Our tour guide was Emily. She was very knowledgeable about the Colosseum and the Forum. She had a lot of little facts that we wouldn’t have known without having her. 10/10 would recommend

An awe inspiring tour. Our tour guide was beyond incredible. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and totally loving doing the tour. The areas we visited captured my imaginative because of how she described what we were looking at. Could not recommend her any more.

Our guide was amazing and she really knew her stuff. Everything you learn about the Colosseum is factual and they are able to show just how things used to look back in Ancient Rome compared to today, and can walk you through history. Palatine Hill was also part of the tour and you are able to see a typical Roman market would have been, and the center of public life. Some stairs are involved for portions of this tour so please keep that in mind.
