We had a fairly small tour group which really worked out great. Our guide Daniel had expert knowledge of the Colosseum and the Forum. We had plenty of time to enjoy these amazing spaces!

Easy to find tour as per directions. Our guide “Maria” was amazing. Very informative, interesting and accommodating. We learned so much over the course of our time in the Forum and Colosseum. She engaged my teens and kept them interested, as well as looking out for my ageing mother in law. There were only my 5 family members and another couple in our group which made the tour more intimate and manageable. From start to finish this was well worth the time and money!

This was a fantastic tour. All our family loved it and we generally thought it was the best thing we did out of several wonderful things. Fascinating history. Jon was a top class guide, very knowledgeable and calm - while we saw a huge amount, nothing seemed rushed and he helped make this tour what it was

Guide has a lot of good information but was difficult to understand at times. A little more enthusiasm would have helped for a 3 hour tour.

Wow! Our family of four had an amazing experience at the colosseum with our tour guide, Serena. She was so knowledgeable and helpful, very patient and kind to our nine year old who wanted to sit down at times. She found quiet corners (which didn’t seem possible when you see the crowds!) to give us interesting bits of history and place what we were seeing in context. It was so interesting and made us feel smarter when we left, which takes a skillful teacher. We are grateful for the lifetime memories in Ancient Rome. Grazie Mille, Serena!

Perfect tour!
