Guide was knowledgeable & interesting. Took us through many different areas, but unfortunately he went so fast we felt like we were running & not enjoying the experience. I would rather pay for more time.!?
We asked him 3 times about using the restroom & he assured us it was coming “in a few minutes “. It didn’t. About 70 minutes in he finally showed us the toilets.( It was becoming an urgent matter for one member who was older). Later he said we walked by & he decided (without talking to anyone in our total group of 7) that he thought the line was too long. Very unfortunate ☹️😬. He was also sick (cough & runny nose)). He kept saying it was asthma….but it wasn’t. My daughter & I both have asthma. Not bad but wouldn’t recommend.

Tour is essential for visiting colosseum. Even in November there are significant crowds. Cutting right through all of that was great. Seeing the colosseum from every angle. Climbing the Palatine hill and then descending into the forum is awe inspiring. Our guide Sarah was such a wealth of knowledge and she did a great job helping us visualize what the ruins looked like in their day. Totally worth every penny
Had a great time :)

Eddy was a fantastic knowlegable guide. He made the tour fun by the way he explained things. He didn't just give you the facts. He was also helpful with any questions about Rome in general. I had a great time!

Eddy was our small group tour guide for the Colosseum and the Forum. As a student of archeology, Eddy was masterful in describing the events that captivated audiences in the Colosseum thousands of years ago. He made the Colosseum come alive again, as well as the Forum. He also managed to dispel many of the Hollywood myths about the gladiators and the emperors, and the battles that took place. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and left with a much deeper understanding of a tiny iece of Roman history. I would highly recommend this tour, and this tour guide.

This was the most valuable and informative tours! Our guide was such a pleasure to be with and she was a great walking encyclopaedia ! There was nothing that she couldn’t answer. I will actively recommend your company to friends, especially my friend who is a travel agent!

The guide was exceptional, she took the time to explain each site, the history of it, and why it was significant at the time. She explained how the sites had been damaged and reconstructed, what was original, and what had been fixed. Highly recommend this tour

Stefano (or Steve, for Americans) was the absolute best! He was knowledgeable, passionate, and so entertaining that I wish we could have toured the whole city with him as our personal guide. Oh, and I highly recommend booking the tour with access to the arena floor - my husband loved it. Special thanks to The Tour Guy for keeping the group small! We look forward to booking through TTG again.
Another great experience

Frederico was a great guide and provided us with so many interesting stories and facts about the Coliseum and Forum areas as well as the history of Italy in such vivid color. We would gladly use him again. This was our second tour in as many days and whole hearted ly would recommend this tour and Frederico . Both experiences were delivered as promised.
