THE WORST TOUR I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE!!! AVOID AT ALL COST!

THE WORST TOUR I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE!!! AVOID AT ALL COST! I have traveled in Europe for years and did not have any problem with any agency until this Get Italy Tour thing We were a family of 5 to see the colosseum, I paid €90 for each person! (because it was literally the last option on Get Your Guide but would had definitely been better just going early to the Colosseum and buy tiquets from agencies there) I put properly the names and last names of my family members on Get Your Guide, but the day of entering the Colosseum 3 out of the 5 tiquets had the tiquet names wrong!!! This means we could not enter the colosseum because the names in the passport and the tiquets must match We had booked at 8h30 and we had a train at 14h so the schedule was tight Sharjeel Siraj Khan, the person in charge, started to tell me 'It's not my problem' and then offered me another tiquets for 12h to €95!!! not my problem??? How can there be such a thing with no moral??? I tried to calm down because my family was there but I swear it God that me being alone I would had yelled at him all of this I calmed down, I wanted so bad that my family would enter the colosseum that I payed that thing bcs I found no other agency that could sell us tiquets before 13h at that moment (it was around 10h already, but if I would had started looking around 8h30 for the tiquets for sure it would had been okay) We had to walk until Idk where to get the new tiquets, with all my family and then come back, it was sunny, we were tired, my brother and I had to go to the hotel and grab our backs to go take the train right after the colosseum, we had to pay MORE to leave our baggage somewhere close to the colosseum and guess what this thing told me again??? 'It's not my problem' I think I have never been with so much anger and frustration of having to calm down just to not make it more stressful for my family but I am sure I will come back one day just to yell all of this loudly If you are reading this, trust me I will never forget your name and face with the anger I have

Awesome Tour!

Simona was a fantastic guide - super knowledgeable and willing to keep our 9 year old engaged and delighted even though she was the only kiddo on the tour!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review.

ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

How much does ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group cost?

+

Prices start at €32 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 ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group take?

+

Plan for about 1 hour 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 ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 13 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 ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 240 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group?

+

Around 5 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group 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 Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & 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.

What is included in ROME:Colosseum Express guide Tour - Private / small group?

+
