Small Group Tours in Rome

This was a great tour. The guide was knowledgeable but it was rushed because of everything we were trying to see. I wish it was a bit longer and that we could have looked around more. The guide knew what she was talking about and she did a great job. I just wish it was a bit longer so that we could have seen more!!

Arena, Forum and Palatine Hill Guided Tour: We were lucky enough to have a small tour group of 8 people which made the experience more intimate and enjoyable. We were led by the wonderful Roberto who was amazing! He was very knowledgable, funny, interactive and passionate about his work. Roberto painted a picture of Ancient Rome and doing the tour gave us a much better understanding of the history of Rome and what we were looking at. The tour was around 3 hours long so definitely bring water and comfy shoes as there is lots of walking. Only slightly confusing part was at the very start while waiting at the meeting point as there was different tour groups all with the same coloured stickers so it wasn’t always clear which group we were meant to join.

I did not have an option to buy tickets directly for the day and time that I wanted to visit. The process was simple. Met at their office which it is located a few steps from the Vatican. We walked to the entrance, we were handed our tickets, and off we went on our own at our own pace. We loved it. Some people may want the guided tours.

Our tour guide was excellent, but the tour started late in part because we had to wait for microphones --which never came. So we waited in line to pick them up in the Vatican Museum. Consequently by the time we got to the Sistine Chapel is was pretty well packed. Perhaps that is typical for that time of day, but I didn't feel it was worth the extra money for early-bird entrance. Having said that, I want to say again that or guide was excellent.

Well well it is highly recommended to hire a guide as this is one of the magnificent and as we know, it is one of the wonders of the world and thus if you want to the deepest history and hidden facts about the colosseum then you should get this tour. We were fascinated by the structure, history and really enjoyed the tour.

Patrick was a superior guide who was able to keep our large group all together, even when 2 guests had mobility issues. He was funny, informative, patient, and it was the best tour I’ve ever had. I was skeptical about the headsets at first, but they turned out to be wildly useful.

The tour and guide were great and entertaining. The guide had a good knowledge of the three areas and helped us to avoid the crowds. The tour included the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and ended in the Forum, quite a bit of walking but it was interesting and well presented. The guide stopped us regularly to suggest photograph locations and for water stops... which was helpful.

This was the best tour we have had in Rome. We were unavoidably late to the meeeting point due to the Colusium changing the time. Nick was very good at getting us in to meet up with the rest of the group. He really went above and beyond to make sure we still made it. Lorenzo was a very knowledgeable guide. We had a very indepth experience. I will use them again for future tours.

The tour was great and walked through a lot of historical sites of Rome. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and explained in depth about various parts of the history of Rome + archeological sites and such. I would recommend this tour, very cool and informative!

We had a fantastic time!! Our guide Lumi was hilarious and we loved her humor. She was very informative and her pacing was awesome. She made sure that everyone got to stand in the shade or sit down when possible. We did the arena tour which was cool to be on the ground floor.

The tour exceeded expectations. Our tour guide, Lou, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She made the tour interesting and fun. It was good paced and covered a lot of ground. It was also reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this tour!

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 !

Too many too many people, but at least we skipped the worst row. They are well organized and there is a real need, but some patience is required anyway. the museums are beautiful, art and history and wonder ... just a pity that with so many people it becomes more difficult to enjoy them

Amazing, Damian is the best tour guide we have ever had, so very knowledge, his amazing story telling of the history of the Colosseum, was fabulous, every so often with humour which made the tour perfect, engaging with the group, just perfect, from the TALL man and short Italian woman with family in Calabria, very well done, big thank you… Ciao

I loved this trip! A very easy and fun way to get to Pompei and Vesuvius. We made stops for snacks and lunch (very affordable) too so we didn’t need to bring much. Our guides were cheerful, calm, and organized. I really appreciated the balance of sharing information on the bus and leaving silence for us to relax in.

Our guide was absolutely amazing, we will forever remember our tour in rome with our guide from Albania she was an absolute Lady. I highly suggest getting a guide as ours was so knowledgeable on the sites, and we met lovely people from the US and Australia, thank you from Ireland

We did the dome climb tour with Massimo as our guide, if you get Massimo too, you'll be sure to have an amazing tour! He was warm welcoming and very entertaining! And we learnt lots along the way too! There was a fair bit of queuing to get into St Peter's Badillica, but the views from the top of the dome (and inside the church) were definitely worth the wait. The Sistine Chapel is a must see too! Thank you Massimo for a fun and fascinating visit!

Unfortunately the week before our visit we received an email saying the Colosseum had oversold tickets to the underground area and so this was being cancelled. We were moved to another group and got a partial refund however we specifically booked this tour for the underground portion. That being said our guide was excellent and using headphones made it so much easier to get round the busy site. You can actually see much of the underground level from the arena floor and the guide did spend time talking about it.

Overall pretty good experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable but not very personable. Learned a lot but next time I don’t think I would do a 3 hour tour. Also it was hard to hear in the headset. We were given one headphone and not 2 and there was not volume adjust button. But overall not a bad experience.

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.
