Bogdan was super knowledgeable of the history of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. He was amazing as a tour guide. The Colosseum was a bucket list trip for us and it did not disappoint. We will use the Tour Guy again and again!
Ask for Bogdan!

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.
