Our tour guide switched the itinerary for the day, starting with the Vatican, and ending with the Colosseum. We booked this excursion originally because it was described as doing the opposite itinerary, with minimal time at the Vatican we had no intentions of fighting the crowds on this time limited excursion so were not happy it was changed. The silver lining was at it was Wednesday so the Pope was holding a public mass in St. Peter's Square, so we had a positive experience because of this. Our guide took us to a hill top overlooking the city while the rest of the group went into the Vatican, and then we visited the rest of the sights with the group once we reconvened. The positives were that our guide was extremely helpful with assisting us at the Colosseum with online tickets and filling in time while waiting for the rest of the group. My wish for the future would be a stricter timeline for the group to follow, and to stick to planned itineraries.
I was excited to go on this excursion . It was expensive especially for four people and did not include tickets to the Colleueum and also Did not include visit inside the St.Peters in Vatican city. We had to pay additional $80 ( for 4 people) to go inside the colleusm . I later found out that the ticket had also included the Roma Forum which we did not visit. We waited for more than an hour to go inside thew colleusm. It wasn't worth the amount we paid for.
One of the best tours I've ever been on! Dani our guide was so nice and had such a great knowledge of all the sites we got to see. Got so much done in one day. Bus was excellent very comfortable and well air conditioned and brought us straight to and from the port to all the major sites. Would really recommend this tour if you want to pack loads of site seeing into one day. Also even though we got to see so many sites such as Colosseum, the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain etc the time spent at each sight wasn't rushed and had plenty of time to take it all in. Highly recommend and great value for money!
Our guide went above and beyond. Traffic was a nightmare with a race and parade scheduled the day of our visit. He still got us to every attraction on our list, knowing the back streets and work arounds. He never got flustered at all. He was so knowledgeable and even got one couple to a church they wanted to see. Thanks for the reserved tickets to the Colosseum--we went right to the head of the line!
Mikki was extremely knowledgeable. He gave so much interesting information. Basically the free shuttle drops you off at a port pick up place for tours and you meet your guide there. As soon as our party had all arrived, we left in a mini bus. Our guide made sure to let us know about safety and gave us comfort stops along the way. The tour was very informative and we left very satisfied. Were back to the ship in plenty of time. Don't forget to tip your guide and driver, they work hard!
