Wonderful tour! - My husband and I did this tour with our middle-school aged kids and we all loved it! Our guide Mido was a true professional: able to share his knowledge about the sites with enthusiasm and humor. At the end, I couldn’t believe 3 hours had passed. This was a wonderful way to see the ancient ruins and the colosseum while learning a lot of history. Highly recommend!

Super Coliseum and Forum experience - Our guide, Christina, did an excellent job. We saw everything we’d hoped to and more! We were in Rome 20 years ago, and only got to see the Coliseum from the outside because it was closed. This time our tour gave us a full experience - it was awesome

Enjoyable tour - Informative tour covering the colosseum and parts of the Roman Forum. Speedy entry into both avoiding extensive queues. Free time for photos in key spots. Our guide clearly had a passion for the history of the place. We enjoyed it.

Not worth it - A little unorganized. Hard to follow what the guide was saying and to stay engaged with them. They knew their stuff but struggled explaining it.
