Great tour, perfect guide - Antonio was the best tour guide we’ve had anywhere, including on a previous tour of the colosseum and forum. His passion and knowledge for Italian history were obvious, and we learned a tremendous amount even though it was our second tour. Antonio went longer than the tour was scheduled, which was not only appreciated, but also how much betterexperience than a shorter tour. Very highly recommended. Ask for Antonio.

The best of the best. Italia Tours. - Chiara was our guide. We certainly scored a good one with her. Chiara met us armed with folders and books filled with artwork and easy to understand archaeological information. She used them to explain more fully what she was showing us and talking about. The level of information was ideal. Not too much to take in and not too little that we we were left wondering. All questions were answered honestly and knowledgeably. Chiara is a delightful guide, charming, humerous and considerate. Should I ever return to Rome, Chiara is one guide I would request for future tours.

Colosseum and Roman Forum - The entire experience was great. The directions on where to meet and when were accurate and easy to follow including a picture. The guide, Nadya, was there early and we were able to check in along with the other couple in the group. Nadya did a fantastic job throughout the tour. She knows her stuff and was able to answer all the questions she was asked. She kept us moving but not rushed.

Ancient Rome 3 Hour Walking Tour - Vincencio was an amazing guide. This is a 3 hour, which just scratches the surface of Ancient Rome. This included the Forum and many other sites.
