Good Guide - Our tour leader was great and very attentive to the group as he guided through the 3 hour tour of the Coliseum and Forum. He kept us in the shade as much as possible.

Not a great experience - We were suppose to be on a small group tour. The operator had us wait 30 minutes in the sun for three different families that were late.
The operator called to ask us if we wanted to add on more activities we were NOT advised that meant more people and waiting in the heat for 30 more minutes
I had to leave the tour because I was overheated
My daughter was still on the tour so I knew I could return the audio device
The tour guided scolded me and did not even ask if I was ok
It was an extremely hot day.
I do not recommend this company.
