Stefano was our guide and he was excellent. He was very conscientious of those slower in our group and with disabilities he went out of his way to make things smoother for us. He was so informative. He was a wonderful guide.

I can’t believe we saw and did so much in one day! The last time I visited Rome was 26 years ago and I just remember it being crowded, hot, and there was too much to see. But this trip was the complete opposite. Yes, it was still hot, but or guide did a marvelous job keeping us in the shade and showing us all the best tunings about Rome. I loved everything about this tour. He was thorough and taught us along the way!

It started off fun and our Tour guide was great but when it came time to enter and visit the inside of the colosseum we were refused access because “the tickets had been modified” and the colosseum staff couldn’t match our names to the names on the tickets. This was devastating as it was one of the main reasons for booking this tour. I don’t recommend this organizer, I would steer clear since this shows complete negligence on their part. My wife and I travelled from Canada and since it was our last day in Rome, we didn’t get to see the inside at all. Overall extremely disappointing
