Tour of the Colosseum

Published on Jan, 2025

Sara was a wonderful guide. Spoke very good English. Was very considerate and attentive to our needs and took some good pictures for us as well and showed us some great spots around the Roman forum and colosseum

Alessio was a wonderful guide who made our visit to Ancient Rome truly memorable

Published on Dec, 2024

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!

Great Tour!

A Memorable Experience at the Palatine Hill and Colosseum with Sara

Published on Dec, 2024

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!
