Terrible

1.00If I could give this a -5 star experience I would. We had booked this trip a year in advance and this was one of the first tours we booked. We received no word about the tour being canceled and the day we were going to take the tour we received zero communication about where to meet. When I reached out to the company, they then and only then notified us that the tour was canceled. Terrible customer service, do not use this tour. Take your money and spend it somewhere else.
We really enjoyed taking...

5.00We really enjoyed taking in the sights & history of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Roman Forum with our tour guide, Sara. A 3 hour private tour is the way to go to really experience this place and for a little while feel like you are back in time. You won’t be disappointed. Grazie Sara from your new Chicago friends!

5.00Fabio was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge, stories, and presentation of the Coliseum really made us feel like we were there in the day to day life of all who had entered before us. He is so passionate about this beautiful historical site you can’t leave his tour or that place and not love the memories you made. Our entire family learned so much about the Coliseum and the history in those 3 hours and it was FUN!!! If you’re hesitant on a solo tour DONT be spend the extra money, you won’t be disappointed. You can hear him, you get to see everything you would want to see, and you can ask as many question as you need, it’s like you’re meeting up with a friend to go for a walk.
