What a great tour and tour guide! - We enjoyed every moment with Radu. He was so entertaining and he was so knowledgeable, He had a great sense of humor and we were able to see so much on our walking tour. So glad I wore comfortable shoes. One of the best tours we have ever been on and our guide was simply the best!

Great tour and fantastic guide - Fantastic guided tour around the Coliseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum. Our guide Davide was brilliant. Very dry sense of humour and made the tour so much more. The Coliseum has always been on my bucket list to visit and we were not disappointed. Pursuant Hill and the forum just bring the whole experience of ancient Rome, that bit closer. The best tour we have done in Italy, and I recommend that you try and book with Davide as your guide.

Colleseum...didn't know that?? - Tour guide Radu was great. Knew a lot of information on history of Rome and sites. The colleseum was busy however time allowed good viewing and lots to see

Best tour guide ever!! - A guided tour is the only way to see these spectacles, and we had the absolute finest tour guide we've ever had anywhere. I believe his name is Radu, he speaks 6 languages and has two doctorates in history-he spoke to us with passion from his extensive knowledge of history, and even my often bored wife paid attention to his every word which is just not like her. Now that we are home she is raving to everyone about how wonderful this tour was thanks to our guide. If you can request this gentleman, I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy the tour.

The best tour guide I've met. - I met David Battaglino at sunset the day before our Colosseum tour when we couldn't find the guide for a different tour. Although his day was done he spent an hour helping us try to sort out our problem. We then booked his tour for the next day. He started with the usual question of our names and where we were from, but surprised me by remembering those details when we spoke directly during a Q&A hours later. His talks are fun. The unscripted stories of life 2,000 years ago let me see why this place is the way it is, but his use of humor throughout made it so much fun. This place is about as crowded as it can get. David still found small alcoves where we could sit as a group and talk about what we were seeing (Q&A sessions). His English is excellent and very easy to understand. I've had a harder time trying to understand some people from New Orleans. He is the best tour guide I've met, bar none, and genuinely cares about people. After we would move to a new location he would ask "OK, where's the baby?" and check on the welfare of the young couple and their little baby. One small warning. It is 3 1/2 hours , so go before you go. I only saw one bathroom with a line of 20 to 30 people waiting. I will leave this place with many memories of Rome, but I think the most most enduring will be from this tour with David.
