Francesco was incredible! - Francesco was the best guide we could’ve asked for. So passionate and knowledgable in guiding us around the beautiful sights of Rome and he really made the experience so much more memorable. Thank you Francesco you’re the GOAT x

Powerful, Informative and Well Thought Out Tour Guide - Amr Sonbol tour guide of Roma Colesseum was very knowledgeable, informative and interactive with our group. We were a group of 6 along with about 10 other people from all over. He spoke directly to everyone and made tour feel direct and personal/tailored to just you. Ask for AMR Sonbol as your guide and you’ll get the Royal Experience. Ashwan Rocks.

Enjoyed the tour - It was all surreal, to see something in person that you had only read about. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but the enthusiasm about her subject was what I loved. Driving around the next night, and seeing The Colosseum lit up made it even more beautiful. Thank you!

Hard on the feet! - Take your walking shoes! Well worth the extra to stand where the gladiators did, it’s always busy and I’d of like a little more time in some areas. The guide, bless her, was very knowledgeable but a little hard to understand. On the whole a long and interesting tour for the history buffs but we bailed out about 3/4s of the way through.

Disappointing - This was not an enjoyable experience as our guide had a very thick Italian accent and was rambling for most of the tour. Some of us even found other channels and guides to listen to. Not many facts shared except how many animals died. It was so crowded and hard to keep us all together. Next time we will do a self guided audio tour. Only nice part was we got to skip the line.

Do not book the company’s tour - Tour information provided by company’s voucher & ticket gave wrong meeting place address. We missed the tour due to their bad information.
