Ask for Marcius! - Our tour guide Marcius was absolutely amazing. We learned so much about the colosseum, palatine hill and Roman forum. Meeting point was away from the hustle and bustle that it made for an easy check in. Adequate stops for bathroom and water. He always made sure our whole group was there before moving on to our next stop. Skip the line access was a breeze and Marcius explained the process as we moved. Accessibility: a few steep staircases and very little shade on the colosseum floor, but that is to be expected. After going on another 3 guided tours during our visit to Italy, it was clear that Marcius and his team put together the best tour out of our entire time in Italy. Each time we went on a different tour, we would look at eachother and say “wasn’t as good at Marcius”. Ciao!!

An excellent 2 hours spent learning some history with Marcius - We had a great time walking around the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum with Marcius as our guide - he was excellent and made the tour so much better than walking through these areas on our own and reading the information. We never felt rushed and Marcius knew exactly when to stop and explain the history and really helped us visualise the grandeur of what the area would have looked like 2000 years ago. The colosseum part of the tour was also excellent, with lots of tidbits about the structure and general format of how the gladiator battles would have worked (if you are really into your history I would suggest a longer tour of the Colosseum as you get a 20 minute slot). The tour was well organised with the exception of the meeting point not having the 'white flags' out when we arrived. You are given an earpiece which worked well and made it easy to take pictures and do your own thing whilst Marcius was still talking. Salute Marcius! From Miles (SPQR gladiator) & Josephine, UK

visit to the colosseum, palatine hill, forum - Elida was very amazing, super informative, kind, helpful and very knowledgeable :) really enjoyable experience :)) definitely recommend booking in advance though as i think it will be cheaper (for two young people travelling it was lowkey out of budget)

Sergio saves the day - Sergio was incredible. He rushed in to help someone who fainted from the heat on our tour. (Older person and it was mid 90’s out). Sergio jumped to the rescue and got support immediately. Not to mention, he shows you things in the colosseum that you otherwise would’ve walked right on by. 10/10. Highly recommend Sergio for the tour!
