Davide was an awesome guide - Davide was incredible. Even in the blistering sun he made time go quick with his witty humor and great depth of knowledge. This tour was perfect, so good we booked with him again afterwards. Must book with him!

Great tour! - Our guide, Radu, was EXCELLENT! He was very knowledgeable and shared stories from Roman history in a way that translated into today’s world. I had taken this tour several years ago with my husband and this time I was with my friend. I learned completely different things! Radu was entertaining and personable— I highly recommend this tour. (Ask for Radu!)

Fantastic tour! - This was such a great tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable, fun and genuine. She really took the time to explain the magnitude of everything we were taking in and left everyone with deeper knowledge of the historical significance of it all. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience - This tour was awesome - Adnan was a brilliant guide. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and engaging with plenty of great stories to tell. We did it with two young kids 10&8 and he was great at engaging with them and answering questions. Would highly recommend this tour.

Two amazing tours, one phenomenal guide (David Battalion) - A tour is only as good as the guide. We did two tours with David Battaglino (Colosseum and Pantheon). These were stunning historical sites brought to life by our formidable guide, David. David was educational, entertaining, funny, and no nonsense. His ability to guide us through a crowd and make space for us to enjoy and take pictures was masterful. David also recommended places to eat and visit and avoid in Rome...and every recommendation was spot on. Our young son Hugo said, "That if all the guides in the world had a competition, that David would beat them all!"

Use the tour for skipping the line but do the rest on your own - We had David as a guide and it wasn’t as informative or detailed as I would have liked, the colosseum bit was quite interesting nonetheless. But the Palatin Hill was just straight boring and way too long and unstructured. We could have read the Wikipedia article and gone through the site ourselves would have been much more fun AND knowledge.
