This was a very well led tour with great information and a fabulous guide. It was an amazing experience to see this much ancient history in one area. Truly one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced.
They totally stood us up at the location. Ruined our entire day! They did refund us immediately but we were stuck walking around aimlessly. You need reliability when booking these tours. So when they say “book risk free” it’s false advertising - bc they canceling on u last minute is a huge risk when you have limited time on a vacation!
Dear customer we are sorry about this issue but let us explain that 1) you were informed a couple of days before via mail that the tour guide was not available and we offered you alternatives for the tour, but you never replied us 2) we are sorry we can’t proof here the message and the certificate of the guide was sick 3) in the peek of high season it seems difficult to find other tour guide available We are sorry about that but we will try to improve our service moving by this review Grazie mille Dario Tossio
Pricilla our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge in many areas beyond just the coliseum. She was personable, gregarious and very fun. Also, was willing to answer our questions and share her stories with us. She also knew every shaded spot on the tour which was a plus. Truly, the best tour I have ever been on.
We are a fifth grader from a primary school in Empoli. It was a wonderful experience. Top organization, very nice guides who explained in a simple way. Highly recommended. It was a wonderful experience and Rome is wonderful
We had the pleasure of being accompanied, on our visit to the Colosseum and the Imperial Forums, by the guide Alberto Riccardi, who managed to fully involve our class, answering all our questions and making us retrace the whole story in great depth. imperial. Very recommended.
Ciao Maria Cristina, è stato un piacere accompagnare voi ed i vostri studenti alla scoperta delle bellezze di Roma. Vi aspettiamo presto!
A truly positive experience, thanks to the professionalism of the entire working group and the preparation of Alberto, our guide! He was able to arouse the interest of an entire class (no easy task!) for the entire duration of the tour, with interesting explanations and never banal answers. Highly recommended!
Grazie mille prof Elisa! E' stato un piacere rendere "grossa" la vostra esperienza. A presto!
Good evening, what can we say about these unique beauties in the world... there are no adjectives to define them, we were amazed. The guide was fantastic, kind, attentive...he made you imagine and relive the story, really good, I personally told him that the cost of the guided tour for what we saw is what left us...it was Bass. I expressly recommend you do any guided tour with this agency. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience...

Grazie mille per la vostra recensione. Siamo contenti che abbiate passato un bel pomeriggio con noi Vi aspettiamo presto per nuove visite guidate!
We were suppose to receive a refund since we did not go on a private tour and had to go with a group tour. We were told that 250euros would be credited back to our card. That still hasn’t happened.
A wonderful experience, the guide Antonella is very knowledgeable and made the visit very exciting. Highly recommended
