It was amazing. Our guide was very informative, interactive and present! He paid attention to every person in the tour an made sure we all understood what he was explaining about the history. I would 100% recommend! Sadly I don't remember his name. He only does one tour a day to give his best an he did for sure!
Must see experience. Our guide was great, super informative, and the tour group gave perfect directions. The audio headset was a fantastic experience. Saw other groups having to yell, whereas we were all set. Could have spent mire time at the colosseum, but I think that was limited to get people in snd out, so I don’t blame the guide. Overall - super great and ai would definitely do it again.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with our guide, Lydia. She was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. She really seemed to love what she does. The tour was a little rushed, but there was a lot to see AND we were free to explore on our own afterward. This was a great tour.
Very knowledgeable tour guide. He was awesome!! Friendly with guests and friendly. Just seemed like a great guy.
