Our family had a thoroughly brilliant afternoon touring these amazing sites in Rome, led by the brilliant Lorenzo who was an incredible font of knowledge regarding all the sites we visited, he answered all questions and had a great sense of humour. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

We had an amazing tour with Alessandro, who was a very experienced guide who welcomed us. He had a clear passion for being a tour guide and put all his energy in, he even had a book where we could see some illustration of how it would look like in the past. We spent a perfect amount of time in the Colosseum to see everything, and ended in the Forum. This was on my bucket list for years and thank you again for making it perfect.

Highly recommended tour. Our guide, Alessandra, was excelent - very knowledgable and qualified as well as passionate about the topic. She was also friendly and genuine and made this tour a great experience. In my view, it is worth it to pay a bit extra to have a smaller group (max 10 people).

This was a very in-depth tour that was informative and gave great photo opportunities around the Colosseum and atop Palatine Hill overlooking the Roman Forum. Tour guide was enjoyable, patient yet moved the group along in a timely fashion and was able to answer all questions.

A must do if you are in Rome. Our guide was Alessandra and she goes through every detail & answers any questions people have, you can really tell she loves the city history and wants to share her knowledge. She was also finding out where everyone in group was from and finding out names which was a nice touch, she made it a great experience for my first time in Rome.

Elizabeth was an excellent guide. The tour was informative and went at a good pace. We were on holiday with our 10 year old son who enjoyed it too and didn't get bored. Having a small group meant we were all able to keep together and not waiting for people to catch up.

Eni was literally a fountain of information about the history of the Colosseum and its environs. He is a an exemplary tour guide who has been continurally learning for the past 10 years. I can't imagine having a better guide. I am certain he told us things that nobody else would notice or know. We had enough time to stop and take photos; he was sensitive to the needs of everyone and answered all our questions.

Great tour and great guide Alessandro, total recommend. I am not usually a-guided-tour-person, I prefer to wonder around and explore by myself at my own pace. But I am very glad I took this tour, because otherwise I would miss a lot and wouldn't know which way to go, where to look and what exactly I am looking at. Being able to hear the stories and context behind the monuments, gave this visit another dimension. I've learned a lot and really enjoyed.

Lorenzo was extremely knowledgeable and personable as he walked us through history. We could really visualize the events of the past. Lorenzo did not rush through the tour, but gave us just the right amount of information to keep it interesting. Well worth the time!

Augustino was a fantastic tour guide! He was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, keeping us all entertained and at ease. The tour process was smooth and the headsets worked great. Loved the ease of getting around these 3 areas with guidance and minimal waiting. Would highly recommend this tour and guide!!
