There are so many options for tours it can be overwhelming, however I already had the app downloaded from a previous tour, I booked this tour at 10:30am on the same day as we found ourself at a loose end. My mum and I did the 11:30am - 2:30pm tour on Sunday. Our guide Diana, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. For something that can be so incomprehensible (to me!) Diana was excellent at explaining the incomprehensible with additional books and images! Diana did not rush and we went at our groups’ pace which I thought was nice. Would definitely recommend a bottle of water. I would use this company to book again!

Loved this tour, our guide Francesco was very knowledgable and friendly, he gave us a good overview of the history of the colosseum, the forum and the politics of ancient Rome without leaving us overloaded with information. Joining instructions were simple and it was well organised. Only downside was the tour size of 10 was exceeded (13 were on the tour rather then the 10 advertised), and the guides were freelancers rather then employees of the company. We still had a wonderful time and would do this tour again!

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.

Booked a tour of the coliseum in Rome for 6 of us. Our tour guide was a lady called Alessandra. She was one in of the best tour guides I’ve ever experienced. She is very passionate about the Roman history, so animated, informative and gets everyone involved. We all really enjoyed it. Thank you Alessandra!

Highly educational, very thorough accounting of history. We realize that when traveling to other countries it can be difficult if not impossible to find native English speakers, but the accent of this particular guide was so strong it was very difficult to understand her English. She was otherwise brilliant and clearly lives for this history and archaeology, but it was hard to follow her.

The tour was amazing! Our guide Luene was so knowledgeable and also an amazing and kind person. I'm a solo traveler, and she always asked me if I wanted a picture somewhere. That was an admirable attitude of her. I appreciate it. We visited nice places, just as the description says. No negative points, I love it.

The tour was really good and Stefano, our guide, was personable and very knowledgeable. The headset radios were not great and the sound kept breaking up. It was also a shame there was no option for the earring impaired available. The tour ran smoothly except one incident at the entrance to the Colosseum where it appeared there was a discrepancy between number of adult and concession tickets that had been purchased. After about 15 mins this was sorted and unfortunately one person had to leave the tour so be sure to check you have correct details in the booking. One other niggle was that we had booked for a tour of 20 but in reality there were 30 on the tour. It was more expensive to book the smaller tour so I felt a little cheated when place in the larger tour group.

Amazing tour!! Our tour guide, Magda was excellent!! She was very knowledgeable and the way she explained everything truly brought us back to the Roman times. There’s so much history it can be overwhelming, but Magda knew how to hit all the major points and gave us a in-depth explanation which made learning about the Colosseum very fascinating. We were a group of 10 and it was the perfect size for this tour.

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.

An amazing tour, definitely worth seeing these sites with a guide to get the best experience. The knowledge and interactivity of our guide Yuri helped make the experience much more memorable! The Colosseum really was the main event however the Forums and Palatine Hill were just as interesting and beautiful.

Our guide was Lorenzo, very knowledgeable guide, took us almost 4 hours on his wonderful tour around archeology area, palatine hill and colosseum. This was perfect tour to meet and understand this part of Rome and get to know a lot about history. Highly recommended for visitors

Dennis was our tour guide and he was awesome! Very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Accommodated to the group’s needs throughout the tour. He knew a lot of the history and made visiting the Roman Forum / Palatine Hill / Coliseum much more enjoyable and meaningful. He also mentioned that he is an archaeologist which is really cool!

Fantastic guide, Scott, who was very knowledgeable and excited to share it which made for a pleasurable tour. Seeing the underground was a treat as well as the second level. The tour was lengthy but it was at a nice pace and the guide took breaks and made sure we had water. We highly recommend this tour.

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.

This was a fantastic tour! The tour guide (Luanna, from Albania) was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the tour and happy to answer any questions. She started off by introducing herself and a little about her background before asking each member of the group (20 of us), which country we were from and little about us to get to know us. She then referred to each of us personally throughout which made the experience much more enjoyable. Luanna explained everything with memorable stories and allowed everyone to take pictures, allowing the group to take the time they needed to explore the surroundings and take in all the history. We paid around €35 each and it was worth every cent. The history of the Roman Forum was incredible and the Colosseum, at times, was sobering - to visualise all that happened in the arena and the underground tunnels, all those years ago. I highly recommend this tour, definitely worth doing at least once!

We had Louana (not sure if I've spelt that right). She was lovely and had a good sense of humour. The tour was great - the highlight of my trip to Rome (though the night tour the previous day was fab, too). Lou gave us lots of good info and the handy in-ear earphone was useful because you could hear her clearly and turn her up or down! Fascinating tour - we really enjoyed it. There was a lot of walking, so wear flat comfies!

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!

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).

Overall we were pleased with the quality and knowledge of our guides. The places we visited were outstanding and we asked lots of questions! Luca in paticular managed a difficuly portion of the tour in pouring rain. He was awesome. Aside from the rain, my feedback is more about a few confusing aspects. Our itinerary was in reverse order than advertized and we bagan our tour outside covering Palatine Hill and the Forum and then on to the Colosseum where another guide took us to the underground portion and arena floor. After that we expected an above ground tour and that didnt happen, we were left to explore that on our own. Not a huge deal but i didnt feel as if i understood that aspect. Overall a good experience with excellent guides.
