Colosseum Tour; Truly incredible tour. Well worth every penny for skip the line and tour of key points along the Colosseum and Colosseum floor. Without this tour we would have missed the Roma Forum. We had “Hollywood” knowledge going into this tour. After our tour with Rich, we had a vast understanding of Ancient Roma history from the creation of the city up until the days of Mussolini. You’ve spent time and money to get to Rome, spend the extra on a guide. It’s priceless!

It was a hot day, but the guide made sure to stop at all the water spots and let us cool off and fill up water bottles. The guide was knowledgeable, organized, and on time!
