Down under the Coliseum - The guide was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. It was a surprise to have an archeologist lead the tour. Very attentive and considerate of groups time and possible physical limitations. Highly recommended

Guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. - We had a great time! The guide was very knowledgeable and she took her time explaining things to us. We felt the tour was thorough and entertaining. She covered the history in a manner that brought it alive.

Excellent tour guide - Tour meeting point was easy to find. Good communication beforehand. Tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer! Skip the line was a great way of avoiding the queues and would definitely recommend the special access tour as we learnt loads that we didn't know. Would highly recommend.

Amazing TOUR - This was an amazing tour mostly due to the well educated tour guide we had. I can’t recall his name… however he was a geologist. His knowledge was vast and he was able to describe it all in such an amazing way. Wild definitely recommend this your to any who is interested. Be sure to wear supportive shoes with tread as there are many slick surfaces and a lot of walking and stairs. There is an elevator at each of the major tour attractions but not super convenient.

Worth the price - Our tour guide Julia was exceptional, she gave us great information throughout the tour, even with the two heavy rain downpours . The one thing to consider is the quality of headsets that are given on tours you might be taking, these were very good, the ones that we were given at the Vatican tour I wouldn’t give you two cents for.

Worth it - Such a great tour. Our guide Julia was so informative and you could tell she genuinely enjoyed what she was doing. She answered any questions that were thrown at her and gave us plenty of opportunities for photos and breaks in the shade as it was a hot day. Had such a great time on this tour.

Excellent tour, excellent guide. - Tour guide was a retired archeologist who actually had worked on the ruins we toured. He was very knowledgeable and told stories and gave in-depth facts on the history and way of life in Roman times. He was excellent as was the tour. It was a bit long, with a lot of walking, so you need stamina.

Poor tour description - Not a good tour for older people. Lots of stairs to climb. These facts should be disclosed to people. Almost impossible to find a taxi when the tour was over. Tour guide walked too fast and was not very helpful.

Very Bad Experience - Do not use!!!! Tour guide was OK, BUT company sent an email about a “slight” change to the time. Email was in with hundreds of others we received & ended up in SPAM. Their “slight” change was moving up the tour by 1 whole hour. We ended up missing out on morning tour. No surprise when people didn’t show up for “slight” change. Company pockets all the non refundable price without providing service. Written complaint to them with no response.
