5.00Our group of friends didn’t think a history tour could be this fun. Eni cracked jokes, told dramatic tales, and kept us all captivated. The underground level was eerie but fascinating, and the arena floor view was unforgettable. We booked despite mixed online feedback and were thrilled we did. It was perfectly organized and far more engaging than expected. We left sweaty, happy, and full of respect for ancient engineers.
Best Way to See the Colosseum!!

5.00We expected a quick visit, but it turned into one of the most emotional moments of our trip. The tunnels felt ancient and alive. Eni guided us with such sensitivity, letting the silence and space tell their own stories. We’d hesitated to book after reading about unpredictable tours, but it went exactly as promised. Standing together on the arena floor, surrounded by echoes of history, was pure magic.

5.00We took our two children, and they couldn’t stop asking questions. Eni answered every one with patience and humor, turning a history lesson into an adventure. Seeing the underground lifts and animal cages was fascinating for them—and for us. We were a little anxious because of reviews about scheduling, but everything worked out seamlessly. It’s rare to find something that excites both adults and kids equally, but this tour did just that.

5.00I’ve toured many ancient sites, but nothing compares to stepping under the Colosseum. The air is cooler, the stone walls whisper. Eni’s explanations balanced precision and passion, making the entire place come alive. We’d read a few worrying comments about late cancellations, but our tour started right on time and was run perfectly. When we stood on the arena floor at the end, sunlight hitting the ruins above us, everyone went silent. A breathtaking experience.

5.00We booked this for our last day in Rome, and it couldn’t have been better. The kids were fascinated by the pulleys and lifts, and Eni made sure they understood everything without making it feel like a classroom. His sense of humor kept them engaged. We saw reviews online about cancellations but had none of that trouble. Everything ran smoothly. Standing as a family on the arena floor, imagining the cheers of ancient crowds, gave us chills.
Highly recommended

5.00Fabulous tour, full of facts and interesting perspectives. It was fun, relaxing, interactive, personable, inclusive and smooth lots of in-depth knowledge. It was very relatable to modern day society and presented on how our cultures were so similar. English was excellent and clear with the ability to speak a variety of other languages clearly, making it very inclusive.

5.00I’d been to the Colosseum years ago but never saw what lay beneath. This time, thanks to Eni, I finally did. His voice echoed softly as he told stories of gladiators and engineers, of bravery and spectacle. The underground atmosphere was unforgettable. No problems with scheduling, no confusion—just a flawless experience that left me awestruck. Easily one of the best tours I’ve ever taken in Rome.
Spectacular experience!

5.00Nice underground tour and sand! Our guide Eni was excellent! The tour was designed in English but as Eni speaks Spanish I can translate some things to my mom. It is really worth taking this tour!!
