A Great Guide! - This was an excellent tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He went out of his way to accommodate a member of our group who was having trouble with climbing steps. That gesture was very appreciated.

Colosseum & Forum guided tour - small group - Having a guide was fantastic - the lovely Italian lady was so knowledgable and engaging! It was a great morning and the 3 hrs flew by! Half the time was spent in the Colosseum, with plenty of time for photos and walking through two levels. The walk to the forum & hill area was great - there is so much to see here. After the tour we spent another 3 hours here…it is vast. One of the best tours I have ever done!

Awesome - a must! - Awesome tour. Easy meeting point/instructions. Jason our guide was very knowledgable, answered all questions, friendly and kept the tour to time really well whilst allowing you time to take photos/take it all in. 9am tour wasn't too busy. Second time visiting and doing this tour, I learnt even more second tome around and tour had slightly new elements to it. Couldn't recommend the tour enough!

Amazing to see, but tough for mobility impaired - There are LOTS of stairs! Difficult for mobility impaired. When I had to use the elevator I completely lost my radio connection with my guide. It was amazing to see, but I recommend a self-guided tour with a headset rather than the guided tour for anyone physically challenged or recovering from recent surgery.
