We had an absolute blast on the Rome: Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill 3-Hour Tour! Even with the summer heat, this ended up being one of those experiences we will never forget. Our guide was AMAZING! She was incredibly knowledgeable and somehow managed to keep everything moving at the perfect pace while still being thoughtful and making sure we understood the history behind what we were seeing. We learned SO much, but it never felt overwhelming or like we were sitting through a history lesson; she made everything interesting, engaging, and fun! We also had a few toddlers in our group who were understandably having a tough time with the summer heat, and we were so impressed with how our guide handled it. She was incredibly patient, caring, and accommodating while still keeping the tour moving for everyone. It really showed how much she cared about the entire group's experience. And the sights themselves? Absolutely breathtaking. Standing inside the Colosseum and walking through the Forum and Palatine Hill while learning about everything that happened there was surreal. There is truly nothing like seeing this history in person. Come prepared for the heat in August, wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of water, and DO THIS TOUR! It was the perfect mix of history, sightseeing, and fun and an absolute must-do when visiting Rome!
