What a scarf! - Met Sylvia, our wonderful guide, who braved the coldest day of the year with us (cold and wind!!!), offered up her scarf and her knowledge of the history of the Colosseum! Had a delightful and informative tour. Thank you Sylvia!

Tour couldn’t have been better - We had an outstanding tour of the Colosseum and Forum. Count yourself lucky if you have Lorena as a guide — her grasp of the history and storytelling of both locations is so rich and deep and she has an amazing energy. I truly felt like I learned not just the what of the Colosseum and Forum but the why behind them as well. Lorena took her time explaining everything we looked at in great detail and found ways to weave everything together to create a sense of the chronological history of everything. Highly recommend!

The Eternal City! - Great experience in a magical city! Glad I chose this tour to share the experience with. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, and we had many short breaks (which you will need) to take photos and have a quick breather.

Excellent tour - Francesco was insightful. The colloseum and surrounding areas are places you must see in person. Pictures don't do it justice! The area is very busy but the tour is well organized.

Much better than walking by yourself - This was my second visit to the Colosseum and the Forum. I wanted to choose a guided tour this time, as I found it challenging to navigate the Forum alone during my first visit. I also wanted to learn more about what I was seeing. I am delighted that I decided to book a tour; it was well worth it! David was an excellent guide. He shared a wealth of information, brought additional pictures with him, and made the entire experience much more enjoyable than walking alone. I highly recommend this experience; it was very well-organized, and David was knowledgeable, polite, and entertaining. I learned so much during this tour thanks to him!

Definitely book this tour!! - Had the best time on this tour with Sylvia! We learned so much history and amazing facts about Roma. The tour was a few hours long and it was so interesting from beginning to end. Loved learning the history of the gladiators and I would highly recommend going with her to get an in depth tour of everything. I found them via Airbnb experiences and it was worth every penny. Thank you Sylvia !!!
