A stroll back in time 2500 years. - This was such an awesome tour. Our guide was super informative and relaxed. It was more a discussion between people, rather than a if you look to your you'll see blah, if you look to your right, you'll see blah. Definitely recommend.

Excellent tour - Alessandra lead an engaging and comprehensive tour of the Palentine hill and the forum. Her knowledge and love of history and of her home city allowed her to share deep insights into the Rome of today and yesterday. Thank you Alessandra for an excellent tour.

Rome walking tour - The tour was good and ok. Guide spoke good english and she knew the history or the place. Views were amazing! Loved seeing all the dark tunnels. Gorgous sunshine all day beating down on us. There was things that i didn't know. If i am do this tour again i think i would ask them if the guide would tell us their own stories of what happened there. 8/10 thank you loved my visit to the Colossero.

Book a private tour instead - I really think your experience depends on the guide. Our guide seemed very knowledgeable and passionate, but spoke too fast and with her accent, was hard to understand. Plus the earbuds are just one earbud, not two. So, you’re hearing all of the other visitors with the other ear. We also passed by many things in the forum and when one person asked what we just passed, she responded that it wasn’t important and there were better things to see. There was also another person who mistakenly called a room a ‘cave’ and she lectured her for quite a while. It was kind of embarrassing for her and the group who were giving each other looks. The following day, we came back with a private guide and the difference was night and day. Yes, a private guide costs more but if you’re from the US, how many times will you be able to get to Europe? Get the private guide. It’s worth it.

Subpar due to tour convergence - Our tour was combined into another tour which included Colosseum. Only half of forum area was toured. Palatine hill and Domus we did independently. guide was knowledgeable but eclectic.

Bad English - I was really looking forward to this tour and was very upset when our tour guide spoke very bad english. It was so bad multiple people left the tour within the first 20 mins because it was so difficult to understand what she was saying. The tour guide seemed very knowledgeable but it was hard to get anything out of the tour. Our group was pretty disappointed on how this tour turned out.

Very disappointing tour. Do not take with this service provider! - We were supposed to have a 105 minute tour that included the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Instead, we had a 60 min tour of mainly the Palatine Hill. The guide never explained the Roman Forum and we never went down for an explanation of this amazing site. So disappointing! We will never book with this company again! There are many many other tour providers that walk the ruins and have explanations in detail. Do those instead.

DO NOT USE VIATOR! - do not use Viator! They totally screwed me for a tour of Roman Forum. They use a subcontractor City Walkers who didn’t get me an entry voucher. I had to buy an individual ticket to gain entry, City Walkers was totally unresponsive to my immediate calls and texts. I will now have to challenge the Viator charge with my bank when I get home.
