Andrea was absolutely outstanding — engaging, informative, and clearly deeply passionate about the city. Their knowledge was exceptional, bringing history to life through fascinating stories, insights, and details you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. Every viewpoint was thoughtfully explained, with breathtaking scenery made even more memorable by the context and stories behind it. The experience felt immersive from start to finish, and it was clear we were learning from someone who genuinely loves and understands the history they share.

This tour was fantastic, Felicity our tour guide was one of the best guides we have ever had. Even passers by were impressed by her enthusiasm and knowledge! We visited so many historical sites and learned so much, we were very glad to have our guide with us to ask questions and learn from. Would definitely recommend this on your next visit if you are curious about the colloseum and surrounding ruins.

The tour was interesting but i felt there could have been more information around the sites, i felt our guide spoke a lot about the different stones/marbles that were used in each section which personally i wasn’t interested in. The views were amazing & learning about the history of the colosseum was incredible

The english was poor. Difficult to follow due to the accent. The presentation is boring. Not a great experience.
Travelers say the guides are <strong>knowledgeable, passionate</strong> and <strong>informative.</strong>
