Radu was Perfection - Radu was a brilliant guide, he was informative and really bought the tour to life with laughs along the way, the company were extremely professional and when we asked for the tickets early as we wanted to visit the Roman Forum early, they sent the tickets on watsapp which made it easy for us to use

Unmissable afternoon out, interesting and fun, saw things and learnt facts that we'd have missed doing it alone - Andrada was a superb guide, so knowledgeable, interesting, and her passion and humour brought the history to life. Very interactive tour, didn't feel like we were being 'talked at' in a monologue, she was full of animation and genuine joy when sharing her vast knowledge.  We were able to ask lots of questions, which she had all the answers to. She pointed out things we wouldn't have seen for ourselves, immersed us in experiences as it would have been back in the glory days of the Colosseum, such as how the Emperor would have viewed it. We enjoyed that as adults, I'm sure kids would love the re-enactment! The facts she shared at the Forum were mind blowing, the sheer skill, engineering and cost of the structures is literally incredible (in the true sense of the word), we walked around with our jaws dropping at every sight while Andrada explained where they came from, how they were built, and what the may have cost, comparing it to some modern day projects that made us realise that the Romans were truly exceptional in all aspects of life. The tour took 3 hours, plenty of stops for fact sharing, photos and toilets. Walk was mainly flat although some slopes and steps as would be expected but Andrada took it at our pace. She then bid us farewell and left us to continue exploring by ourselves. Queue jumps saved time and along with the things we learned, made it really good value for money. Absolutely loved it and so glad we did it this way, especially with a guide as good as Andrada.

Rome - Fabulous, informative tour guide. Learned much about the Colosseum and The Forum - probably most importantly a lot of myths debunked.

Amazing experience, patient and lovely guide! - Our guide was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and was so kind and patient with the million questions our children asked. We loved the tour and the information associated with the feeling of a “behind the scenes” look.

Spectacular experience and guide - Adriana was an AMAZING guide. She was not only kind & patient but especially knowledgeable. I learned so much and she tried to keep us in the shade when possible to stay cool on a hot July day of almost 90*. Grazie Adriana!

Disappointing tour - Our guide tried hard and did her best, but her English was very difficult to understand. She did not speak well enough to add any additional details or stories that make tours enjoyable. Not what you get from an experienced Rome English speaking tour.

Disappointing - While we got to see the Colosseum and the Forum on a gorgeous meeting, our tour guide was extremely soft spoken and unenthusiastic, adding nothing to the experience.

No Tour / No refund - Sadly we paid £150 but my son who’s 12 and I were not allowed in Colosseum as I needed my passport to get in and I wasn’t keen on taking my passport round Rome as directed by this company , my other id was declined . So sadly my son was very upset but we we were ushered away from the group and out. Contacted the company and got an automated response very blunt . Sadly no tour and lost all my money .
