This was our first time in Rome and this was a great way to see the coliseum and surrounding attractions. Our tour guide Realda was very informative and engaging and the headsets that we were given insured that we were able to hear all the information no matter how crowded an area was. I felt as though I had a much better understanding of what I was seeing and how it used to work and look. Our guide did a wonderful job painting a picture of what ancient Roman life was like. It was also nice that as a group we did not have to wait in the same lines as everyone else which saved us a lot of time. Our guide also made sure we had plenty of stops in the shade and by the free water fountains. Realda was also open to any and all questions that the group had and even gave some great suggestions for restaurants in the area when asked.

Our guide was excellent. It was a difficult day -- quite hot with brutal crowds and a few tour guests with special needs, and she kept everything together beautifully. Maintained a positive attitude and taught us all a ton about this incredible area of Rome.

I could not find the information about where we were supposed to meet up at the start of the tour so that was stressful, but once someone talked us through how to get there over the phone and we luckily were able to catch up to the group we had a great time. Our tour guide, Sandra, was very knowledgeable and fun, and of course the sightseeing was spectacular.
