Great

Published on Oct, 2024

Great tour of the colosseum. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer but we had another commitment .

An archeologist as a guide! Excellent!

Published on Jul, 2024

The guide was an archeologist and she explained everything with passion and knowledge. Great experience!

Very informative guide :)

Published on Jul, 2024

Tour guide was very informative and ensured we kept to the shade. Was very attentive and helpful when a member of the party injured themselves. I am ensure of our tour guides name but we were on the 11am tour on July 16th 2024. Would highly recommend if you would like a lot of good information with pictures included and good photography spots.

Amazing experience
