Roman Forum Tours

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.

As with most tours, your tour guide makes or breaks the tour. Our guide (name started with a D- maybe Daniel or Dennis?) was fantastic! He was an archeologist and had broad knowledge about the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. He was able to answer all of the many questions he was asked. We ended up booking this tour at the last second because another tour company canceled our tour with Underground the day before (bummer!) but we were very glad we did this tour.

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!

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!

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.

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!

This was one of the best tours that we had on our Italy trip. Our guide Diego was very knowledgeable and fun. His enthusiasm for this history could be seen in the way he explained everything in the three different areas. When we were in the Colosseum, he made it fun by playing lion sounds in our headsets and a clip of the movie Gladiator to get the feel for the place. I definitely would recommend the guided tour.

Francesca was well informed, funny, and always smiling. She obviously loves her job, and was so much fun as a guide. We were running late and the tour company bent over backwards to allow us to join them and make us feel welcome. The tour was well paced, with lots of opportunities to take pictures and ask questions. She also had great visual aids, including her 'magic book' with all kinds of great pictures to help us envision the sites as they would have been. Overall a great tour. The only thing I would have liked is a smaller number group, but Francesca kept track of us all!
