Absolutely amazing experience with Said. He was attentive to everyone and was a wealth of knowledge. I can’t imagine seeing the colosseum any other way.

Said was amazing! So enthusiastic and informative. There’s so much to take in, and you really get the whole experience by going underground first. There is so much we never would have known or seen if we hadn’t done this tour. Having such a small group was great as well. It really felt personal and and definitely worth the money!

100% would recommend this tour. I am very happy I paid a bit extra for the small group as it really made it a more enjoyable experience in the crowded colosseum and worth it for me to have a more personalized guide. Eni was excellent from the start. We were a group of 6 total with multiple generations. He immediately learned everyone’s names and connected w each person throughout, ensuring that the most senior people were comfortable with the stairs etc. also a young girl on our tour fell ill due to the heat and he handed it extremely professionally and patiently and helped coordinate with the colosseum staff to ensure she was taken care of. I really enjoyed seeing the underground and learning more about the gladiators themselves while also learning about the structure. Tons of fascinating info and one of the highlights of my visit to Rome. Best of 3 organized tours I took. Highly recommend to anyone visiting. Also worth noting it includes the full experience ticket which is 24 euro by itself. This ticket lasts 24 hours which was great as I went to the Roman forum first thing the following morning instead of immediately after colosseum when it was very crowded and hot.

This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Rome. Eni was super knowledgeable and entertaining and patiently answered all of our questions. Mada was super sweet and very helpful too. Everyone from my mom to my husband to our teenage kids loved the tour. It is worth every penny and we would highly recommend it!
