Great guide, tremendous teacher - Tremendous depth of knowledge, very friendly guide, really great experience. My favorite actually was the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. The palace of Tiberius was a highlight. And of course the Colosseum is astounding.

Tour was great, but hot - The tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and showed us all of the important parts of the Colosseum. We suggest you take some water or frozen bottle of water because there’s a lot of walking and it was very hot. Also, you might want to bring sunscreen because there’s little shade in some areas

Amazing tour of the Colosseum arena Gate - My wife and I were impressed with the level of professionalism, knowledge of historical events and enthusiasm our guide Luigi exhibited throughout our tour. He exceeded our group’s expectations, as he was keen to share unique views and experiences that most of the other tours do not share. We also loved that the group was small having only 7 people
