5.00A beautiful visit to discover the beauties of Antiquity. But it would take several more hours for the forum and/or Palatine.
Great experience (with Nadia)

5.00Great visit with NADIA. She was really very attentive and very clear in her explanations, filled with anecdotes and very useful information to understand the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. She was able to answer everyone’s questions perfectly and always made her story lively and enjoyable. Really an experience I recommend to be able to get a very complete overview of these ancient architectural ensembles. The price is a bit high but for a 3h visit, it was worth it.
Excellent visit

1.00Don’t use Georgia. She will leave you behind, rush you and don’t let you stop for the bathroom because she’s rushing THE WHOLE TIME! If I could give 100 negative stars I will.
