    Easiest way to understand Roman history
    Deepa_S, Apr 2024
    Very informative tour. Our guide Daniel gave us a good flavor of the history and architecture. It takes about 3.5 hours so plan accordingly with good shoes. There are some places to fill your water bottle. The tour took us to special areas in the Roman forum and Colosseum which were not available in general tickets. The ability to skip the long lines is a blessing!

    Guide was great! Felicity took us through coliseum and Hill. She was interesting to listen gave great info and had our group interacting with each other. She knew all our names right away and our friends said that she was the best guide that they have ever had.

    Amazing Historical Tour
    RickandTerry, Sep 2023
    By far, one of the most informative tours ever. A great deal if walking and standing. We were given good time for breaks and the guide was passionate and knowledgeable on the history and structures. One of our favorite tours, highly recommended and will do it again!

    Our guide, Ivana, was very thorough, knowledgeable and pleasant. We learned so much, skipped long lines and got great photos. It’s a long walking tour- bring water.

    Excellent guide and really knowledgable. Fi gave us plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. Much longer than anticipated in the coliseum and the information on the forum and palantine hill was really interesting.

    With amazing guide Susana
    Lusine_M, Apr 2022
    Our tour went wonderful. Some tours tend to be boring but our guide Susana made it very interesting and at the same time super informative. Throughout the tour she made jokes and communicated with our group. She took us to important monuments and showed amazing places during the tour. At the end she showed the best gelato and tiramisu places. My daughters and I loved our tour and our guide! Thank you for everything dear Susana!
    Tour plus court que prévu mais vivant
    Julie_J, May 2023
    Bonne expérience avec notre guide, qui nous a bien expliqué l'histoire du Colisée. En revanche, arrivés à la colline Palpatine le tour a été plus expédié et nous avons terminé en 2h20 sans passer par le Forum Romain, alors qu'il était indiqué 3h, un peu déçus. Nous avions aussi pris ce tour car il se distinguait par le fait que nous avions 30min libre dans le Colisée pour prendre des photos mais la guide ne nous a pas laissé ce temps. Plutôt mitigés, les explications étaient très bien, mais nous sommes restés sur notre faim.
