Great tour of the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill - Ken was a great tour guide. He has a ton of historical knowledge that he freely shared with us, and the book he used to show us what things used to look like was really helpful.

Easy check-in, fantastic guides, great tour - Our tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Marco, made the history come to life. He was clearly passionate about the history and told great stories. Crown tours itself was also great. Provided headsets to easily hear the guide. We were able to skip many of the lines and see the best spots. Check-in process was very easy. I highly recommend!

Excellent tour - We had the most amazing tour with a lady whose name i unfortunately forgot to make a note of, all I can remember is that it began with O and the lady used to be a teacher! This guide was brilliant and the breadth of her knowledge was astounding. The tour was long, around 3 hours but it was so worth it. Thoroughly enjoyable, informative and entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

Great tour guide made a great experience even better. - Sadly I forgot the gentleman’s name , but our tour guide was super cool and super knowledgeable. He said he’d been doing tours for 12 years or so. Out of all the guided tours we took in Italy , this was my favorite , and it was probably because the guide was so good. He had curly blonde hair annd a pony tail and was maybe in his mid 40s. I just want him to get the credit he deserves. 5/5 would recommend.

Helena was wonderful! - Helena was a wonderful guide. The tour was great; there is a lot of uphill walking so be prepared for that. Totally worth the effort, for sure.
