Sam is fabulous guide - Our guide Sam was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and engaging. And a lovely person. We were a family with 15 and 8 year old boys who loved it also. Highlight was the Colosseum and how it all worked.... including the toilets!!! Thank you Sam, you're so passionate about history, it was fascinating to listen to you.

Amazing experience - City Wonders have been amazing. They have clear communication from the start and it was easy to find them or tour guide. I forgot his name but he has curly hair glasses. He was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very funny. Unfortunately it was a very rainy and ugly day, but he made the best out of it for me and my family. I would definitely recommend and do it again.

- We did this tour with Cosimo as a small group of six and it was truly a great experience of the Roman Forum, Palatine and the Colosseum. Highly informative. Cosimo is truly a very knowledgable guide with his deep knowledge and interest in the history and architecture really brought us to feel like we were spending a day in Ancient Rome. I highly recommend this tour as I had previously come to Rome 15 years ago and toured these sites without a guide and had missed much of the nuance that makes up the old city and how it relates to modern day.

Highly informative tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum - I do not know which Roman God oversees the giving of tours, but he made an excellent choice when Scott showed up to be our tour guide. Scott has been giving tours of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum for over four years. My wife and I took this City Wonders tour on Monday, 7 April 2025. Scott told us that he would give us more information than any other tour guide. That was no idle boast. He was full of information, and it was interesting, informative, humourous at times, and always relevant to what we were looking at. Everything we saw was put into its historical context, and he made the past come alive. Scott really knows his stuff. He was able to skillfully guide us through the large crowds that were on site that day, and he manoeuvred us from one strategic vantage point to another. He was aware that many of us were trying to take photographs, and he tried to give us every opportunity to take pictures without disrupting the flow of the tour. I came away satisfied with what I learned and saw, but Scott’s commentary made me want to go out and learn even more. That’s what a good teacher and what a good tour guide does. Scott loves what he does, and it shows. He was even conducting a second tour later that day. This was a wonderful tour that gets my highest recommendation. Five big stars from Canada.

ELA the tour guide rocks!! - Ela was very knowledgeable and very good story teller who managed to not only give us a lot of interesting facts and tidbits but also put them in a larger context. Ela was awesome and very on point and she looks like she enjoys her job. Love it!!!
