Great Colosseum Experience - Filomena was a great guide—very knowledgeable and informative. She dealt with disruptive members of our group swiftly while maintaining her professionalism. We really enjoyed the tour. Thanks again, Filomena.

We had a fantastic tour!... - We had a fantastic tour! I am sorry I did not quite catch our tour guide's name but she was so thorough and knowledgeable of Rome's history, and patient in answering our many questions. She made old Rome come alive for us that the pieces of stones in the Roman forum, Palatine Hill and the Colloseum now tell a story. The small group of 7 and the individual audio receivers made communication easy in these overcrowded places.

Great tour - Tour guide was very knowledgeable. He was funny and we really enjoyed the tour. The guide was easy to find at the meeting spot. I am so glad that I booked this tour. It was very organized. I think if I tried to do this without the guide I would have been overwhelmed but our guide made it great!

Enjoying roman about Palatine Hill and Flavius’s Amphitheater (“the Colluseum”) - This was an absolutely educational and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Our guide’s narrative and tour was very informative. What really enhanced it and kept is engaged was how he sprinkled it with dry yet witty humor throughout. Kept my attention. He was very proactive and responsive to participants questions. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Fine but not the best experience - Better headsets would improve the experience- guide hard to hear, plus range was so short. Also, Colosseum part seemed rushed and not given any photo opportunities. Lots of showing us A4 pictures of what it would have looked like.
