Rea was an awesome guide! She really packed knowledge and a great sense of humor that made the tour fun. The heat was brutal but Rea made the experience so much fun and enriching! Would recommend to anyone wanting to hear about Roman history
Thank you, Daniel! Rea will be delighted to read this. Glad the heat didn't get in the way of a good tour — we hope to see you back in Rome!
Meeting was easy and Enie was very knowledgeable. He was mindful of our child and elders so kept the tour pace doable for special population. We really enjoyed the tour and learned a ton. We highly recommend!
Adjusting the pace for the little one and the grandparents is exactly what Eni watches for. Thank you, Yen, lovely to know it worked for everyone.
Realda was a wonderful guide through each venue. She was very knowledgable and had a really fun personality. Seeing these ancient sites, especially the Colosseum, was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Rome!
Realda has a lovely way about her and she knows those three sites intimately. Being a highlight of your trip is the best thing we could hear, thanks Lindsay.
We had an amazing tour with Eni! We had a group of 8 including 3 children (aged 7-10). Eni was fantastic and engaging. He did a great job of keeping the kids interested and engaged in the sites even on an extremely hot and sunny day. We all learned a tremendous amount about the sites. I would highly recommend this tour!
Keeping three kids interested across all three sites on a day that hot is no easy task. Eni will be happy to hear it, thanks Joseph.
The Colosseum might be the best known sight in Rome, and is a modern wonder of the world, so it was immediately on our list to see. Obviously that means that several tours would be available, and we took a lot of care in picking one. I think our guide for this tour might've been my favorite of our entire trip. He had a real zest for the storytelling and culture! The coolest part was just when we were walking up to our meeting point and the guide's coordinator looked at me and said, "Megan?!" I don't know how she knew it was me, but it was neat.
Being greeted by name before you'd even said hello is one of the perks of a small group, Megan. Thanks for taking the care to pick us, and for such a nice note about your guide.
Our tour guide was energetic and kept information to what was important and helpful She was good about keeping a good pace up for the tour
Keeping the pace comfortable while covering so much history is a skill every great guide strives for.
Thoroughly recommend this tour. Our guide was very professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating to the group needs. It was worth the extra money for the arena access. We received a confirmation WhatsApp text the day before, confirming time and meeting place, from the tour organizer, so we felt supported and confident before the tour commenced.
Arena access adds a completely different perspective, and it's great to hear the organization and communication stood out as well. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
This was the single best tour I have ever been on. Eni was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. We learned so much about the architecture and engineering of the structure and the life of the gladiators.
Being called the best tour of a lifetime is praise that any guide would be proud to receive. Eni will be thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed it.
This was an extensive tour with highly knowledgeable guide. He kept the group engaged, very enjoyable experience.
A knowledgeable guide and an engaged group are always the recipe for a memorable tour. Thank you for sharing your kind feedback with us.
Saed was the best guide! He was kind, thoughtful, funny, & very knowledgeable! He was very animated, enthusiastic, & loved to share the history of Rome with all of us! I give him a 10 out of 10!!!
Saed's enthusiasm is contagious, and he loves sharing the history of Rome with visitors. He'll be delighted to hear your kind words.
