4.00Excellent tour guide and took us to nice areas for pictures. Although, we did lose him for a bit when he exited the Colosseum and we had no clue. We had to run around Palantine Hill to find him (via our headset that would pick up on his voice as we got closer)
Fantastic tour! Skipping...

5.00Fantastic tour! Skipping the ticket queues saved hours. Our guide was passionate and clear, turning the ruins into gripping stories of gladiators, emperors, and ancient crowds. The Colosseum is astonishing up close, the Forum feels like walking through history, and Palatine Hill offers stunning views over Rome. Small group, great headsets, perfect pace. Easily the highlight of our Rome trip and the best way to understand the city’s ancient heart. Highly recommend!
Great tour!

4.00Well organized, but a bit rushed through the tour. I would have preferred a simple skip the line ticket. Guide was actually very nice and informative, but we rushed through the tour, and got separated with others as well through the security sections. Rushed to catch up. Take your time and stroll through the wonderful site at your own pace.
