Fabulous tour - My fiancé and I had a fabulous experience on this tour. Our tour guide, Alessandra Tosti, was so knowledgeable and thorough. She had great English so we could really understand everything she was telling us. Best tour guide we've had in Italy.

Incredible tour with amazing guide! - We toured Palatine Hill, the Forum and the Colleseum with the fabulous Allesandro as our tour guide. She was so knowledgeable, passionate, warm and funny. We felt so lucky to be part of her group today. For nearly three hours she kept us captivated with stories of the past, her historical knowledge was incredible. Even better, she knew how to connect to everyone in the group and keep us together, safe and happy throughout incredibly busy places. An absolute highlight of our visit to Rome!

Alessandra was such a... - Alessandra was such a wonderful host! She was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her educational background brought an added depth to the tour that you simply wouldn’t get otherwise. She explained the history and details in a way that was both easy to understand and fascinating, making the experience not only informative but also very enjoyable. Alessandra’s passion for what she does really shines through, and it made the tour feel special and memorable.

Perfect tour! - We had a great experience on our tour. Our tour guide Adnan was a pleasure and so knowledgable! His style of teaching us the history, while also asking us questions kept us engaged throughout the entirety of the three hours. what was even more special was that it felt as if the three hours flew by, and we were left wanting to learn even more than we did! this was such a great introduction to the history of the early Roman times. Would highly recommend, and especially if you’re able to get Adnan!

An energetic,... - An energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide… He made all the difference. There was a fair amount of walking and some of our group is older so he was very considerate with his pace. It was a great group. It was just a really nice day.

The tour of the Coliseum... - The tour of the Coliseum was one we were very excited to do. Other family members had done it in the past and raved about it. Unfortunately for us, our tour guide had such broken English that we could only understand about 1/3 of what she tried to tell us. She spoke quite fast and it was difficult to understand her. The structures were amazing, the views incredible, and the history ( what we could understand), was very interesting. We stayed after the tour ended so we could take time to look at exhibits and read about the history. We felt the guide had a time table and it didn’t allow for this. It added context and gave greater insight to the experience. I would recommend seeing the coliseum but try to ensure you have a guide you can understand. It will help a lot!

Colosseum and Roman Forum trip - Our guide was very knowledgeable but I personally found the content not very interesting. She focused a lot on the materials that the buildings were made of, there were no interesting anecdotes included and we were at the Forum for over 2 hours and only a short time at the Colosseum. I spoke to another couple on the tour and they agreed with me. At one point she was so far ahead of us we couldn’t hear her on the microphone and at that point I gave up and took my ear piece out!

Colisseum tour - The meeting point sent to us by e mail and text was vague and incorrect. Luckily we went half hour early so had time to phone company and the sent us location on WhatsApp The guide was very nice but their English was not perfect so some points were difficult to understand. The audio system was also difficult to listen to
