We were a little late and the company waited for us at the meeting spot. Philipo was a very engaging and enthusiastic guide. We had a small group and the intimacy made for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for a lovely tour.
Excellent Tour!

Our tour guide Felicity (Fee) absolutely made our day—she was super knowledgeable, very enthusiastic, personable, attentive to our group’s needs and even offered to take photos at all scenic stops. She made the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tour fun and enjoyable—3 hours flew by! I highly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed this tour. Getting to see the Colosseum with someone that knows what they’re talking about was really helpful.
This is a must do tour in Rome.

This was the final tour of our trip to Rome and a great way to end it. The Colosseum speaks for itself to some extent. But, our guide, Daniel, who is a trained archaeologist, was terrific and provided some great historical perspective and architectural detail. And, skipping the lines at a usually busy attraction like the Colosseum is worth every penny. Also, while the Colosseum might seem like the main attraction, we all really enjoyed Daniel’s tour of Palatine Hill. He really brought it to life for us. And, it was easy to see how beautiful it must have been in the days of the Emperors. At the end of the tour, he left us to explore the rest of the Forum but not before providing excellent suggestions of what else to see in the Forum as well as the best routes to take. There is some moderate uphill walking to the top of Palatine Hill during the tour. But, unless there are mobility issues, I highly recommend this tour. Our family of 4 all had a great time.

Really glad that we booked this tour! We learned so much about the history and cultural context of the places. Paola our tour guide was fantastic. The tour also allowed us to skip the regular line at the Colosseum. Well organized, and made touring these places much easier.

Unfortunately I do not remember our guide’s name. Lady with no flag, used a book in her hand. She was the best guide ever. Engaging, interesting, showing pictures from the book. Fantastic stories about everything. I want to hire her for my personal guide through Rome. 5/5 stars
