5.00Serena was great. She was a professional. Excellent guide providing thoughtful and knowledgeable insight information throughout the tour. I was amazed Serena was able to fit all we saw and learned into the few hours we spent together. I would not hesitate to take this tour. It was great to have such a small group, it was well worth the additional cost. We left the “skip the line tours” in the dust.
Colosseum and Ancient Rome… a must see!

5.00Good tour, but limited to the main level of the colosseum. Guide was extremely knowledgeable on the whole history of everything, but unless you are a real history buff, I'd skip everything after the colosseum.
Awesome Colloseum Experience
