Colosseum in depth - Took a three-hour tour with Dennis of the Colosseum. He was very knowledgeable and actually went about 30 minutes over schedule as there was so much to cover and many questions answered. Skip the line and excellent commentary on the arena and the workings of the underground was very knowledgeable. Photos he provided of how things may have looked vs. now were unique. Thanks for a great tour, Dennis.

Julia! Best tour guide! - Julia is the best! We had an excellent experience with her on our Colosseum and arena floor tour. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Roman history and brought everything to life in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. She was also so thoughtful, taking photos of us during the tour and sharing great local recommendations for restaurants and things to do afterward. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for an informative, memorable, and well-rounded Colosseum experience.

An efficient and knowledgeable tour - Such an incredible day. Silvia was a wealth of knowledge and handled the crowds like a pro, which made the whole thing stress-free. I loved that she could actually answer our random questions about the construction instead of just sticking to a script. We saw everything we wanted to (Arena floor was a highlight!) without feeling rushed or bored. Definitely worth the booking to avoid the headache of navigating it yourself

Pam gave an amazing Colosseum tour, stayed extra to help us explore Rome—highly recommend! - Pam (Pamen) took us on an amazing tour of the Colosseum. My family and I spent one day in Rome, and from the moment we arrived, Pam was incredibly kind and welcoming. She guided us through the Colosseum with great knowledge, answered all of our questions, and gave us incredible views along with fascinating information about its history. What truly made the experience special was how Pam went above and beyond. She generously stayed extra time to help us navigate other nearby areas of Rome, assisted us in getting into the Roman Forum, and pointed out the must-see spots. She spent about an extra hour helping us find our way and making sure we didn’t miss anything. Thanks to her, our short time in Rome was unforgettable. I highly recommend her tour!
