You'll meet your guide for the interior of the Colosseum. Your guide will explain all about this magnificent amphitheatre, how it was designed and built and also about the bloody contests that were held there between gladiators and exotic beasts.
Once back outside the Colosseum you see the splendid Arch of Constantine and then take a short walk to the Forum, Ancient Rome’s main square and the hub of all activity, religious, political and social. Here there are the ruins of many wonderful buildings; of the Temple of Julius Caesar built over the spot where he was cremated, the Arch of Titus, the House of the Vestal Virgins, the Senate House and the Basilica of Mexentius to name a few.
You then proceed to Piazza Venezia with its famous white marble monument, Il Vittoriana, built in 1885 as a commemoration to King Victor Emmanuel II and lovingly called “The Wedding Cake” by the local population.
A short walk takes you to some of Rome’s other “must see” sights; the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, and the Pantheon. This is a great 4-hour tour to see the very best of Rome!

This was an excellent tour and a perfect introduction to Rome, especially for first-time visitors. Rome can be overwhelming because there is so much history and so many incredible sites to see, but this tour made everything easy and enjoyable. Our guide, Paola, was fantastic. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of Rome. She did a great job explaining the significance of everything we saw while keeping the tour engaging and fun. We covered a tremendous amount during the tour, including the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and many of Rome's iconic landmarks in the historic center. The private tour format allowed us to move at a comfortable pace and ask plenty of questions along the way. We felt like we saw and learned so much in just a few hours. One piece of advice for future travelers: be prepared to walk a lot! There is a significant amount of walking involved, but it's absolutely worth it to experience so much of this amazing city. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Paola as your guide, you're in great hands!
This was our first tour in Rome and it was wonderful. Our tour plan got a bit changed by the arrival of the King of England at the Colleseum, but our guide was able to keep us seeing so many great things to avoid the traffic from the Kings visit. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot about the city and monuments. This was a great experience and we can recommend it.
Tomasso was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. His profession as an archeologist was very helpful to bring the city to life. He made the tour very interesting for our kids and even recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch! I would highly suggest a private tour since all the kids questions were answered, we could focus longer in areas of interest AND was much easier to navigate the large crowds of tourist in the colosseum/forum area. Five stars all the way. Grazie Tomasso! Ciao!
Francesco is extremely knowledgeable and is able to navigate a four hour tour extremely well. It was surreal to see sights we had dreamed of visiting. An amazing guide who helped us enjoy some of the most magnificent sites of the world. Grazie millie!!!
Thomas was so knowledgeable and friendly. Very easy to understand. Meeting spot was fairly easy to find, but the address was a bit confusing. But he was standing out there with our name on a sign, with a big smile!
We struck gold with our guide and Roman archeologist, Tomasso! He was amazing and so knowledgeable about the city and ruins (past and present). He made it fun and interesting for the kids (ages 14-19) even recreating a gladiator battle (using dice). He was patient and flexible and even brought us to a great lunch place at the end of the tour. We were completely satisfied and all had fun! Highly recommend!
We have organized two private walking tour of Rome for business. Our guide Massimiliano has been amazing. All our guests loved him and his passionate way to explain things a lot!

Highly recommend Max & the private tour. He packed everything into 4 hours as we were pressed for time. He was knowledgeable and had illustrations to better explain the past & present. Had wonderful anecdotes and was very knowledgeable about the subjects presented. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Max. Definitely a highlight of our short stay in Rome!! We will return. Thank you Max!!!
Thank you Pamela for your amazing review! Glad to know you had a blast with Max! Hope to see you again in Rome!
Tomoso was an awesome host. He showed all the sights and had a lively and interesting way of presenting.
