Shared info with a knowledgeable, yet entertaining, tour guide on our tour - My friend and I were always bringing up the rear. Our guide was very patient with us and very kind. Also, the rest of the tour was very considerate. He is very knowledgeable. I have to wonder if he is a historian at Hart.

Awesome Colosseum! - We had a fabulous guide, Loretta, who explained everything so that we could understand. It did require a lot of walking but we were able to use the elevator to reach the second level. Outside the colosseum the ground was very uneven which required you to pay attention to where you were going. Also, although it was crowded, Loretta made sure we all were together.

Remember it’s a walking tour. Have fun - The meeting place description was a little off give yourself plenty of time to find it , lots of people there. Elizabeth our guide was wonderful made sure we could all see and was very informative. This is a lot of walking and standing, wear good shoes as there are un level walkways , bring a water bottle. We had a wonderful time and going with a tour we skipped hours in line.

Very informative - Our tour guide Bogdan was great. Very knowledgeable about everything within the tour. He was light and able to keep us engaged. We were not expecting to have any earpiece/headphone for the tour, however I understand why it is necessary with the amount of people going in and out of the colosseum. I would have preferred two earpieces rather than one to block out the rest of the excess noise. Bogdan’s accent was hard to understand at times but again, he was very knowledgeable. Definitely a good experience to understand the history!

Terrible - The Tour Guy company is extremely poor. They changed the timing significantly from the original booking. The hearing equipment did not work. They did not offer restroom break. Communication was horrific. Choose another option! The tour guides themselves were extremely qualified and educated.
