5.00A highlight of our visit to Rome. Our guide Berk was great. Lively, told exciting stories, with background information and diagrams. Very pleasant and clear voice. For me one of the best tours I've had. A real highlight. Absolutely recommended.

5.00This is a well worth it experience to not only skip the general admission line, but also to be guided in a small group environment. Our tour guide was an expert on the historical relevance of the Forum and he brought to life the activities of the gladiators and Roman crowds who cheered on their favorites. We were in awe the entire time!
Nice guide but difficult to hear her.

3.00The archeological places on the grounds around the outside of coliseum. Guide was nice but talked really fast and difficult to understand. Audio system was very poor. Was very very crowded in coliseum.
Informative Roman Tour

5.00We had two tour guides Tiziana Fiori and I think I remember his name, Mossimo. They were both informative and interesting and at times entertaining. Being sure to keep us safe and in the shade. Thank you.
Worst tour we have ever been on

1.00Our guide was American from California and didn’t give us cohesive history information- it was hard to hear him and we were out in a separate group from our friends which was completely irritating We flew all the way to Rome and our experience with this tour was terrible. Our guide walked so fast and it was so crowded that we lost him at least 4,5 times and had to spend time trying to find him and keep up. Our friends had a much better guide and got so much more out of their tour. We ended up leaving the tour 3/4 way thru because it was so awful. This was our first Viator tour and most likely our last. We learned nothing what so ever from it And it was $140 We asked for a refund and only got 1/2 put money back
Great Tour

5.00We had a great time on the tour. As I write this can not remember her name(older lady with blonde hair that carried a Hawaiian flower Lao as an identifier) did an amazing job. She had a wealth of knowledge and was excited to share it. She advised us where good spots were to take photos. Couldn’t have asked for more in a guide, she was great.

5.00This was an excellent and very informative tour. Mauricio was an awesome tour guide with a wealth of information. We had 11 people in our small group which I feel is the perfect size. Mauricio made sure we were all together and took great care of us.
Skip the line is great!

5.00Gianluca was an excellent tour guide! I loved his explanations of everything and felt he really took his time with us. Our tour was at 1pm and it was very sunny and hot so he always made an effort to find a shady spot for us. I most enjoyed our time on Palatine Hill and the amazing views.
