Had such a blast on this... - Had such a blast on this semi-private tour with Luigi the tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, silly, and great with everyone, such as kids in the group, other tourists, and employees. He does move quick but he does a great job and stopping and waiting for you to catch up. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing Tour worth every penny, fabulous guide Rosa made it special - It’s totally worth the little extra to have a smaller party and access to areas of the colosseum that are not included in other guides. We had a lovely group and the Amazing Rosa who made the tour so special with her knowledge and kindness.

Full Coliseum experience - If you are thinking of visiting the coliseum then the full small group experience is the oneyour should choose with a visit to the Roman Forum included. We had a small party of 5 with an extremely knowledgeable guide Rosabella. Lots of walking ( be prepared). Fortunately the weather was good cloudy but no rain. We went through areas others don't go. A brilliant tour.

Our guide Katy was... - Our guide Katy was fantastic. If you’re going to see the colosseum, use a guide and skip the lines. It’s worth it to avoid spending your whole vacation day in lines. Having a knowledgeable guide also enhances the experience. No matter what you may think you know, they are unearthing and learning new things everyday. The guides are up to date with the recent findings.

The best of the eternal city - Our guide was superb! He made the Forum come alive and the experience underground in the Colosseum was equally fantastic. Jean Luc was great, kept us moving along, had a great sense of humor and allowed for time to absorb everything we were learning.

Don’t hesitate - book this tour - The Colosseum underground & Roman forum tour was amazing. Azzurra gave us a fascinating insight to the Colosseum, its multiple uses and the spectacle of the games. The underground was brilliant. The Roman Forum was like a history book you could walk around. The small tour made it extra special and you skipped queues. Even the rain (outside of anyone’s control) could not dampen our enthusiasm. Well done & thank you Azzurra for one of the highlights of our visit to Rome.

Solid informed tour. Be prepared to walk fast. - Solid tour with a super knowledgeable archeologist. There were a few things he mentioned I'd love to go back to and discuss with him as I did some reaserch and some of his numbers seem off. Definetly a proud Italian. That said, there were just 6 of us on this tour and we got to see a lot and learn a lot which was the point.
