This was a great, small group walking tour. It was informative and the tour guide was super friendly! I would definitely recommend this tour to any one wanting to experience the Colosseum & the Roman Forum. I would take it again.

I had a fantastic experience with our guide Azzurra. She is an archeologist and gave logical and succinct explanations of the vast amounts of Roman History necessary to understand these historical sites. I cannot recommend Azzurra more highly!

We went on a fantastic tour which was led by Eva who gave a very in depth and interesting insight to Ancient Rome. She was upbeat, enthusiastic, funny and made the tour a really enjoyable experience! She was always happy to answer any questions we had and made the whole tour extremely enjoyable. I can’t recommend doing this tour enough as we got to see the Colosseum and the Roman Forum with a guide who knew so much about the history. Thank you so much Eva!
Response from Host , Feb 2020

Our agency is full of professional, knowledgeable, fun and engaging tour guides ready to make you have a great time and leave the tour happy. That is our goal! We'll make sure Eva gets your feedback.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.Our guide Dennis was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable,making the tour very fun.Also as we were only a small group it felt more personal and it was easier to keep up with the tour.He even spent a bit of extra time to take our photograph in an ideal spot with the colleseum behind us.I would highly recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Rome.
Response from Host , Feb 2020
Thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure having you with us.Touring with Dennis it's always a synonymous of learning and having fun so we are glad you had a great experience with him. All our guides are willing to spend around some extra time in order to make the customers have an unforgettable experience of their trip. We all know how important it is to have a great picture of the Colosseo :)

We loved the tour, and especially loved our guide, Guilio, who is an archeologist and has worked at the coloseum!! The tour was engaging and entertaining and informational. Just perfect for us and our 11 year old. Fascinating. Loved skip the line access. A must-see. Ask for Guilio!!
