Paula is Roman native and anthropologist and brought insightful information and history. She was dedicated and provided valuable information in this jam-packed 3 hour tour. The time flew by.

5.00Marco was an absolutely amazing tour guide for the Colosseum tour! He was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. You can tell he’s passionate about the history of Rome, and he made the entire experience so interesting and engaging from start to finish. He explained everything in a way that was easy to follow while still sharing so many fascinating details and stories. What really stood out was his personality — he kept the group entertained the whole time and made everyone feel welcome. The tour would not have been the same without him. Highly recommend booking with Marco if you want an informative, fun, and memorable experience at the Colosseum!
