Incredible!!! Massimus was the best!
Very talented and well informed. I learned a great many things I didn’t know. I strongly recommend Massimo as a guide. He was very well prepared and a pleasure as a guide
Olivia did a wonderful job with our tour. She was personable and very knowledgeable about particular insights of the history of the coliseum. She took extra efforts to educate us on our most interested aspects of ancient Rome. Everyone in our family truly enjoyed it. Highly recommended!!!
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. He gave details that were extremely cool and all the other tours were missing! We had a great time and his sense of humor was awesome.
Big Moma was amazing. She was thorough and so patient with our kids (9 and 11 year old boys). They asked her a ton of questions, and she made it very intriguing for them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Big Moma!
We did a small group with a maximum of 6. It was 3 couples. The guide was great even owing to take photos for us. She was very knowledgeable and charismatic.
Our guide, Stephanie was great. She was knowledgeable and friendly. She is a lifelong Roman and passionate about her city’s history. Despite the crazy temperatures, she did a great job keeping us in the shade as much as possible. We opted for the arena floor access and it was worth it! We really enjoyed our time.
Matteo was amazing. It was absolutely what we were looking for and with the crazy August heat wave, he gave us an amazing tour without feeling tortured. Very informative and engaging.
Selenia provided an engaging tour for our family of 6. We had just gotten into Rome from the U.S., and with temperatures in the upper 90s, her ability to interact with the kids (ranging 11-13) was incredible. Her exceptional knowledge of the history and art as we moved through the colosseum, roman forum and palatine hill was appreciated. Would absolutely do this tour again...and request Selenia! Grazie mille!
Our guide was fabulous. She used a book to show us what various parts of the Colosseum looked like when they were in use. She took the extra effort to explain certain areas while we were in the shade before bringing us out into the sun (there was a heat advisory in place). The tour itself was excellent, but her knowledge of restrooms with short lines and free water stations brought it to the next level. I would absolutely request her again.
