Our PHD Tour Guide was knowldgeable in art history. She was a professional tour guide but she was very informative, friendly and energetic and took the time to answer our questions. She was definitely a cut above our experience booking through the Vatican with their tour guides. While that was inexpensive compared to this tour experience, the cheaper guides are jaded and go through the motions. So while I hesitated at first at the price, you get what you pay for. This tour guide was excellent and we all enjoyed the tour.
Excellent tour by such a knowledgeable guide. We really appreciated all of the information and insight throughout. We learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves. Sorry we were so exhausted as it was our first day in Rome and still had jet lag. Thank you.
This Private tour (just my husband & myself) with Alexandra, a PhD historian/archeologist, was one of the very best we’ve done over the years. Her knowledge, outgoing personality and attentiveness to our desires as we toured were exceptional! We learned even more than we did on our last tour of the colosseum two years ago, which was with a small group of 6. It was well worth the money! If you are financially able to do a private one on one tour, don’t hesitate!!
Skip-the-Line Guided Group Tour of Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill - Tripmasters - Tuesday, March 5, 2024 Another awesome tour provided by Tripmasters. First, it's a pleasure to have a "local" who has studied Roman history & is passionate about it leading our Tour. With that said, the complete tour was INCREDIBLE. As moved thru the different stops, I could feel myself being transported back to Roman times! She did an excellent job finding the "good spots" to view the monuments & also take pictures. She was pleasant, fun & patient was the group. HIGHLY RECOMMEMD! A+++++++++
We met our guide Donato,outside the colleseum. Donato made an immediate impression with his warm welcoming personality.Before entering the colleseum,he made sure we had an understanding of the history and significance of the site and sourroundings. Once inside his knowledge,attention to detail,interesting anecdotes and obvious enthuasiasm,made our tour an unforgettable experience-we felt like we were back in ancient Roman times ! His explanations of this complex monument made our visit so enjoyable.-we never felt that we were part of a 'standard scripted tour',but instead on a wonderful journey of discovery. It was the same experience for the Forum and PalatineHill.We were very invigorated at the end,had gained a much better understanding and appreciation of Ancient Rome-all thanks to an exceptional tour guide.Donato didnt just give us a tour-he gave us an unforgetable experience.We give Donato the highest recommendation,for anyone wishing for a memorable experience of these amazing monuments. - Pat & Joseph,Dublin,Ireland.
