BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME - Stefano Saraceni (tour in Rome and Transfer) was absolutely the best. My family and I had a bucket list experience that was second to none. The highlight of our Cruise experience in the Mediterranean. Stefano was very friendly, accommodating, and had a wealth of knowledge about things to see in Rome. Thank you!

Brava Silvia! Colosseum, P.H., and Roman Forum tour was amazing! - Silvia Rana was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! The day started out stressful because our tickets printed by our travel agent stated the start of the tour was 30 minutes later than what the real tour started. We received a call from City Wonders stating Silvia was waiting for us before she started the tour. We arrived as quickly as possible and Silvia quickly put us at ease, and got us all checked in for the tour. Her knowledge of Ancient Rome is second to none. You can tell she is living her passion by giving tours and doing archeological digs. She is the best!

Rubbish audio guide - Don’t get the audio guide. It is neither logical, intuitive to follow nor does it relate to the way in which you are guided around the venues. Trying to figure out where you are resulted in both consumption of time and increasing frustration resulting in ditching the guide and sticking to broadly inadequate written guides at the venues. The Torre guide that took us to the gate was great but sadly the audio guides was better consigned to the bin

Rip off - It was hot. It was crowded. It was the colosseum and agora. We could have bought a timed ticket (€18) without the middleman for less than half the price .
