We were very satisfied with our tour. The instructions on the meeting place were very clear. The tour allowed us to quickly enter the Colosseum, bypassing the line. We were able to visit all the highlights without feeling rushed. Our two kids, 13 and 11 enjoyed it as well. We all learned a lot thanks to our guide! We would never have been able to learn as much in the sweltering heat. Thank you!
Visiting Rome in a heatwave, we were so happy we booked this early morning tour. We were easily guided through ticket check, security and were the among the first on to the arena floor. Our guide Valentina was charming and knowledgeable about the history of the colosseum. Highly recommend this tour.
We booked the tour for the colosseum and roman forum. Matteo was an excellent tour guide, giving us an insight into roman history and answering all our questions leaving no details behind. Recommended tour!
Mattheo the guide was fun and gave us a great overview of the history behind everything! Love that is a small group so you get a better experience and its easier moving around with the group
Marta led us on a great tour, providing us with lots of information on the Colosseum and the Forum. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and appreciated benefiting from Marta's depth of knowledge.
Visiting during a heatwave, I was so happy to have an early tour. The education began while waiting near the front of the line before the colosseum opened. We were even happier with how efficiently our very small group was able to move through the venue to take advantage of being among the first through the gates. Having the audio devices was great for listening to the guide while being able to take in the sights (rather than eyes on the guide to understand what he was saying). Our guide was exceptional and we referenced what we learned from him in every subsequent tour. We did leave at the end of the colosseum portion of the tour because my kid is sensitive to heat, but I wouldn’t want to have missed our guide (whose name I cannot recall days later and because we left early). I’d do it over again just the same.
Leonardo was a very knowledgeable guide, and he took time to answer questions.
We toured the Colosseum and the Forum with Andrada today and it was wonderful! Andrada was patient and kind and really open to answering all sorts of questions we posed about the fall of the Roman Empire and it was SO MUCH more than just a tour! All six of us in my family felt like we learned so much. Truly a once in a lifetime experience, made so much better by Andrada. I can’t imagine touring this place without someone as informed! Andrada helped us to survive the unbearable heat and was considerate and we just had the best time! Definitely 10/10.
This was the perfect first tour for our time in Italy. The sites we visited were breathtaking and the tour was exceptional based on our tour guide. Not only was Alexandra full of great information and fun facts, but she was incredibly accommodating. It was a very hot day and she made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. In addition, she truly got to know us and felt like a friend by the end of the tour. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide!
Serena was very knowledgeable and great to tour with. Would highly recommend. She is deep in her knowledge.
