We had Julia as our guide and we could not have been happier with the guided tour and her. The amount of knowledge, facts and stories she could tell was incredible. Great tour and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience with a really knowledgeable guide. Small group which was great, instant access and a fascinating insight into the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. Well worth it and one of the best tours Illee have ever been on!

Elizabeth was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed every moment of the tour! She taught us the difference between the original and modern construction in the colosseum which we wouldn't have figured out if we went on our own.

If you are lucky enough to have Claudia as your guide - you are in for a treat. Personal, intelligent and well organized - she will guide you through the sometimes overwhelming ancient ruins of Rome beautifully.
