Best tour of our visit

I would book all my tours with Lina if we were going to be here more days. She shared so much information on the coliseum, arena floor and the forum. The history, the archeological finds and modern times. Having the small group tour made it easy to get plenty of time to view, listen and take pictures of this amazing part of Roman history. Lina made it a fantastic time.

We had the best tour this morning with Ala! I highly recommend the morning- it was a lot less busy and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Ala was super flexible with our group of two adults and two children- we explained our children’s short attention spans, and that we wished to do a more condensed, shorter version of the tour, and she stuck to highlights and kept the tour fun and interesting for our children. Best experience!!

Operator response

So glad to hear the morning timing and Ala’s thoughtful approach made everything flow just right for your family. Grazie for sharing such a lovely experience with us! Ala & The Eyes of Rome Team
