A must do tour when in Rome!! Highlight of our trip - Where to begin… our tour with Rosie was incredible. She was on time, friendly, so knowledgeable about the colosseum and the Roman forums, and was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. She was incredibly kind in answering our many questions. My family and I will be recommending this tour, and Rosie, to our friends who plan to go to Rome. Thank you again for such a memorable and wonderful experience!

Informative. Entertaining. Definitely value added to the experience! - This is the way to see the Colosseum! The large groups were lumbering along and didn’t have as much personal interaction. Having a small group of 4 of us with Alessandro, our guide, was a much more intimate way of seeing the Colosseum and Roman Forum.
Alessandro is an archeologist who is part guide, part professor, and part comedian. He’s hilarious and provides information in an informative and entertaining way.
Unfortunately we couldn’t get into the underground portion as we were told prior to our trip that the Colosseum administration had oversold underground entry tickets and were not able to fulfill all those sold. We got a partial refund but that was okay. We still saw and learned plenty!
I would recommend this experience. It was well worth the money to get such a personalized experience instead of one of those large groups with the whisper radios of the guide walking along and talking into everyone’s ear.

Elisa was a wonderful... - Elisa was a wonderful guide for this 3 hour small group tour of the Coliseum that included the underground. One couple cancelled so there were only 3 in our group which felt like a private tour. I learned so much and the time flew by!
