Serena was amazing. She was a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. If you want to know everything about the Colosseum, she is perfect person . She was very attentive and kind to all of us .
I would highly recommend this trip. It was a last minute booking and we had to accommodate some changes for a family member, but it was no trouble. The afternoon of our trip it was during a biblical amount of rain, but despite the weather, Serena made it engaging and very informative and was accommodating of my sons aged 11 and 8. She had so much knowledge and it really brought it alive, especially with the overlay of pictures that others have mentioned. I really recommend this tour.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a meaningful and memorable visit to Rome’s most iconic sites.

Experience The private tour is truly the way to see this site. Serena was our guide she was extremely knowledgeable and the best guide we had here so far.
Serena was absolutely incredible to tour the colosseum and forum with. She was very thoughtful about our experience, answered all of our questions and was extremely knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience (except that we wish we booked more time and places!). Thank you Serena.
Smoother experience with a guide. Colosseum was quite crowded and hot, unfortunately. Still, it is a must-do in Rome.
Extremely informative! Serena was so well versed and was able to answer all of our questions! We learned so much about Ancient Rome and their traditions! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an informative intimate tour!
Our guide Christina was great. She gave a lot of information and was very friendly and easy to understand.
