Colosseum and surrounds. - Absolved the tour and all the valuable insights into Roman life that were given by our guide Danielle. To be able to go into the Colosseum and see the actual workings was terrific. Going early helped to beat the crowd. The Roman forum area was fascinating. Danielle accommodated a member of our group who needed a bathroom stop by going to a lesser used area early. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Carpe Diem tour with Selene - This tour was perfectto! Three things made this great. First, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. I learned more from her in 2 hours than I would have at a high level college course. Second, she was charming and engaging. Loved what she did and it was infectious. Third, pacing was just right. I wasn’t rushed and could ask questions. Wasn’t too slow either. I would use her and carpe diem again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic tour of the Colosseum and Forum! - Visiting the Colosseum and Forum were bucket list items for our trip. Giorgio was a wonderful guide - very knowledgeable of Roman history, which we appreciated. Be prepared to walk (including many stairs) and wear comfortable shoes, but it was so worth it! Great tour!

Engaging tour of the Coliseum - Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic!! He went out of his way to know everyone's name (there were about 14 of us in the group). Everyone was fully engaged as he used his props, and some individuals in the group, to demonstrate aspects of ancient times in the Coliseum. The tour was very informative and fun. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Highly recommend, Selene is a master tour guide. - Selene was absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and made the tour of the Colesseum. Her archeological knowledge enriched the entire experience where everyone was asking her so many questions. She created a great environment where everyone felt comfortable and brought out our curiosity.
