We had Daniele V as our tour guide and he was great! We did a 3 hour tour starting at 10am. He easily guided us through and was very knowledgeable on all the stops. It went by quickly and we saw many great things along the way! We did the add on Basilica and we got to skip the lines and go straight in with our tour guide. Overall great experience! read more

Our Colosseum tour was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, it was an incredible experience and easily one of the highlights of our time in Rome. Our tour guide was fantastic--extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history. They brought the Colosseum and ancient Rome to life and made the entire tour both fun and fascinating. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. If you're visiting Rome, this tour is a MUST! Highly recommend! read more

Annalise was our tour guide for the Pantheon in Rome. She was absolutely amazing. Her English was easily understood. She told us lots of Pantheon history tidbits and it was so interesting. I would highly recommend this tour. read more

Crown Tours is one of the most popular providers for Colosseum tours on GetYour Guide, with almost 75,000 ratings and a 4.7-star average for the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour. The company is clearly much less beloved on Yelp, but my experience more than met my 4.7-star expectations. The Colosseum tour package starts at $45 a person for a basic English language tour with a large group. We went a few tiers up for a small group tour with arena floor access, and this cost us a little over $100 each, and included all tickets and fees. It was easily worth the money. The tour added a ton of value to our day of sightseeing. We met our guide Andrei at the Crown Tours office and got set up with handy audio sets, so we could hear him clearly throughout the tour. We were a small group, something like eight of us, and it was easy to get around together. The tour was around two-and-a-half hours long and entailed a good deal of walking, none of it was particularly difficult. We started at the Forum, then went to Palatine Hill, and ended at the Colosseum. A manageable, logical itinerary. Andrei was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour was deeply engaging and educational. What a treat to learn about the Colosseum while seated inside the arena. I gather from other reviews that not all guides are created equal, but we were very happy with Andrei. I can't speak to Crown's other offerings, but I'd highly recommend the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Guided Tour. It's a wonderful way to enjoy these marvels of ancient Rome. read more

Mateo was amazing! He kept the tour moving and active and had SOOO much knowledge. I couldn't believe how much he knew! It was incredible. I'm so glad my husband and I took this tour with Crown Tours. Thank you! read more

We had Giacomo for 2 different tours. Once with the Colosseum/Roman Forum tour, and once on the golf cart tour of the main attractions. Giacomo was amazing with accommodations, explaining the history, keeping everyone in as much shade from the sun as possible, and keeping the tour on track. We had a group of 10 people with one person using a walker, which was easily accommodated. Highly recommend crown tours and especially Giacomo as a tour guide. read more

It was an amazing tour. Our guide Sissi was very informative and kept us all together.

Guisseppe was a very clear and full of interesting details about the ruins. The trip is full of stairs, so do take the provided elevator if you are at all concerned, there will be other opportunities for exercise later in the trip. read more

Francesca is a wonderful guide! very knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions. I would give her a 5 but unfortunately the sites we visited were wonderful for the history but there was not much of a rest until the last 20 minutes of the tour and it was very hot. several steep hills to go up and down. we also thought this tour included the arena floor, we were very disappointed it did not. we purchased full arena access and only saw the small print showing underground not included when our guide gave us the ticket. Very deceptive and other people we spoke to had the same disappointment. Also, the WC by the vending machines - one didn't lock and at the cafeteria is not acceptable. It needs to be clean! But again, Francesca was lovely. i would recommend her. read more

Max was amazing!! Super knowledgeable and super entertaining. I really enjoyed the tour.

First s this is very inexpensive walking tour that lasted several hours.!We had a very knowledgeable tour guide however, she spoke very fast and she walked very fast. We thought she was gonna lose us. That was the downside of it... Plus the shitty earpieces they give you was almost impossible to hear her thank God I had brought one from my Viking cruise so I could hear the rest of the tour after I missed the first half... Either way, unbelievable mind blowing this whole Roma experience read more

10/10 experience! Our tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill was incredible, and our guide Mary made it even better. She was super informative, extremely knowledgeable, and answered every question our group had. She always made sure everyone stayed together and could hear and follow along comfortably. We learned so much history and got to see places we definitely would have missed exploring on our own. One of the best parts was that she also gave everyone a list of her favorite dining spots in multiple neighborhoods, not just the city center, which made the rest of our trip even better. Highly recommend this tour and especially Mary as a guide! read more

Tara was amazing! She knew so much about all of the history and it was such a great tour. Would recommend to anyone

Could not understand "English" tour guide. Ruined Vatican and the 100% guarantee is a 100% lie. They said there was nothing they could do. So there was no guarantee at all. DO NOT USE read more

We booked a 3 hour tour of Colisseum, Forum and Palantine Hill with Crown Tours via Viator. They are not a scam company as negative reviews say. Due to the insane crowds at these sights, the tours run on very exact schedules. They are very clear that you need to be on time and that you need proper ID. My negative experience was with our horrible guide (no idea of name as he didn't introduce himself). I think they must employ dozens of guides, if not more, and I get the feeling that the guides are independent operators and not vetted by the company. Your experience will vary widely depending on the guide you get. I would go with a smaller company next time where the guides are more closely vetted. Our tour with eight people was soooo boring. It felt like a school trip. We could not interact with guide or ask any questions. We were marched by sites with no time to read signs (and no info from guide). It was basically a three hour lecture on marble and concrete. We did not feel the lecture at all related to where we were. Our guide seemed knowledgeable, but he was terrible at organizing his thoughts / story telling. Our entire group was so bored. No smiles, no laughter. His accented English was very hard to understand, especially through the earpiece. One member of our group struggled with stairs, and the guide did not point her towards the lift. It was very insensitive. We looked out for her but the guide did not. No one in our group tipped. So..Crown Tours is fine and legit, but it's russian roulette as to quality of guide. We saw other Crown Tours groups with friendly and animated guides. Wish we were with them. What a waste of our time at Colisseum. read more

We were very disappointed with our experience. Our tour guide seemed very scatter-brained and the information he did give us, was far too specific and was repeated several times in one lecture which made us feel as though he knew less than what was advertised by the company. We were an hour into the tour before we even made it up the steps of the Colosseum. After 90 minutes we were one of two groups remaining (the tour started with 5 groups but three had already left mid-tour). We finally bowed out and proceeded exploring the Colosseum alone which was more enjoyable but we were left very disappointed and felt our money was wasted. read more

Avoid Crown Tours. This is the uber of tour guide companies. Very inconsistent experience between groups.

Max did a wonderful job doing our Colosseum tour. He answered all of our questions and took us to the best photo spots. This was the best experience we have had in Rome so far! read more

Booked through the app GetYourGuide, this tour was a group of about 25 for the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill. Met at the office just outside Colosseum. Radios given to hear tour guide. Guide spoke English. But radios used as separation can occur due to heavy traffic. Radio use is a little muffled. So, we stayed up front with the guide. Tour is very informative and our guide, Evis was outstanding. She answered questions and was very nice and patient with guests. Colosseum is amazing when you consider the age, history, and legends. Overall a great experience! read more

Enry was amazing. Best Tour I've ever had. Very knowledgeable and funny. I don't think the tour would have been the same without his guidance. read more

Great experience! Did the Colosseum Arena Twilight Tour with Max. Max was awesome! And takes amazing photos!!

VERY disappointing experience with this company! Booked tour 4 months in advance. Received an email and a phone call a couple days before our tour stating our time had changed because of their logistics?? I called back to confirm. We re-arranged our entire day to make THEIR new time. We showed at the new time and they told us and were told we missed our tour! They wouldn't put us into another tour or time slot for that day (it was our last day in Rome) VERY POOR COMMUNICATION! I DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

If i could give 0 stars i would, tourguide rushed through the crowd and left us, i called the agency 3 times but they said they has no way of reaching the guide, ridiculous, their excuse is that they hire freelancers, they ruined a potentially great part of a trip, would not reccomend read more
