5.00We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Colosseum and Palatine Hill with Louisa, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Louisa is a true historian, and her passion for ancient Rome made every moment of our tour come alive. Her depth of knowledge is astounding — she didn’t just walk us through the sites, she transported us back in time with vivid storytelling, fascinating facts, and insight you’d never get from a guidebook. She answered all our questions with ease, tailored the experience to our interests, and made even the smallest details feel meaningful. We left feeling completely in awe of the history — and so grateful to have had Louisa as our guide. If you’re planning a visit to the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, do yourself a favor and request Louisa!

5.00Denis was the absolute best private tour guide we could’ve ever asked for! We have 2 kids, a 12 year old and a 3 year old (who sat in a stroller). Because we had a stroller and children with us, having a private tour guide is an absolute must, and one that is patient, knowledgeable, experienced with the sites and a great person altogether. Denis was all of those things. He shared so much interesting history and facts both at the Roman Forum and the Colosseum that we couldn’t miss, offered to take pictures for us to commemorate moments and our toddler was playful with him throughout the tour which means he made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. At times where there was more information he shared, he made sure we were in a shaded area in the heat. He knew exactly where the stroller/accessible access points were which made our tour very efficient and smooth. We absolutely highly recommend to request Denis for your next private tour and visit to Rome! We would definitely book with Kai tours and specifically Denis again! Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations and creating such an unforgettable experience for my family’s first time in Rome!
