Great experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was Petrica. She was very knowledgeable, personable and engaging. The audio worked well. We really enjoyed our tour and have learned lots of interesting facts that will stay with us. Thank you.

A MUST DO on your first time to Rome!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was very informative and provided us these little "whisper ear pieces" so she could provide us information on what we were seeing. After walking through the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and some of the Roman Forum, the tour ended and we could walk through the rest of the Forum at our leisure.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Effective tour

Great and effective use of time! The guide was great at getting us through everything. Be ready to walk briskly and keep up- but a great way to see everything in a quick period of time .

Great tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a eye opening and educational (thanks to the erudite tour guide) day. This tour certainly justified our decision to do this over a DIY one.
