Must Do

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a standout experience of our around the world tour! Marianna (Marie) was our tour guide and she was incredible! Gave us a wonderful and interesting history of Rome, made it interactive factual but fun all at the same time! She spent time after giving us lists she’s compiled of the must visit and try locations in Roma, especially the food! If you head to the colosseum she can also help you find the current feline occupants, the 2 cats of the colosseum. A photo of Augustus is attached

A fabulous guided experience of Ancient Rome

The tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum was superb. We had a fabulous guide called Matteo who brought the whole magnificent area to life for us with interesting details of the past. Excellent and remarkable!

Her passion for the city and its history truly brought the sites to life and made the experience both memorable and fabulous. We greatly appreciate the care and effort she put into making the tour engaging and enjoyable for everyone.

Outstanding. Our guide, a font of knowledge who knew so much….Alexia/Alexiess…… sorry unknown of the spelling of her name yet she made the trip so special, with great humour too! Book this trip, you may be lucky enough to get her! Thank you.

Great way to experience the Coliseum.
