What a tour - What an excellent tour from start to finish. Excellent communication and directions to the meeting point. The tour guide, Valarie (well that was the English version of her name) was incredible. Her English was fluent and she was an archeologist. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and kept us completely engaged for the whole three hours. She held the tickets to easily get us through all the various check points. She explained the history of everything and managed to keep the group together throughout, despite it being busy. I learned some fascinating details that we could not have got if we went without a guide. So glad we did the tour. Worth every penny 5/5.

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

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.

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.

Cancelled - The trip was cancelled due to the tour guide being ill and I am still waiting for my refund. Despite being cancelled I continued to receive messages and notifications about being at the meeting place on time. Super disappointed

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.
