Most Knowledgable and Engaging Tour - Sissy is an amazing tour guide and extraordinarily knowledgeable is Roman History. We admired her focus keeping the group moving on time (like herding cats sometimes.....sorry) and engaged in relevant conversation. She is wonderful.

AMAZING!! - Beth is AMAZING, is our second tour guided by her ( the 1st one was the Vatican in 2022) and now the Coliseum. Her knowledge about history and the love for Rome is remarkable. I can listen her for hours without getting bored. We are so lucky to have her again… we hope to comeback again and have her as our guide when the passage of the Emperor inside the coliseum is open to the public. Thank you Beth!

Early morning Colosseum tour. - Marcos was knowledgeable , animated and able to give us a colorful picture of what the ruins used to be. He translated the long history of Rome into sections we could understand and refer back to throughout the tour. A small group of six was fantastico as we passed larger groups with earbuds and not able to engage as easily. We would strongly recommend an early morning tour. Ours was at 8:00 am.

Great guide, so friendly and knowledgeable. - Our guide Francesca was so friendly, she gave us so much history. She made a point of knowing all of our names. I am so glad that I went on a semi private tour, it made it more intimate and enjoyable. She put everything in context, hundreds if not thousands of years of history all connected! What a fantastic tour, so very worth it!!

Highly recommend!! - We were so impressed with our tour with Dario! He had so much to share about the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We learned so much more than we would have in a large group, and didn’t have to wait in any long lines to enjoy the experience. Highly recommend!
