Amazing experience! - Gianluca was amazing! Very knowledgable, friendly and clearly has a passion for Rome’s history. Was meant to be in a group of 6 but ended up just me, my partner and Gianluca. We got to walk around the Forum, we had visual aids showing us what it would’ve looked like during the empire. The trip to the Colosseum was amazing, got to go the through the hypogeum, which is restricted from the public unless with a guide. Gianluca gives you plenty of time for pictures. 10/10 experience.

Great Tour - Very informative and intresting tour at the forum, the colosseum (incl. the underground and the arena). The guide was Rosalba (which was very good). The forum part was very intresting (surprisingly even more than the colosseum). I recommend doing the tour at the morning and not at noon.

Great tour of Colosseum - It was kind of chaotic trying to find our guide with all the people around there. However once we found Marco he was great. He is an archeologist which was great for him to point out the little things that would have been missed without him.
The underground at the colosseum was great and Marco was able to paint us an image of what it must have been like during the times with all the gladiators and animals being released in the trap doors etc.
I wish we would have seen more at the Roman Forum. Basically just went in, saw a few things, got a great view of the outside of the colosseum and then headed into the colosseum. You do need a lot more time to see all of the Roman forum as it is huge but having a little more overview of it and the layout would be helpful for if we wanted to go back on our own at our own pace.
