Historical View of the Forum and Coliseum - It was the first thing we did in Rome and it was hot and we were severely jet lagged. Our tour guide was great and we had a splendid time. Our guide even managed to get a great photo of my family on my camera which I really appreciate. It was a lovely morning. The tour was mostly of the Roman forum and the Coliseum with just a view from Palatine Hill.

Fantastic tour guide - Our guide Maria was fantastic and so knowledgable. The facts and stories that she told us about the Roman Forum and Colosseum really made you feel like you could see how it was back in its glory days. Not one part of the tour was rushed and any questions you had Maria always had the answer. There was plenty of time to stop whenever you wanted to take a picture. Would highly recommend booking a tour with this company!

Easiest way to understand Roman history - Very informative tour. Our guide Daniel gave us a good flavor of the history and architecture. It takes about 3.5 hours so plan accordingly with good shoes. There are some places to fill your water bottle. The tour took us to special areas in the Roman forum and Colosseum which were not available in general tickets. The ability to skip the long lines is a blessing!

Alessandro Knows the Colosseum! Awesome wealth of information! - Alessandro was AMAZING! He knew his history and shared his knowledge well, keeping the group interested and involved. Eternal experiences seemed a bit dis-organized in setting the meeting spot and it was a bit chaotic to start. If the company would sort itself, this would be a top tour. Alessandro did his part above and beyond!
