Grateful for our lovely and talented tour guide

5.00The tour was very long and having arrived from NY only a few hours previously, we were jet lagged and exhausted. That being said, we have so much appreciation for our tour guide, Alessandra who was so adorable and delightful. She managed to keep us engaged and entertained while delivering a plethora of information. She went above and beyond her duty as a tour guide. Before we were halfway through, she managed to learn all of our names and spoke directly to each of us all through the tour. She kept all 20 of us together and kept track of us at all times through crowds and changing locations. I was really having a hard time at the end because of the jet lag and she seemed to notice and kept trying to include me as she was talking so I stayed engaged. She was amazing. She is very sweet and kind and we thoroughly enjoyed her. Travelers should know that there is a lot of walking with cobblestones streets and stairs so wear comfortable shoes. Also it’s outdoors so you will be in the sun. The tour is long but very informative and we loved it.

5.00Alessandra was an amazing guide and highly entertaining. She provided fascinating insights into the amphitheater history and its importance to Roman culture. She looked after every person in the group and educated us on Roman history and showed us where some of the sites of some of the most iconic moments in Roman history.
Fun and informative

5.00Julia was a great guide, informative and funny! Would like to have finished in the forum rather than Colosseum to be able to explore more of the areas the tour doesn't cover.
Lots of walking and very informative

1.00Could not find our group got noticed that it was going to be delayed. Talked to four different leaders when one of them finally pointed to our group They had already gone in. And the gatekeeper said that we could not join the group very disappointing like a refund. It was total chaos at the meeting. Point way too many groups and our group leader had texted and said our group was starting late. Very, very disappointing.
