It's about 3 hours long,... - It's about 3 hours long, a fair amount of interesting archeological info included. An option was given part way through the Forum tour which our group enjoyed though involving a slightly strenuous climb.

Millennial history - If you come to Rome and ‘a must see these sites, calculate almost a day if you take it slow, but more than 4 hours safe. What about going back in time, if you are in love with the history of Rome take a guide. You'll be amazed.

Excellent Tour - Marta was excellent. Very thorough, but never dull. It was easy to find the yellow flag to begin and we started right on time. Her English was very good and she was happy to answer questions and give us time to take photos. I highly recommend this tour!

Historical View of the Forum and Coliseum - It was the first thing we did in Rome and it was hot and we were severely jet lagged. Our tour guide was great and we had a splendid time. Our guide even managed to get a great photo of my family on my camera which I really appreciate. It was a lovely morning. The tour was mostly of the Roman forum and the Coliseum with just a view from Palatine Hill.

Fantastic tour guide - Our guide Maria was fantastic and so knowledgable. The facts and stories that she told us about the Roman Forum and Colosseum really made you feel like you could see how it was back in its glory days. Not one part of the tour was rushed and any questions you had Maria always had the answer. There was plenty of time to stop whenever you wanted to take a picture. Would highly recommend booking a tour with this company!

Easiest way to understand Roman history - Very informative tour. Our guide Daniel gave us a good flavor of the history and architecture. It takes about 3.5 hours so plan accordingly with good shoes. There are some places to fill your water bottle. The tour took us to special areas in the Roman forum and Colosseum which were not available in general tickets. The ability to skip the long lines is a blessing!
