Great Tour of the Roman Forum - We loved our tour of the Roman Forum! It was so cool to learn the history of the Forum and what daily life was like for Romans. Our favorite part of the tour was getting to hear about the myths that established Rome.Paolo was a great guide and storyteller. He also was excellent at answering all of our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, especially those interested in history and mythology.

Wonderful guide, one of the best we’ve ever encountered anywhere! - Paolo is an outstanding guide on every level, professional humane, an excellent story teller and a fascinating illustrator of cultural and political and daily life of the Romans. Don’t miss a chance to learn from him!

Informative - Very knowledgeable tour. Hard to understand his English. I’d recommend though verses doing regular tickets and walking thru on own.

Don’t try to see the Forum on your own. Book this tour! - We are so thankful we booked this tour of the Forum instead of trying to navigate the complicated and immense area ourselves. Our guide was Paolo and he was wonderful. He did a fantastic job of helping us to imagine what the forum would have looked like in ancient times. He had a flipbook of pictures/sketches that provided good illustration for his narrative. I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable of ancient Roman history, and I was impressed with how much information and context Paolo provided. I was happy to have learned a lot on the tour!! Paolo also did a great job of maneuvering us into the shade before he explained what we were looking at and provided time to use the restroom and hydrate. I highly recommend booking this tour!
