Who knew getting a tour of the colosseum and Roman Forum would come with a Master Class exploration of Roman Culture and History. Alessia far exceeded our expectations. She is a true lover of art and history!! Grazie

We took this tour that included both the colosseum and Roman Forum/Palatine hill. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the site and was very good about keeping the group together and navigating the crowds. We did book an 8:30am tour but were then notified that it would be at 10:30. I would have prefered the 8:30am as it would not have been as hot but we managed to fill the morning by going to Santa Maria Majorie church beforehand, so it all worked out.

Marina was an excellent tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and we learned much about Roman history through her. Although we were out during peak tourist hours, our guide ensured that we stayed together and were able to see/learn about all the prominent sites in adequate time! We went on some other tours while in Rome, and this tour company and Marina were definitely our favorites!

Stefano was a superb tour guide - amusing, very knowledgeable, and led us to the perfect, less-crowded entry points! He pointed out many details we would have never seen otherwise! And did great with our small group of 6 - at the perfect slower pace!

We enjoyed such a great tour to the Colosseum and Palatine Hill area. Our guide, Frederico, gave an incredibly informative history of the formation of Rome while deftly navigating our group around crowds for great photo opportunities. Would highly recommend this tour!

We loved our guide Marina! Very knowledgeable and full of very interesting information about Palatine Hill, the ruins, and the Colloseum that really helped put all the history into perspective. She guided us expertly through the very challenging crowds and was very conscientious about our comfort and well-being. The microphone and earbuds made it very easy to hear everything she said despite all the chaos and noise. Definitely worth the premium for the semi-private tour - much more pleasant with a small group and much easier to get around.

This is our second tour with The Roman Guy at the Colosseum (the first was in 2018), and again we had the pleasure of being led by an intelligent archeologist who not only gave us the information she had planned, but also answered numerous detailed questions. She was also great with our kids, and all around charming! Could not be happier!
Amazing tour!
