Amazing tour guide!! Knew so much history. - Amir was the best tour guide. He had so many historical facts. My husband has an architecture degree and is a history buff, so this tour was perfect for us. It was a great walk into an ancient time. Major highlight was standing on a balcony and having Amir point out and explain the buildings in the Forum and hills of Rome to us.

Tolles Erlebins, toller Guide Marco! - A very good guided tour of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Our guide Marco has conveyed everything very interesting and with much joy and enthusiasm. We booked a guided tour of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Originally in German, but since no guide for the tour was available in German that day, we participated in the English one. Our guide was Marco, a very personable person. Great guidance, great photo spots, reasonable breaks, no time pressure and found time to respond to the questions of the participants. All in all, it was a lot of fun to follow his stories.

Good tour, wonderful guide. - Our guide was great and extremely knowledgeable. The last minute change of the meeting place confused many of the guests. The late arrival of the check-in crew had us all confused. No one knew if we had the right place to meet at.
