Gladiators, Stones, and LOLs!🫠 - Who knew ancient ruins could be this hilarious? Our guide made Roman history so fun, I almost thought we’d find a WiFi password among the old stones. Perfect mix of laughs, legends, and epic selfies 😎would fight lions for this tour again!

Ancient Rome with a Side of Sass - This Colosseum tour had it all—history, stunning ruins, and a guide who mixed facts with fun like a pro. We dashed through the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, got lost in stories, and came out feeling like time travelers. Just don’t forget comfy shoes!

Teacher and Fun - The guide was very knowledgeable and inspiring in addition to humor. He also took good care of our group when we ended up becoming a little big group. One of the members of the group used crickets, but he always made sure he was there and arranged the elevator inside the Colosseum. The only thing that was stupid was that I read afterwards that the guides would like to accept tips at the end of the tour, he deserved tips!! Even in 38 degrees this was a top trip for me and my daughter in 20 years.
