Amazing tour of the Forum, Palantine and Colleseum led by Mircea - An amazing tour of the Forum, Palatine Hill and Collesseum led by the amazing Mircea Marciu. We booked normal group tickets but were lucky enough to be the only attendees so we got a private tour from Mircea. His level of knowledge and love for the history of Rome was excellent and turned the tour into the highlight of our trip. Thank you Mircea!!

History at its Finest - This was a great tour, we spent every bit of 4 hrs here. So glad we had a guide who was very knowledgeable of the coliseum. He took his time to explain the areas and even gave us some extra bonus site to view. There was so much other than the Coliseum it self. The outside ground that were apart of it have so much history that are guide was aware and knowledgeable of. It was almost overwhelming with the history. I thought I knew some of the history but it was nothing in comparison to what he taught us. I would highly recommend this tour, by far one of the best ones we did.

Fun and efficient - The tour was very informative without being too long. Our guide Marcus was efficient while still allowing us time to stop for photos and enjoy. We got to learn a lot about history and our guide was able to weave in fun stories to make the tour more interesting.

A wee bit disappointed... - A wee bit disappointed with this tour. Although the guide seemed quite knowledgeable, it felt both rushed and extended in Palatine Hill/Roman Forum, so much so that we had to leave tour during colessium visit due to conflicting schedule on my end. Unfortunately communication throughout tour was not as clear as I had wished which hindered my overall experience. Skip the line is definitely worth it though.

Misleading, disappointed - Was supposed to be a guided tour, but they just sent a link to an audio guide app and gave us tickets. Extremely overpriced for just an audio guided tour. The audio guide app was convoluted and had bad location services, making it hard to follow. Also led us to places that were under construction, forcing my parents with mobility issues to walk much farther than necessary. Extremely disappointed
