St. Peter’s Basilica - We enjoyed the tour with Valentin. He gave us a lot of insight and explained the history and art of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was just the right length of time.

Recommending the tour-guide Bogdan - We visited the Colosseum and Forum on April 13 as a family of 4. Our tour-guide, Bogdan, was very interesting and knowledgeable. We had other tour-guides in Italy (in the Vatican Museums and in the Pompeii excavation site) but his English was the clearest. The history he shared about the Colosseum and the Roman Forum was intriguing; without his guidance, we would just be looking at the walls and wondering.

A Must-Do in Rome! - Our tour guide was Mario- he was wonderful! He was such an engaging and entertaining tour guide. This tour packed a lot of information into one hour. It also really truly was a "skip-the-line" experience. Well worth it. And finally, I was really impressed with this tour company. The Colosseum was unexpectedly closed for the original day we booked and they reached out to us via many different forms of communication to rebook. Also, they had great communication on where to meet. This entrance fee was also good to visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill across the street, good for 24 hours after our tour started. This is a must-do in Rome and I highly recommend this tour!

Our tour was... - Our tour was disappointing. We spent more time standing outside of the colosseum listening to our guide rather than in. When we finally got to the arena floor our guide, although knowledgeable, just sat down and talked rather than walking us over to see the underground and explain the history. We also thought we would tour a little more of the colosseum, first level but that was not included. All in all, not worth the price.
