Colosseum Tour with Fabrizo - We had the honor and privilege of having Fabrizo as pur guide for this tour!! His knowledge made our experience that much more enjoyable, There was no question that he could not answer for us when it came to our curious minds. If I ever find myself in Rome again, I will be requesting him for a tour if possible!!!

Fabrizio Made the Experience Unforgettable - Fabrizio was the best! From start to finish it was nothing short of amazing! He was very detailed with every piece of information throughout the tour and was extremely informative, more than I could ever imagine! He allowed us to ask as many questions as possible, and always had an answer. This will be an unforgettable experience!

Fun way to see the Colosseum - Such an awesome tour! Our guide, Dennis, was not only super informative but also kept things fun. We learned a ton of new things and going towards the end of the day was a great way to beat the crowds (and heat!). Would definitely recommend.

Riveting Ribal - Ribal was absolutely brilliant and engaging. His wealth of knowledge and insight was second to none. Ribal is the absolute best and was able to intersperse humor with a plethora of information. He gracefully managed various ages in our family and that was no small feat. Bravo a million times!

Best tour guide Fabricio - Fabrizio was the best guide we have had on our tours. His education at the university for archeology was excellent for the tour. He explained all the history of the colosseum, Palatine Hill and the forum in precise details. The fact that he was involved in excavations there and was able to explain the layers was impressive. He took the time to answer all questions with very thoughtful answers. We enjoyed our visit with him. We left with so much knowledge of Roman Culture and history and its impact on the world in the past and even today. Thank you Fabrizio for going well beyond and making it a memorable experience. We looked for the white square colosseum in our way to airport. It was impressive. We hope to see you the next time we come to Rome!

Book this tour - amazing! - Wonderful tour! Our guide, Caterina, was very knowledgeable, passionate and very kind. She made the experience that much better. Being on the arena floor was incredible and touring the Roman Forum with Caterina as our guide was such a cool experience. We took some of the best photos on our trip. We ended the tour with a rooftop Aperitif with amazing views. Highly recommend. 5+ stars.
