We had the best tour guide, his name was Alessandro. He was really knowledgable and thorough. It was a great tour, really informative and interesting. Sadly some of the group members were in a rush to get around the colosseum, probably only interested in the skip the queue benefit to be able to say they had been there. What a shame they missed Alessandro’s expert tour. This tour is not for those in a rush, this tour is an in-depth one, fantastic for anyone with any interest in learning about the history of Rome, the colosseum, the forum and palatine hill. Alessandro kept us all engaged, adults and kids, at all times and answered many questions, nothing was too much for him. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour and would strongly urge anyone planning to book this tour to request a tour with Alessandro. If you are actually interested in spending time hearing about Rome’s history and not just taking selfies, this is the tour for you and he is the best tour guide out there!

really good, well organized. You see a huge amount of history in this tour, possibly the most interesting being the Palatine hill. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiast tic, and really brought things to life by involving members of the tour. The only thing thing stopping me giving it five stars was that it was so hot that we really wanted her to cut the stories just a little bit Be aware there is quite a lot of climbing steps involved. water is available on the way, but there can be long delays to wait for it due to queues.

We had a very knowledgeable guide - Alessandro - who quickly moved though some technical challenges to give us a very thorough commentary of the Forum, Palatine Hill and Colosseum. It was enjoyable but a lot to take in and left us all a bit overwhelmed and exhausted… better that than the alternative! Highly recommend but suggest making it the only activity that day .

It was great value for money. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to communicate the history vividly and enthusiastically so you could not help to be enthralled. I struggle with an issue in my back and neurological issues, the guide was patient and took that into account. Great value for money, great guide, would highly recommend!

Alessandro was such a fun guide! He was very cheeky and also very informative. He made it a fun experience despite the sweltering heat. It felt a bit rushed to do it all in 2.5 hours but he did a good job of showing us a lot in the time allotted. He even let us take a picture of his local favorites list for food in the city.

Our guide Alessandra was great! We loved her energy and she has a lot of knowledge. She made sure we were involved. Funny and sweet, we highly recommend you'd tour with her the colosseum. The weather was super hot though, we would've appreciated letting us rest in the shade a bit more. Anyways, was super good experience!

We had a great tour! Our guide Ginie, was so knowledgeable and shared fabulous stories which made the tour come alive. We were a large group but Ginie managed the size expertly and ensured we all felt included. Of course it was busy and hot at the Coliseum but we stopped often and left feeling well informed. A definite !

Our guide Laura, was amazing! She was very patient and kind with the group, specially seniors and kids, we loved her! She was very knowledgeable, passionate about what she was explaining and answered all our questions, skip the line and the guidance is totally worth it! Would book these guys again :)

I’ll never forget my first time seeing the Colosseum. Even though it was pouring rain, we enjoyed our tour with our guide Lou. Lou gave so much detail on Roman history and was very interactive and funny. I felt very welcomed by her and she did a great job. Would definitely choose this company again.

Thank you to our great guide and service. We were late and missed our group, but when we found the meeting spot they helped secure our tix and even escorted us to the entrance so we could enter and tour on our own. Felt like we got VIP service even though we were late!
