We did a morning tour with Mika which turned out to be a small group of 6 and we took a picturesque walk through palentine hill and the roman forum ending with a tour of the colosseum which was truly fascinating. Mika was lovely and educated us with his vast knowledge of Rome’s history. Would definitely recommend!

Unmissable Tour

We booked this tour on the web to avoid the queues - this an absolute must do. Nils was our guide for the Colosseum tour. He told the story of it's origins, building project and use as an entertainment hub. Nils delivery was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He engaged personally with everyone in our group and made it very enjoyable - even for a tourist trail sceptic like myself. Don't kid yourself that it's enough to walk or drive by this awesome structure. The very lovely Marianne then took us to the Palatine and Forum. This was an outdoor stroll of the ancient site on a beautiful sunny February day. Again the commentary on Roman history and culture was both informative and compelling. This young lady knew her stuff. Hugely enjoyable 2.5 hours, well worth the money.

Colosseum guide was good but not the Palatine Hill & Roman Forum

The guide who came for Palatine hill & Roman Forum gave us a theory class for Palatine hill from a mound n of Roman forum from Constantino’Arch he did not even came with us inside the Roman Forum. It was very difficult to see the temples that he was explaining from the arch he left us at the arch and we entered the Forum all alone by the time i reach inside i could barely remember any of the names. Had to stand to listen to the other Guides who were briefing their groups.

We took this tour to make sure we skipped the queue and to find out more about the coliseum and the Roman Forum. We had different guide for each attraction but they were both brilliant giving us so much information but with a smile on their faces which added to the whole experience. We would highly recommend this tour.
