Worth every penny! - Our tour was absolutely fantastic. She gave us the history of the city and of the people of Rome. She brought to life the daily stories of the coliseum and of people of Rome. Loved it and the insights into past Roman lives.

Visiting Colosseum and Forum Romanum - Our guide, Eni, was absolutely great, very good in explaining, demonstrating, carrying the right supporting material for the whole of the visit to these sites We spend enough time at the Forum and the Colosseum to be able to absorb and enjoy this historical scenery

Thank you Marie, brilliant!! - Maria was our guide for this afternoon. She was brilliant and had such great knowlege that the 2 and 1/2 hours flew by. As a retired teacher I would give her an A+ grade. Highly recommended

Passionate tour guide with mounds of knowledge - Our guide was George, prompt start time, George was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and the Colosseum. Tour lasted just over 3 hours. The highlight was visiting inside of the Colosseum on the arena floor. Well worth the tour and the price, would advise doing this tour as early in the morning as possible.

Nice option for a Colosseum tour! - We love this tour and appreciated Benjamin’s knowledge of the Colosseum and Roman forum history. My only critique would be the meeting logistics. It was a little chaotic as there were people for additional meeting and that location, I was told to go to a specific area. Luckily, my husband walked around and found our tour guide because I was directed to an incorrect location. It was only a few yards away from the actual meeting location no biggie but if we had not been proactive in looking for our tour guide, we would not have made the tour to clarify this was not Benjamin’s fault. There was someone else directing individuals to groups. Overall, I would recommend this tour just be diligent when checking in.
