Better with a Guide - Fourth time to the Forum and this visit was the most memorable! Thank you Manola; the perfect guide! Knowledgeable, fun, friendly and efficient. She answered all of our (many) questions and showed us parts of the Palatine hill that we hadn’t seen. The Coliseum tour was informative and energetic. Manola took good care of us in the 95 degree heat (stops in the shade, water refills) and the 3 hour tour flew by!

Amazing small group tour! - I had a wonderful experience with Manola today on the small group Colosseum and Roman Forum tour. I have been to both several times before, with perhaps one tour many years ago, and I can honestly say I left with a deeper appreciation of the sites. I learned so much from Manola that I didn’t know before. She was so interesting, knowledgeable and kind - I didn’t want the tour to end! It was well paced, she introduced me to several areas I was unfamiliar with, and I am so thankful that I chose this tour. It was worth every penny to have such a personalized experience - no need for headphones, ample time to deeply explore the amazing historical sites, and even more in-depth than the description would indicate. On the organizational side City Tours was also great. I booked with them directly and their communication prior to the tour was fantastic and helpful. I would not hesitate to book with them again, and I highly recommend Manola as a guide! Book it, you won’t regret it!
