Sarah was excellent! She... - Sarah was excellent! She was nearly as entertaining as the sights. She has an avid knowledge and desire for her job. It really showed. She went above and beyond to make sure the experience was interactive and paid homage where needed be. From music to videos to documents stowed away in her handbag, the whole experience was immersive. My husband and I would follow her about anywhere. 😁

Caters to American tourist. - The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect New Jersey English. She went above and beyond to meet was when we went to the wrong meeting location. Going to the Colosseum floor was a great addition to the typical tour. No waiting in line did not waste time moving from one location to the next.

Excellent tour and guide - Excellent tour! Our guide, a Polish woman, was great! She was so knowledgeable and took time to explain the history and culture. The tour company was organized and waited for everyone to arrive. I would highly recommend this tour!

No floor as paid for! - Tour guide was wonderful and knowledgeable, but we did not go on the arena floor which is what we paid for. Company should’ve offered money back.

Disappointing - Showed up tour was canceled last minute not contacted prior, no other guides, given the ticket and had to go explore it on my own. Waiting for what it said to be half the refund ? So disappointing!! Even if it was because of unforeseen events as told. There should be a back up plan as I booked this months ahead with a tight schedule and no other time to rebook, and no advanced notice to choose another tour.
