Top rated experience
Well communicated reservation and meeting point. Our guide was first rate. She took a lot of time with us and was very well versed on her archeological history and cultural understanding of Ancient Rome
Can’t go wrong with a Private Tour with Bogdan
We had an excellent experience with Bogdan at the Colosseum and Roman Forum. He was warm, engaging, knowledgeable and highly informative that we came away learning more from him than any other tour we had in the past at both these monuments. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to not just learn but enjoy stories, pictures and facts that make history exciting for our teenage nephew who after 8 hours maybe wasn’t so excited about another tour. Bogdan is one of the best!
Excellent Tour
Our experience was very good. However we paid $800 for a private tour of the Colosseum and the underground. Our guide told us numerous times that she was not able to come down to the underground tour, and so we negotiated that part of the tour on our own. However this was the very reason we booked an expensive private tour; to have a tour guide the entire time.
Just WOW. If you get the...
Just WOW. If you get the opportunity to do this tour, jump at it. Walking where the gladiators once stood is once in a lifetime experience, and our guide Rosi was simply amazing. Highly recommended!!!
Fun, informative tour of Colosseum
Bogdan was so fun, friendly and informative. He is a great story teller, bringing history to life for our group. He was caring and showed concern for one of our party whose leg began to bother her, and he altered our tour a bit to accommodate her. I would highly recommend Bogdan for your next tour!
