Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Kind.
Lara was incredibly knowledgeable, probably because she is actually an archeologist. A brutally hot day but she managed to keep us in the shade for most of it. Best way to see the Colesseum with the skip the line and the Gladiator stage.
Andi was a wonderful guide and very informative. He took care to make sure people were in the shade when possible, and able to fill water cans in the extreme heat. Would recommend this tour and hope you get Andi!
Absolutely worth it! Skip the line admission to all places was worth the money alone, but our guide was amazing!! Willie knew so much and was very good at saying things multiple times so you didn’t miss it! The tour was about 3 hours but you are constantly moving it didn’t feel horrible. Would recommend to anyone visiting!
