Bogdan was amazing—having a private tour was the way to go. He focused on the subject areas that we were interested in and was extremely knowledgeable. He told us what was known and where archeologists had different view points. He took us to stops that we did not even know existed in our previous visit to the Forum and Palatine Hill.

Our group of 7 had a fabulous time on our tour of the Roman Ruins led by our exceptional guide Ellen. Ellen was so full of information, passion, and personality that it made the 3 hours go by too quickly. We could have spent another 3 hours touring with her. Highly recommend this tour.

We absolutely loved our tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and the folder she carried with the drawings of what the buildings from the past would have looked like was excellent. We would definitely take this tour again. Michael

Our guide was great. She was very knowledgeable about all the locations we went to. We even discussed the flowers, trees and plants growing in the area which was a great piece of knowledge to take away. Overall great experience. Would love to do it again.

My daughter and I had a wonderful private tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with Bogdan. His in-depth knowledge of the subjects and his enthusiasm made for an entertaining and informative tour. A special mention too to his calm and expert handling of a rather grumpy lift attendant at the Colosseum who for a very strange reason only known to herself initially refused to let us use the lift! Bogdan soon sorted this out for us! I would certainly recommend him for future tours.

I can’t say enough great things about our Private Colosseum Tour with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Fabrizio, our guide, was knowledgeable, kind, and so considerate of my 75-year-old mom who struggles with walking. He made sure we saw every highlight at an easy pace and shared fascinating insights along the way. Highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable, hassle-free experience!
