Fantastic! Highly recommend! - Everything was very well organized and on time. The group was not very big, about 10 people. Our guide Mircea Marciu is absolutely wonderful and professional. He gave us a lot of interesting information in an amusing way, not boring at all. He spoke very good English and answered all our questions.

Highly Recommend, excellent tour and tour guide - Mircea was an amazing and enthusiasts guide. His love for Roman history was clear and his ability to tell it through story was excellent. The 3 hours of the tour flew by! We saw all areas of the colosseum, including the arena floor, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Would highly recommend as we got to skip the huge line for Palatine Hill

Guided tour Roman Colosseum 10/10 - Excellent tour! Special mention for Elida that provided us with unique data and records on the history of civilization that has marked most of the development of our Western civilization, thanks for your charisma and didactic way of guiding us.

Great visit with Elida - Elida paid us a visit to the Coliseum with great affection and professionalism. We learned a lot and it got very short. Too bad they closed the Roman forum so soon.

Unhappy with this experience! - We had a real time maps app that did not account for a detour on the way near the Venetian palazzo. We left an hour to give ourselves time to arrive 15 prior to tour start. What was supposed to be a 27 minute walk TO the tour meet up, was 1&1/2 hours walk. I was in contact w/ the tour operator throughout using what’s app. Despite this we arrived at the office of the tour at 1:13 after multiple attempts for assistance, for what was supposed to be a 1p tour. The “ I love Italy rep “ said they could do nothing to accommodate us, no reschedule, no refund but to contact trip advisor, so… we’ve requested a REFUND from TripAdvisor, & although we are still awaiting a reply to our request, we had to pay an ADDITIONAL 100 euro for another tour of the colosseum, with a different company. After walking all that way and explaining the problem and frequent contact chain, no buon! VERY unhappy!
