One of the best tours with Andy! - Andy was the best tour guide. It was raining and cold, but well worth it to hear about all of the history Rome has! Andy’s tour is top of list of things we’ve done in Rome. The Palatine Hill and Roman Forum were a great plus! Loved it all and highly recommend Andy. You skip all the lines as well!

Exceptional Tour - Such an amazing tour, our guide Eugene was wonderful he took his time answering all of our questions. From learning about Palatine hill to the way the coliseum was built he was very knowledgeable. If you ever get a chance to be in Rome and book this tour request him if possible you will not be disappointed!

I was very disappointed... - I was very disappointed when I was emailed that the arena floor portion of the Colosseum was taken off my visit. Then I was told by my toyr agency taken i was "upgraded" to a VIP tour that did not feel like a VIP tour. Also, they asked if I would like to have a private tour, for an additional charge, which at that point I found frustrating. To be demoted and than asked to pay more for something that was taken form me....? Seems like a rip-off to me. We did, go along with the tour, minus the Gladiator floor arena and the overall experience was good. I was just very disappointed with the ticket and 3rd party organization and how it was conducted.

Can't understand a thing. - Terrible. Can't understand a word the guide was saying. Either the accent or the equipment, waste of time. Only understood 20% of what she said. Gave up, got ChatGPT to give me a more efficient tour. I suggest that honestly. Cheaper and more detail.
