Our favorite experience in Rome! - Our tour was with Rebecca and it couldn’t have been a better experience! We’re so glad we did this tour- she made getting into the Colosseum stress free and brought us to all of the best spots. She’s clearly incredibly passionate about Roman history and made the tour so much fun.
Visiting the Roman Forum is so worth it as well, she brought us up Palatine Hill to a spot with a wonderful view for the Forum and the rest of the city.
Rebecca was stellar! She was really thoughtful, always making sure the tour group was doing well in the heat, finding us spots in the shade whenever possible. She was able to tell us so many fun facts- this experience with her was the best part of our trip hands down!

Excellent tour with DAVIDE - Amazing tour with DAVIDE, he was charismatic and engaging- even for the tired teens. He does these tours multiple times per day, but his explanations still seem fresh and un-jaded. He was very informative, paid attention to our wishes and managed to take us to all the best places in reverse order to the crowds, so we had the best views and sometimes we had the scenic spot to ourselves! I highly recommend Davide as a guide anywhere around Italy, as he was taking tours out of Rome previously.
