Giuseppe was excellent.
Maya Thanks for providing Giuseppe Ferrari as our Rome guide. We found him open to suggestions, charming and very engaged. He was a mine of interesting information-all roads lead to a point in Rome! We would strongly recommend him to visitors interested in the history of the city in different eras. Thanks again. Paraic
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that Giuseppe provided such an enjoyable and informative experience. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another memorable tour in the future.

Wonderful tour
We had a great morning at the Colosseum. You have to see this to believe it. The tour was well organized and the guide is a genuinely attentive and well-informed lady. We relied on her and the support staff to make sure that everything goes well. We are certainly NOT disappointed. The cost was well worth it and compares well with other tours we researched.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great experience visiting the Colosseum and so glad to know that you felt everything was well organized and met your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again on another unforgettable tour! The Tour Travel & More Team

A wonderful day tour for an unforgettable trip
Our guide Guiseppe and our two drivers (we were a big group) arrived on time to our hotel to take us to the Colosseum. The transfer went very smooth and Guiseppe has our tickets ready for us, so we didn't have to think about anything other than our experience. He guided us efficiently into the Colosseum, giving us the best placement for photos. Once inside Guiseppe had us transfixed the entire time, telling us the history of the Colosseum, from it's beginnings to its use throughout the ages. After the Colosseum we went to see Palatine Hill and Forum Romana, with Guiseppe always remembering to keep us in the shade (it was a very hot day) and stopping for bathroom breaks. After a quick drive to the city center we stopped for lunch on Piazza Navona. The rest of the tour we were walking around the city, seeing the main attractions such as Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps, the Pantheon and much, much more. We had a lovely day with Guiseppe and our drivers and I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a good time with Giuseppe . We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you again for another memorable experience! The Tour Travel & More Team

Awesome
Omg!! What an amazing tour! We toured after flying in from NY..a bit jet lagged so can’t remember the name of the tour guide or driver ..both awesome!! We hit all the key points plus more. She even got us over to the Vatican and we saw the pope from the window. Added bonus! Tour is a bit expensive however worth it for the private transport and tour guide . Great way to see Rome pre cruise! Thank you!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words! The preservation of historical landmarks here is simply impressive! We're extremely glad you could enjoy that way with your guide. Please let us know if you need anything else.We are at your full disposal. Thank you once again for the incredible review. The Tour Travel & More Team

Amazing experience in the eternal city
We have just finished the tour ! It’s was wonderful. The driver was very very helpful through the tour with my elderly parents and he parked very close of the sights for us ! As for the guide ! WOW ! Her French was just perfect, she provided a lot of explanations, had pictures to illustrate how the monuments were in past vs now ! She was very easygoing and offered to take pictures of us. I never had a private tour before and I loved every minute of it. I strongly recommend your service.
Response from the operator: Michael! We appreciate your words. We are very glad your Private 4-Hour City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights was that way! Thank you very much for your confidence. The Tour Travel & More Team

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $194 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 Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 4 Hours City Tour of Colosseum and Rome Highlights 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.
