Thanks Andrea - Andrea was very informative and kind, especially considerate toward my pregnant wife. She took things slowly, pointed out areas where my wife could rest—such as lifts—and always adjusted to our pace. She was genuinely thoughtful and made the experience really enjoyable. Thank you very much, Andrea.

A fantastic guide & communication - Giovanna I was a fantastic guide & very knowledgeable, she showed us the best photo points throughout the colosseum. My mum is disabled and was also considerate towards this. Great communication from the company on meeting points etc. Bonus she made recommendations for food at the end and maps were provided at the end too for the whole site and Palestine hill.

Nice experience - A very nice lady who showed us the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. Very good explanations for the ancient history and all the relics. The only downside was the fact that we didn’t have a guided tour for the Colosseum as well.
