Excellent tour to take!
Our guide, Eddy was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, funny and really had a passion for sharing his knowledge. He was considerate of everyone’s needs and insured safety. The skip the line was definitely worth it. The tour itself was really more than I expected!!!

A very educational day of sight seeing
Our guide Ariana (Ari) was exceptionally well versed in the history of the colosseum and nearby ancient buildings and structures. The story she told was quite fascinating. She was very patient and had safety in mind first with the group of 25 tourists, for washroom breaks, drinking water, stairs, the sun and shade and the cobblestone pavements we walked on..
