Will rebook again!
Maria was an exceptional tour guide for our visit to the Colosseum! Her knowledge of Roman history was impressive, and she brought the ancient ruins to life with her engaging storytelling. She was patient and very kind. Maria’s passion for the history and culture of Rome was contagious, and her insights added so much to the experience. We left with a deeper appreciation for the Colosseum and its significance, all thanks to her expertise. Highly recommend taking a tour with Maria!
Excellent Group Option
Guide was funny, personal and extremely knowledgeable. Our group had a wonderful time and everyone raved.
Amazing private tour of Colosseum and Forum!
Most tour guides carry flags...ours carried a blue light saber! Our private Colosseum tour (led by Giacomo) was amazing. We had 3 kids with us...Giacomo kept them engaged, was funny and taught them (and my wife and I too) a lot about the Colosseum and Forum! 2.5 hours was perfect length to do both Colosseum and Forum--Giacomo kept a good pace that wasn't too much for the kiddos but allowed us to see a lot of cool stuff!
Ancient Rome with an exceptional guide
We had two tours with Raphael this week, and were 100% happy with both. Yesterday, we spent 3 hours with Bruno, who escorted us around the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. It was an outstanding experience with the nearest thing to a true Renaissance man you could imagine. Thoroughly informed in a range of topics, with excellent English, and very personable. Bruno approached the sights from an original and interesting perspective. He made excellent use of our time. Highly recommended!
AMAZING! Tour guide Fabio is FAB!
Thank you SO much to Fabio from Raphael tours who gave us the tour of the Colosseum, Roman forum and Paletine hill. We had the best time and the tour was SO reasonably priced especially as we got to skip all the queues! Our tour was just 6 of us which was great and led by Fabio who was an archeologist, and was so enthusiastic and knew everything there was to know about Roman history! 5 stars! Would give more if I could :)
