A group of five of us spent a great afternoon with Claudia The tour was great, and our guide was so knowledgeable. She has a degree in archeology - and we could all see how much she loved Rome and Roman history.

I just don’t think you could experience the Colosseum to it’s full without a tour as there is limited information in the amphitheater itself. Sam was an amazing tour guide. Full of energy and non-stop information. He answered all of our questions with amazing knowledge and was the best start to our time in Rome. Would highly recommend.

Marco was a great guide! Very informative and fun! He made learning more about Roman history enjoyable. The skip the line access was great. Having a small group of 4 was the best, we could ask questions and engage with each other easily. And we made new friends we found later in Florence as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible tour with Dennis through the Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Palatine Hill. His depth of knowledge brought the ancient ruins to life, weaving history with fascinating stories in a way that was both educational and entertaining. Dennis has a smooth, confident style that made the whole experience feel effortless and engaging. Everything flowed seamlessly, and his charisma kept us captivated from start to finish.

This was THE best way to experience the Colosseum. Laura Sensi was an amazing tour guide who was bright and funny and very helpful. She had so much information to share. You can tell she truly loves her job! Definitely worth it to be in the Colosseum first, before the crowds. Such an amazing experience, great for me as a solo traveler. 10/10, no notes!

Scratch this one off of the Bucket List, we were in AWE at the sight of this master piece. The guide was extremely knowable on our tour. It was evident the guide LOVED his job.
