Take this tour! - Fantastic tour! Our guide Paolo was extremely knowledgeable and personable, it was obvious he loved his job. The tour lasted for over 3 hours, but went so quickly. Paolo also engaged the teens on the tour with hands on demonstrations of how gladiators fought. I would highly recommend taking this tour!

Wonderful historical tour in Rome! - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Ivana clearly knows her history! My only comment is that it was a bit difficult to understand her. I did find that moving the earbud a bit away from fully inserted into my ear helped a lot. (Slightly slower speech would have too, but that would be a big ask!) Overall, it was a very good experience. Thx.

Amazing tour - Our guided tour of the Colosseum and Palatine Hill today was wonderful. The sights of course are fantastic but the tour guide herself was engaging, amusing and very informative. From this experience we definitely recommend using this tour company in Rome!

Small group trip with an amazing guide - I am not surprised why this tour is so highly rated. Francesca is born to be a guide, she is so fun to be around, always joking. I was never bored. I also think she knows everyone and we were skipping all the lines lol. We were just a small group of 6, and everyone felt included, even if they had some mobility issues. That was so lovely. I totally loved the programme, it’s not just the colloseum but other places too. Everyone on my tour loved the last place where the other trips rarely go. I won’t say what it is to avoid a spoiler :) but I almost didnt wanna leave there. Grazie, Francesca!
