Alessio was a wonderful guide who made our visit to Ancient Rome truly memorable - Alessio’s passion for Ancient Rome made this trip truly memorable. Alessio has a lovely speaking style, and was able to engage with our group in a way that was very informative but not overly didactic. We could joke and shoot the breeze with him in between the focal points of the visit. A true Roman - noble and courteous!

A Memorable Experience at the Palatine Hill and Colosseum with Sara - We participated in the "Colosseum & Ancient Rome Semi-Private Tour" and were enchanted by our guide, Sara. Her expertise and passion for Roman history were evident from the start, making the tour even more special.
We began our visit at the Palatine Hill, where Sara explained the historical, social, political, geographical, and architectural aspects of the site. The panoramic view of the Roman Forum was breathtaking.
The tour continued at the Colosseum. Sara immersed us in that epic place of gladiators and emperors. With vivid descriptions, she illustrated the life in the arena, from the underground structures to the habits of the spectators divided by social class. Her ability to bring ancient Rome to life made the experience unique.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to dive into the history of Rome. Thank you, Sara, for making our visit unforgettable!

So knowledgeable and engaging - What a great day out with Simona, our guide for the tour. We lucked up as we booked a semi private tour (maximum of 8) but it ended up being just the two of us. Full credit to the tour company for not cancelling due to a lack of numbers.
Our guide Simona is an archeological academic with significant qualifications, so her knowledge was supreme. It was a tour where the guide really knew the subject and wasn’t just reading from a script. This meant that any question was easily and happily answered.
Full credit to Andrea for her communication in keeping us informed on meeting time and place including pictures of where to meet, and what to bring.
A perfect experience and one we will remember.

Informative and helpful tour. - Outstanding tour. We found the guide easily and the company’s directions and picture of where to meet were extremely helpful. Our guide was knowledgeable, easy to understand and was able to navigate the crowds easily. She always found wonderful spaces for us to have an excellent viewing spot. She was also helpful with other areas of Rome to visit while we are here. We appreciated the smaller group. It was more intimate and we felt we were able to see more.

Sara's Coliseum & Ancient Rome - Sara, our guide was fantastic! She really knows what she is doing. Very knowledgable and kept us entertained. It is a small group tour which made the tour even better. So much information about this area of Rome was relayed to us and we were able to see so much!
