Our tour guide Mahmood was very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to see his enthusiasm for Roman history. He made sure that we had enough time to take pictures. We enjoyed ourselves!

Excellent tour, so much information and knowledge shared about Rome in general as well as the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum. A lot to take in but there is a lot to share about these amazing places and their extraordinary history. Sabrina was a fantastic guide and we thoroughly recommend the tour, the radio system worked well making it easy to be able to hear all and keep everyone engaged.

Our guide Naomi did a wonderful job. She provided excellent context to what we were seeing, explaining numerous elements from the types of stone and their origins to the culture, politics, & religion of the times. It was fascinating to learn about medieval construction atop truly ancient structures and then their adoption by Catholicism. The only downsides would be the sheer number of people in the Colosseum and inadequate bathrooms for that number of people (both completely out of this group’s control but worth being aware of).

Informative. The guide was very thoughtful of the group’s needs from nobility, hydration, toileting, and time for photos. She was also very open to additional questions about Roman life and food.

Guide was lovely but spoke so fast and so much it was difficult to absorb all the information. Also - too long for kids (11 & 12 years old)

our guide Lisa was great, the tour itself to the arena was underwhelming as we could see everything everyone else could see so it's not worth that extra money. The trip in whole was great though
