Laura was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining as she walked us through the Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill. This is a must do on your trip to Rome! If we had more time I would have loved to do the extended tour that included the colosseum underground. We did have a bit of an issue with the time - they changed the time of our tour and were not able to accommodate us to move to an earlier time so we had to leave the tour a bit early. I would have given them a poorer review based on this, but Laura shared that there have been changes made recently that make your companies have difficulty getting their slots and that there are litigations in process to try to correct this - so it really is out of their control. Perhaps it would be best to highlight this challenge in their page so that people can be more aware of this.

The tour itself is hard to find, give yourself an hour to find it. They sent me an update about the start time via email which I did not have access to since I was in Italy. They should have texted. Be aware that the tour is quite long with the least amount of time being spent in the Colloseum. On a positive note, our Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he was telling us.
