A new perspective…

What a great private tour with Paula! She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She had tons of information with bits of interesting facts you wouldn’t get without her expertise. When you put together her stories and the complete view of the ruins, Rome must have been magnificent in those days. Seeing it in person presents a much larger impression than reading books on the subject. Well worth the time and expense. Even better with Paula.

Very interesting and fun activity for the family

We had a very nice afternoon at the Colosseum with our family. Our guide, Donato, captivated us throughout the tour with his interesting stories, knowledge of the facts, kindness and patience. Our children, aged 14,13 and 9, found it super interesting. They were given plenty of space to ask questions, take pictures and do a little quiz. Prior to the tour there was regular communication with Lara. She has advised us well in which tour and guide would suit us best. Compliments to her, too. Very customer-oriented!
