This and much more to discover and learn about during a pleasant but informative walking with our guides.

Fantastic tour of the Colosseum

Lara was an amazing guide. It was a very hot day, and she took great care of the group by making sure we all stayed together, hydrated, and doing all her talks in shaded areas. She also made sure we had time for pictures, and answering extra questions. She is also so knowledgeable, and explained the history so well, I learned a lot. Thank you for a memorable experience!

The Roman world comes to life!!

Such an amazing experience! Our guide Maxi was very knowledgeable and kept us on pace to see the entire Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colloseum with explanations, drawings, and historical context to help clarify what was going on in different eras and how weather, politics, and social upheaval changed this site and how it was used from Rome's origin to today.

10/10 no notes - book this tour for Roman history!

This is an incredibly executed tour. Our guide was an archeologist working on-site in the forum; it doesn’t get more authentic than that. She was knowledgeable, funny, and patient. Everything was fascinating.
