Great experience. Leo was excellent, patient, and knowledgeable. The tour starts in the colosseum and ends in the forum. You can stay there and explore on your own as long as you want. The group bypasses long lines and fast tracks through security.
Great to learn about the Collosseum

Rome is crazy busy, and the Colosseum is probably the most packed. Book 3 days in advance and a guided tour is essential to learn about everything and also to jump all the queues. Our guide, Vincenzo was really funny and brought it all to life.
Great experience

Our Viator / TripAdvisor tour was great and well worth the ticket price. Our guide, Julia, was super! She was very knowledgeable and friendly, we learned a lot from her - she made the whole experience very enjoyable. And, as you see the lines of people waiting to get in .. skipping the line is also a great benefit!
Loved it

If you get Leana you are in for a treat. I would imagine that all their guides are good but she was off the charts outstanding. The best guide I have ever had in Italy. Smart, charming and runs a great tour
