Incredible private tour with Fabio - We booked a private tour of the colosseum and had Fabio as our guide. He was excellent and this was a highlight of our trip. His knowledge was extensive and his energy and enthusiasm made the tour an amazing experience. The apertivo was much needed after a long day and the venue had stunning views. Cannot recommend Fabio and this tour enough.

A Great Tour with a Great Guide - My name is Frances, so when my husband and I met Francesca, I jokingly told her that we were twins! It turned out she had more in common with my husband in terms of the knowledge and interest. My husband asked tons of questions and Francesca happily answered them. I enjoyed her explanations and dispelling myths with facts. At the end of the tour, she took us to the rooftop bar where there was a misunderstanding about our reservation. She was very persistent in remedying the situation which I appreciated. All in all, a great tour with a great guide!
