To flee.
Horrible experience with them. You have to come 15 minutes before and end up waiting 45 minutes because they are not organized! We haven't even seen the video... Much too expensive for what it is, we paid 90 euros while the tickets are 18 euros, and we had no advantages, no skipping the line at the Coliseums, obligatory to go there at 11:30, and not before!! I do not recommend at all.

Don't Use Them to Skip the Line- Go to Anyone else
We were scheduled for a guided tour which was canceled as a result of the guide not being able to make it. They offered us a self guided tour which was nothing more than a map and a 2 hour wait to skip the line! And they charged 33% more than anyone else! A waste of money. Go use someone else.
Response from the operator: Dear Barry, we are sorry to hear that the service did not fully meet your expectations. We take your feedback into careful consideration so that we won't make a mistake next time! In the meantime, please send us an email at info@touristation.it Touristation Team

I would not recommend boat or !
Rip off , the meeting place is not close to the coliseum and unless you live in Italy it’s hard for tourist to find , tourist don’t want to pay a taxi on top of the tickets.
Response from the operator: Dear Keith, We certainly understand your disappointment and apologize for the situation. However, your booking included not only the Colosseum tickets but also the Ancient Rome introductory video which is shown in our office and assistance up to the Roman Forum entrance. The information on how the package you purchased works is shown several times both on the product description and on your voucher with the precise address of our office and details on how to get there. Our office is located a 10-minute walk from the Colosseum and this information is also shown on the reservation, in order to provide all the necessary details for our customers to arrive comfortably and be welcomed and assisted.

I recommend everyone
Good video, very interesting, to see what the ancient roma was like and what it is like today. It would be better to watch the video before the visit to better understand the guided tour.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colosseum, Roman Forum and City Guided Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
