Very expensive for having a guide that was not engaging and rushing us around. Paid for a 3 hour tour and maybe got 2 hours. Do not recommend
Inspired tour!

Our guide Ellie was amazing. Her knowledge of history and architecture was remarkable and her presentation was wonderful. Her business card read 'storyteller' which is the perfect description. She made the Coloseum come to life. We learned so much.
great tour and well worth the money

This was a great tour and well worth the money. Stefania showed us around the Colosseum, explaining the architecture, explaining what we were seeing from the floor, giving us a view from the emperor's box, etc, for about 1.5 hours. Then we walked over to the Forum and again she explained what we were seeing. She was also attentive to my desire to take photos here and there and our limited ability to climb a large number of steps. Overall a great tour!

Mirta was incredible! She understood our physical limitations and was extremely patient. She did an outstanding job of explaining things with just the right amount of background history to make it interesting. We would give 10 stars if we could.
