Our guide, Hisam, was fantastic. Definitely a quick tour, but still felt thorough. With the July heat, we appreciated the 1.5 hour tour. I’m sure we could have spent more time in the Colosseum and the Forum, but we felt like we got amazing history and could get out of the heat while feeling like we saw what we wanted!
Our guide Lorenzo created an experience where we could appreciate and learn about the history of the colosseum and Roman forum. Warm, patient and friendly, he provided detailed descriptions that let us take in the beauty despite the large crowds.
Haitham was an excellent guide. Great way to see the sights, with a nice small group and avoid all the lines in the heat.
Maria Luisa was wonderful - very informative and accommodating
We had a great tour with Valerio! He was incredibly knowledgeable and was a great story teller. He helped the entire group feel truly immersed in the experience. Thank you for providing such a wonderful tour!
Andriy Was a great guide, very knowledgeable and his jokes sometimes made you forget how hot it was. He was very considerate and gave us breaks for water and bathroom. He made sure all were well and made sure you were able to take the best photos
Fabio (and Rufus) was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable and made it so fun. The day we went was miserably hot but Fabio made it with it to stay, highly recommend! Lots of walking and steep stairs
Excellent tour. Amazing guide!
Couple showed up 4 minutes late and were turned away in spite of fact that group had not left and equipment was still being given out. Unacceptable. Meeting location was not communicated well. They were there in another location. Tour guide was good and we enjoyed it. Price was too high for what it was.
We had a great time visiting Colosseum and the impressive old Roman ruins. Despite the very hot weather, Francesca made the tour very interesting and engaging, even our two teenagers enjoyed it! We utterly enjoyed the experience!
