Silvia is the best tour guide of all time, so friendly and open to many different opportunities and routes. The tour flew by and learned so many new things. I had so much fun, and you will too with Silvia!

We had an unforgettable experience touring the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill with Silva Rana. Having her as our guide made all the difference—she taught us so much about the history, the people, and what truly happened in these places. Everything came to life through her explanations. She is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate, and you can feel how much she loves what she does. My husband and I enjoyed every minute, and honestly, I would have stayed the whole day walking and learning with her if I could! I highly recommend Silva to anyone who wants more than just a tour—you get a true historical experience. Thank you, Silva, for making our time in Rome so special!

Silvia was the best guide. She taught us all the Roman history we needed and could answer every question. Being able to learn from a real archaeologist was delightful. She’s very kind and considerate of our tour experience. Took us to great picture spots and landmarks. I think she knows every date of Roman history. Even if it was raining, the tour was unforgettable. Thank you!

The knowledge the Guide shared was unbelievable! They shared pictures of the times along with what we experienced made the tour that much more exciting. You could hear the Guide clearly which was important to me. Definitely a great experience!

Great overview of the colosseum, Roman forum and associated historical landmarks. Would highly recommend as there's so much to see it's hard to do it all and learn the history without a tour guide.
