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.
