Loved it!! - Our tour guide Rita was absolutely fabulous, super knowledgeable and so much fun to be around! We loved that she showed us pictures to depict how it looked originally to how it looks today. I’d go as far to say as for a tour with Rita!! Thanks for a wonderful experience in Rome.

Great Tour - Tour was great and recommended. Roger our guide was great. Explained everything well with the appropriate amount of detail and humor to keep us engaged even with tweens. Appreciated how he gave clear instructions, water breaks, made sure group was together and made all attempts to keep us in the shade during the intense heat.

Great tour, lots of information - This was a great tour, the hotel pick-up was key. It set the tour off on the right foot. The communication for the tour office was excellent. The guide was knowledgeable. There is a lot of walking involved.

Rita is the BEST tour guide in Rome!!! - We had an amazing tour with Rita! She is passionate, energetic, upbeat and funny! I was ready to give up on guided tours after a very bad experience luckily Rita made me change my mind! At the end of the tour she took pictures of every single family in a nice spot in the colosseum! It was a great ending to an AMAZING tour! Thanks Rita! You are the BEST!

The price fits the experience. - The pick up was great to have from our hotel but the van was filthy. After getting to the Colosseum the tour was really good. It’s very hot and no shade so bring hats sunscreen and water.
