Radu + rome 🫶 - RADU WAS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE! we’ve been traveling 2 months in Europe and I can genuinely say he was the most entertaining, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide we have had, bringing to life the history of the Roman forum and colosseum. If we could give him alone a 1000/10 review we would, he is an icon, and to add the incredible scenery and history of this part of rome. A true gem.

History in the making with extra effort - It rained most of the time so come prepared! Lots & lots & lots of walking. Steps to go up to higher levels within Colosseum are crazy steep!!! It was very hard for me. Wish I’d known I could have taken an elevator! I’m late 70’s & pretty good health but it was tough!
