Private Colosseum and Roman Forum Tour with Barbara - Barbara was our guide for our tour of the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Galleria Borghese. Her breadth & depth of knowledge was impressive, and she related that knowledge beautifully; Barbara is a wonderful storyteller, and her detailed descriptions of the Colosseum & Forum (e.g., the gladiators) brought it all to life for us. But Barbara really wowed us in the Borghese as she helped us see the artworks through her expert eyes, particularly the works of Bernini. Barbara made our tour spectacular, and we do not hesitate to give Barbara our wholehearted, highest recommendation. We would love to tour with Barabara again.

Private early access - Amazing tour early morning access tour with Paula. She navigated us to spots in the colosseum to be the first on the floor when it opened. She had a vast knowledge of the history of Rome. We now have a greater understanding of how Rome has changed over the centuries of Roman rule.
