Our guide was so knowledgeable. She brought pictures to help us see what it looked like in the past which was really helpful. I brought my 9 year old son, and she made sure he could see and also incorporated him in some of her examples. I was really happy to see that type of engagement. I can tell she’s passionate about what she does. She made Roman history come to life. The tour was amazing but having our guide really made it more exciting.

Good tour but it was hard to hear a guide. I don’t know if it was the headsets but it was just muffled sounds and we only got bits and pieces of the information

Walking tour through the Colosseum (upper levels, ground, and arena) + Roman Forum + Palatine Hill. Our tour was led by Tanya who was the basis of the 5-stars: energetic and friendly, considerate to all attendees, informative, and with a wonderful, animated sense of humour. Her presence turned an interesting tour of the monuments into an enchanting occasion. Compared with other monument tours we did during our holiday, we felt this was the best experience we had, and made our visit to Rome worthwhile.
