We recently took a tour through the Colosseum and over the Palatine Hill and are absolutely thrilled. The entire tour was super organized from start to finish, and the communication in advance also went smoothly and was absolutely reliable. A very special praise goes to our guide Gerard, he is a super nice guy and made the excursion a real highlight! He thought ahead incredibly well and, for example, even had umbrellas with him that served us perfectly as sun protection (which we ourselves, of course, hadn't thought of again). Gerhard possesses impressive expertise and was able to answer absolutely every question we asked in detail. He gave us super exciting insights, so it never got boring at any point. It was huge fun, was extremely entertaining, and was worth every single cent. Thank you very much, Gerard, for this unforgettable Rome experience! Clear recommendation!
Vielen herzlichen Dank, Justus, für diese großartige und ausführliche Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass euch die Tour so gut gefallen hat und dass Gerard den Besuch für euch zu einem besonderen Erlebnis machen konnte. Vielen Dank auch für die lieben Worte über die Organisation, die Kommunikation und natürlich die kleinen Details unterwegs. Es war uns eine große Freude, euch bei uns zu haben. Alles Gute euch beiden und hoffentlich bis zum nächsten Mal in Rom! Real Rome Tours
Excellent story teller, amazing historian. We all had a great time and the kids learned a lot. We enjoyed going inside and seeing from multiple levels. Our kids are well versed in the seven original hills and palace histories now!
Thank you very much Craig! So glad your family got so much out of the tour! I hope we will see you again on a future visit to Rome.
