Great tour guide - Frederica was fantastic. She really knew her stuff and gave everyone a chance to take photos, catch up, use the toilet. She knew everything and spoke about 4 different languages. She was brilliant.

Book this now! You won’t regret it - Our guide, David, MADE this experience. He was the perfect amount of funny, charming and informative, while also providing us with recommendations on local spots to eat/drink. We loved our tour with him so much that we decided to book an evening tour of the Pantheon with him as well. We could not recommend this enough!

Colosseum and ruins. - The guide was very informative. I felt comfortable and not rushed., on the tour. And he waited for us to get to the meeting point exactly at the start of the tour. Definitely would recommend this tour.

Let’s see ancient Rome - Tour guide was excellent. Her energy and knowledge made this such an awesome tour. Commentary was excellent not too much. Pace of the tour was good. Started at the Forum, then Palatine Hill. Well covered in a short amount of time. Of course the Colosseum was super crowded. Again guide did a good job keeping the group together and getting us quickly through the lines. I thought our time here was too short. Limited commentary here. Of course you could spend as long as you liked inside but the tour was over very quickly after reaching the viewing balcony.

Difficult to understand guide - We were really looking forward to this tour, but unfortunately it was very difficult to understand our guide. She was well intentioned but we only understood a fraction of what was said due to her accent. She also talked the entire 2.5 hours instead of stopping at specific places to share more impactful information that you could focus on. Several of us have been on tours before and got much more out of the experience due to having guides who were great storytellers. Honestly, I think we would have been better off doing a podcast guide.
