't have sign up til close to tour time. Fortunately one of them had a bag that had Tour Guy logo to let us know we were in correct location. Also crowded and need to be assure to be near lower level Metro. Both girls working check in appeared to be more consumed with texting than doing their job. That was only a minor annoyance, the tour was well worth the time and money.
Be aware very crowded, at least in April when we were there and not for anyone with mobility issues.
Good tour, but pretty basic

It was a good tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Although it's called "Special Access Colosseum Arena Floor Tour through the Gladiator's Gate", we did NOT go to the Arena floor. However, I don't feel like we missed out on much. The tour guide was knowledgeable, but I felt the tour was pretty basic. There were many times we were just standing around waiting. While other guides were telling about the history, our guide only gave basic details of what we were seeing. I don't think she wanted to be there.
