This was a great tour...

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a great tour with a lot of great information provided by our guide. The personal small group tour was nice as well. A must see for our trip.

You can feel the story of the gladiators

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a wonderful tour! Our guide was so informative but also helped play out the story of the Romans in our mind- you could see the gladiators and how they lived, you could feel the Roman market and how the emperor lived but was full of history, sights and stories. We loved it and it kept our attention!

This tour is a must do!

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour alongside an archeologist was absolutely amazing. Getting to see every facet of the Colosseum really brought history to life. Highly recommended!!!

Walking through history with a knowledgeable guide

Published on Nov, 2024

We ended up exchanging for a different tour that included guided tours in the Roman forum and the Palatine Hill instead of the underground of the Colesseum. it was a small group of 8 people. Our tour guide Manuel was very knowledgeable. The tour lasted about 3 hours and we learned a lot about the history of Rome while walking in the ruins. We did not feel rushed as Manuel paused at various places and answered all our questions in detail. It was a very special experience and very worthwhile.

Great experience

Knowledge of guide, groups could be a bit smaller so everyone isn’t cramped trying to see and hear guide at the same time
