Small guided tour is the only way to go - Our guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed the Forum and the Palatine Hill. This is our second visit - the first was without a guide and we vowed to return with a guide, which made all the difference. Expensive but well worth it

Colosseum underground tour - We actually did the colosseum underground tour. Carlotta was our guide. Her English is excellent and easy to understand, but her Italian accent is lovely. She was able to tell a lot of detail about what we were seeing. The tour was better than I expected.

The Coliseum--A Rome Must Do! - The coliseum is amazing! Our tour guide, Valentina, was informative, friendly and attentive to all tour members. She stopped to educate us when appropriate and her explanations were easy to understand. It rained off and on during our time on this tour, but that did not deter us.

Colosseum and Forum come alive - Valentina was a delightful guide who helped make the Colosseum and Roman Forum come alive, sharing her knowledge of the history and architecture. We appreciated how she navigated us through both areas during rain and wind making this a worthwhile visit in spite of the weather.

A long tour. - The tour covered all of the areas listed. I just felt that there was too much standing around. We moved at a slow pace, but that may have been due to the group. I would have liked to hear more history rather than opinion of how history has been rewritten. Photos of the ruins would be nice to help visualize.
