Wonderful experience exploring the Colosseum, the Forum and super sites with our personal guide. Andy was attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable. We all enjoyed the day including our two college age sons who said it was the best part of our time in Rome. I can’t recommend this experience, or our guide Andy, enough!

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Lucy, who made our visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum truly memorable. Lucy’s knowledge is exceptional — she gave us a comprehensive and genuinely informative overview of both iconic sites, while also introducing us to some lesser-known gems that we never would have discovered on our own. She anticipated our questions before we even asked them, and made sure we had plenty of time to soak in the surroundings and take photos throughout. The pace was perfect — never rushed, always engaging.

Our guide Marco was amazing. He guided us through Tivoli, Hadrian’s Villa, the Colosseum, and the Imperial Palace/Roman Forum. Very knowledgeable about the sites, and was great answering questions of the adults and kids alike. It was a fantastic addition to our trip to Rome.

Our tour guide, Selenia, made sure to show us important features of the Forum and the Colosseum as expected. The palace tours and the visit to the oldest Christian church in Rome were great additions and we truly loved to see them. Highly recommended. Six out of five stars.
