Paolo was amazing! We did a private tour with him where we toured the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and the Palatine. Paolo was very informative and answered every question we had for him, and then some. I would highly recommend booking with him if you are considering!
It was great! Super informational and our guide was amazing and helped us understand everything.
We highly recommend Pietro Paolo for a private tour of the Colosseum and the ruins of Ancient Rome and the Roman Forum. Not only did Pietro have an extremely deep understanding of the archaeology and history of Rome and these landmarks in particular, he was able to make their history come alive with fascinating stories, pictures, and important context that provided us with a whole new perspective. Pietro responded very knowledgeably to our wide ranging questions and was truly a pleasure to spend time with. Pietro is an excellent tour guide and will ensure you have the best possible experience!
Thank you for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Pietro Paolo. It’s wonderful to know that his knowledge, stories, and insights helped bring these landmarks to life for you. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable experience in Rome.
Pietro Paolo. Pietro, brought to life our experience of Rome, the Colesseum and Forum. Thoroughly enjoyed the time with Paolo, my wife and I were mesmerised by his in depth knowledge and support of pictures presented to us on the tour. He was keen to ensure all our questions were answered and reverted back to them if it was missed or further explanation was required. Our recommendation to you is not to join a big group as the tour guide ends up speaking to himself and you will miss out so much. If you can ask for Paolo!
Hi, thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the tour of Rome, the Colosseum, and the Forum with Paolo. It’s wonderful to know that his knowledge and attention to detail made your experience memorable. We also appreciate your recommendation regarding group size – it’s true that smaller groups make for a much more engaging and personal tour. Your feedback will certainly help other travelers make the most of their visit. We hope to welcome you back to Rome for another unforgettable experience soon! Warm regards, Kirba Tours
The Colleseum experience is spectacular. The guide was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Engaged my 12 year old son which made it enjoyable for him.

Pietro Paolo was an incredible guide. His knowledge of the Colosseum was expansive and he shared every possible detail he could. He had us interested the entire time we were with him. I highly recommend him!

Pietro Paolo is an outstanding guide! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, exceptionally accommodating, and customized the entire tour to suit our group’s needs. We were a group of eight—three kids and five adults—and he managed to keep everyone engaged throughout the experience. Unlike many other guides we saw at the Colosseum and Roman Forum, Pietro used visual aids on his iPad to show detailed reconstructions of what the sites looked like in ancient times. This made the history come alive and added so much depth to the tour. He’s a true expert in his field, and I’m confident our visit to the Colosseum, the Forum, and Palatine Hill wouldn’t have been nearly as impactful without his insight. I’m incredibly grateful for his service and would recommend him 100%. Without a doubt, we’ll hire him again when we return to Rome!

We’re proud to have him as part of our team and can’t wait to welcome you back to Rome for more unforgettable moments! Warm regards, Kirba Tours
Easily the best part of the tour was our guide, Enry. He was awesome. Very energetic and informative about everything Rome. The Colosseum itself is amazing to be in and see for yourself. We did the 5pm tour and it was perfect. Not too long, slightly less crowded, still plenty of daylight to see everything, photos all came out great. Would absolutely recommend this specific tour with Kirba tours and absolutely would recommend requesting Enry as your guide. Thanks for a wonderful Rome experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Enri made your tour memorable with his energy and knowledge of Rome. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences with Kirba Tours!
We use Kirba tours for all of our Rome guided tours for over 2 years now. Susanna who manages behind the scenes is available 24/7 and goes above and beyond to make us happy. We are a business that relies on exemplary native residents who have a passion for their work and Kirba Tours is exactly who we choose to work with. We highly recommended them for educational and cultural tours of Rome. We use them for the walking tour of Rome and the 1.5 hour Colosseum tour. Pietro Paolo keeps a good pace of explaining information while allowing our guests to ask questions and keep the tour moving. Since we have only used them in small groups of under 7 people we have only done private tours. We have worked with several other tour guides who treat people like a number. Kirba is different. They are like us, they go the extra mile and always add in something new. You won’t regret hiring them.
Thank you for your fantastic review! Our team is always dedicated to providing exceptional experiences, and it’s great to know our efforts are appreciated. We’re proud of our knowledgeable guides and our commitment to personalized, engaging tours. We’re glad our tours have met your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you and your guests on many more tours in the future. Thank you!
We had an incredible tour of the Colosseum with Pietro! We truly had the best experience. Pietro is a wealth of information and he made the history of the colosseum come alive for us. He was so patient and accommodating as we brought our two young daughters with us. They loved it as well! We hope to be back and will happily book any tour from Kirba Tours and Pietro!
Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Pietro's engaging storytelling and extensive knowledge brought the Colosseum's rich history to life for your family.
