Perfect way to see Colosseum and forum. - We had a small 4 person private tour with Denis P. My wife and I had been there before but the other couple we were with had not. We were very fortunate that we had Denis As our tour guide. The weather was horrible and you would think this might cut it short or leave out something. Nope. Not with Denis. He was very courteous and professional. This was well worth the money and I would do it again. He was a ton of knowledge and a right laugh. Thank you Denis. You made our trip a memory we will never forget.

Great guide and tour - Excellent guide ( Dennis ) who is obviously passionate and very knowledgeable on his subject. His manner was very friendly and presented fascinating facts and stories about this iconic landmark. We left much the wiser and enthused to know more. Highly recommend.

Awesome Tour and Guide - We did a small group (7 people) tour of the Coliseum and Roman Forum and it was worth every penny. It was fantastic and our tour guide Francesca was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and enthusiastic. She came with a binder full of pictures that she used as reference when she was explaining something. This was very helpful and not something all the tour guides did. During the tour we quickly realized that we had lucked out and gotten the best guide. If you do a tour with Together in Rome , ask for Francesca and you won’t be disappointed.

Worth The Money! - We absolutely loved our tour with Together In Rome. I would 100 percent recommend this tour for anyone looking to visit the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. First of all, you're able to skip all of the lines -- we went in July and the line outside to even get into either of these locations looked over an hour long -- in the heat. Secondly, our guide Francesca was super knowledgable, friendly, and I learned so much on the tour -- we had a small group tour of eight which was a nice number. It was great to get the context of the history of where we were visiting and I felt like she really brought everything alive. There aren't tons of things you can read in either location; and when there is some historical background reading on a sign or something it's always very crowded -- so it was worth the money to have your own guide. Plus, Francesca was extremely enthusiastic, open to questions, and really knew her stuff. 100 percent take this tour.

Wonderful Colosseum Tour with Alex! - My fiancé and I had an amazing tour with Alessandro (Alex)- we could tell is just one second that he was exactly the best tour guide in Rome! He was knowledgable and entertaining, and he was very patient with some of the other members of our tour group who needed extra time. He also captured our absolute favorite photo from the trip at the top of the Palatine with the whole city in view. We would definitely recommend this experience.

Great tour of collesium - Rachelle was one of the nicest tour guides on our trip to Italy. She was very informative and took the time to explain everything. This is a great tour company in Rome and would definitely recommend this tour and others when visiting for the first time.

Amazing tour with a fantastic guide Francesca Calvani - We joined a small group tour with Francesca to discover the Colosseum and its surroundings. Francesca really brought the tour to life with her vast knowledge and interesting stories dating back to ancient times. We were impressed by the quality of this tour and would recommend it to everyone visiting Rome.
Thank you again Francesca for a great day in your beautiful city.
Ciao :-)
