Traveler reviews
This was a very...
This was a very informative tour! Our guide, Ting, was extremely knowledgeable and her descriptions of events almost made you feel as if you were there back in those days! My only regret is I wished I had booked this trip for first week of November as it was 95 degrees and smoldering hot!
Rather rushed at Forum....
Rather rushed at Forum. Would have liked sometime to study detail. Too large a group (23). Guide good though
This was a great tour...
This was a great tour that gave us a lot of information without it being overwhelming or getting boring. Definitely follow the suggestion to bring a refillable water bottle as it gets very hot. We were able to walk to the meeting point but it is right at one if the metro stops and we had no issues meeting up with the group. I enjoyed the 10 am start as we didn’t have to rush to get out in the morning the only downfall was it got very warm by the end of the tour but as long as dressed properly and have water it was still enjoyable! The Colosseum was the thing my daughter was looking forward to the most on this trip and this did not disappoint at all! Great guide, easy meet up, definitely worth booking!
A factual and engaging tour.
A thoroughly interesting tour of the Colosseum, Palentine Hill and The Forum (despite the rain) and Bogdan kept us engaged with such interesting and well pitched content throughout. The poor weather meant the tour was almost private, but he would deliver to a greater audience just as well. They provide radio transmitters and headphones so everyone can hear.
How culture is really fun
We had a very good guided tour with a sympathetic and extremely knowledgeable tour guide who responded very well to questions from the group and created a great tension in her head. This is how culture is really fun! Thank you for that!
