    Colosseum winter tour
    Brilliant tour guide (Gabe) who never stopped giving us information and hilarious jokes. Well organised tour with easy meet point, seamless entry and the information from the guide just enhanced the experience so much.

    Forum tour
    Bogden was our guide. He went above and beyond with sharing his immense knowledge of Roman history. He knew so many various topics and did so in a very engaging and entertaining manner. I would highly recommend his tour 🙂

    Nice tour
    The option to explore the Colosseum Arena or Underground added an exciting twist, with the underground tour providing a unique perspective of the structure. Walking through the Roman Forum was like stepping back in time. The small group made it feel personal, and the experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rome! 5 stars!

    Great learning experience.
    Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and the tour was a great learning experience. I highly recommend the tour as a manageable way to experience these sites amongst the crowds which even in late November are very large. Apparently there is no slow season in Rome.

    Great guide; excellent tour company
    Our guide was very informative and readily answered any questions any participant presented to her. She made sure we all stayed together and pointed out. Many interesting facts along our journey. I also want to give a shout out to this particular tour. When I originally booked, the underground tunnels were offered as part of this particular tour. However, several months after the booking it had to be modified due to restrictions placed on all tour operators regarding the underground tunnels of the Colosseum.Mia at the tour company contacted me immediately and offered a partial refund due to the change in how this tour was initially presented. I thought it was excellent service.

    Wow! Just wow!
    This is a must see if you are in Rome! It was FASCINATING! Standing on a floor from 329AD - it's mind blowing! It's such a non -descript building from the outside - but inside - wow - just wow!

    Excellent tour of Forum and Coliseum by knowledgeable local guide.
    Donatella our guide was knowledgeable, pleasant and very professional. She provided a thorough overview of the Forum and Coliseum in a 3 hour tour. She also provided advice on other sites in Rome and was extremely patient at dealing with a group that repeatedly lost their tickets and had physical challenges with the walk. If you are at all physically compromised this is not the tour for you. It involves lots of stairs and almost 3 hours of walking. However if you are up to it physically this will be one of the highlights of your visit to Rome. I would not recommend going to the Forum without a guide. Not only do you avoid the lines you get a very thorough explanation of what you are seeing. Unless you have a PHD in Roman History you will be lost without a guide like Donatella.
