The experience was one of a kind. Our tour guide, Aphrodite, was very kind and super knowledgeable on all aspects of the Forum and Colosseum! She was willing to answer any question and was a great narrator of history

This was a very informative and enjoyable tour with an excellent guide. We loved being invited to imagine the historical events that had taken place right where we were standing. Entering the gladiator floor to the gladiator music was a hit with my son!!!!
