Great tour. Looong! in summer but very informational.
Hi Jason, Thank you so much for the review. I am glad you enjoyed the tour and found it very informational. You are spot on, tackling the Colosseum and Roman Forum in the summer heat is definitely a marathon, but we are so glad the history and stories made the long walk worth your while. We really appreciate you choosing to explore Rome with our small group, and we hope you have a fantastic rest of your summer travels.
We booked this for our final tour during our family trip to Italy. Was really looking forward to the Colosseum. It didn’t disappoint. Alessia, our guide, explained everything well and at a great pace. It was pretty hot and she kept finding shade, which everyone appreciated. It is hard to take it all in - the architecture is impressive now - but would have been simply magnificent when built.
Hi Kevin, Thank you so much for choosing us for the grand finale of your family vacation in Italy. We are thrilled to hear that the Colosseum lived up to your expectations and that you enjoyed the incredible architecture. Alessia is wonderful at navigating the history while keeping everyone comfortable in the heat, so I will be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you again for exploring Rome with us, and we hope your family brought home some beautiful memories from the trip.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with JADA on our Rome day tour of the Colosseum and the Vatican! She was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. She explained the history in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way while still keeping the tour moving at a very reasonable pace. We felt like we got to see everything without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Her passion for Rome and its history truly showed. Highly recommend this tour and especially JADA as your guide if you want an unforgettable experience in Rome!
