Our first tour in Rome - We had Manola as our guide, and she was wonderful. Knowledgeable, funny, patient, just great. The tour was done by Touriks, and as this was our first tour we have to say we were pleased.

Unlocking Ancient Rome's Hidden Gems - This tour was a masterfully guided journey through some of ancient Rome's most iconic sites with access to exclusive Arena floor access. Lars, our expert guide brought the ancient world to vivid life, explaining how gladiators prepared for combat in the Underground chambers or providing the Arena floor perspective of what it felt like to step into this massive amphitheater. Lar's knowledge transformed crumbling ruins into a compelling window into daily Roman life, with our guide piecing together the past from ruins and artifacts

Great guide; excellent tour company - Our guide was very informative and readily answered any questions any participant presented to her. She made sure we all stayed together and pointed out. Many interesting facts along our journey. I also want to give a shout out to this particular tour. When I originally booked, the underground tunnels were offered as part of this particular tour. However, several months after the booking it had to be modified due to restrictions placed on all tour operators regarding the underground tunnels of the Colosseum.Mia at the tour company contacted me immediately and offered a partial refund due to the change in how this tour was initially presented. I thought it was excellent service.
