Great tour and guide - We had an amazing time with a tremendous guide, Alessandra Tosti. We had a group of 13, but she helped us navigate the Roman forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum easily while sharing with us a wealth of knowledge. Particularly for the Roman forum and Palatine Hill, it was incredibly helpful to interpret what still remained and what had been present. Highly recommend.

Proffesional,... - Proffesional, knowledgeable guide! The tour is for 99% outside, not ideal if the weather is bad or extreme heat...Ronu or Romainian guide was extremely well informed, funny and articulate

Great guide, not so great company running things - Tour guide Luca was excellent. Very knowledgeable, showed us all around the colloseum and palatine hill. Fantastic guide, the company running this have the wrong address for the meeting point it points to a tourist information booth, when the tour starts opposite the road at the basilica, which is mentioned nowhere in the emails, luckily they had put this in a WhatsApp message because they changed our time slot. And luckily we didn't miss our tour. Overall 5* stars to LUCA, 2 stars go to the company, bad communication/directions.

Awesome!! - It’s great! Loved the information and the swiftness. If you’re looking to really read into things then this may not be the tour for you. I personally like just glancing and taking the experience in rather than sitting in one place for long.

Worst experience ever! - The worst experience ever. Wasted my whole afternoon. The tour guide never showed up. No communication whatsoever. I called and texted Viator they could not get a hold of the tour company or tour guy either. Don't waste your precious time.
