Very knowledgeable guide. It was a three hour tour and we saw all the high spots. Go early in the am as it gets hot later.

Nunzio was the best guide I have ever had for anything!
Nunzia was just amazing, very professional and kind. We loved the energy
Valerio was our guide and he was amazing with all group, ages, and backgrounds. We felt welcomed from start to end and his knowledge of the Colosseum and Rome was extensive but presented in a way that young, old, anyone could understand and relate as he used examples from modern references like movies and characters. Valerio is amazing, you’ll be well looked after!
