Amazing guided tour with Leo
Leo was great! we learned a lot and enjoyed amazing views too! Thank you Leo.
Amazing tour
Jak was impeccably knowledgeable about the Roman Empire and the history of Rome, it was beyond interesting learning about ancient history and an incredible experience overall!
Stay Away from Crown
What a terrible experience. The guide mumbled through the entire walk. He rushed us in and out of places just so he could stand in the shade. No one could understand him. He cut off places we should have seen and rushed the whole tour. At the end, which should have been 3 hrs and ended up being 2, he told us that we only could be in the park for 3 hrs. We found out later that our ticket was good for the entire day and even more experiences in the park. This was 1 of 2 experiences we had booked with Crown. Both were terrible. If you are choosing a tour group, go with LivTours or Walk Italy or Welcome Italy! They were Amazing!
Fresh out of the oven
Teresa was a great Guide! Event in the hot weather of 38°C in the middle of the sun the tour was evenly paced and not to taxing on one self. We got many valuable information of the different sites. Would recommend.
5/5 - Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum
Visiting the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum in August is not for everyone. August is incredibly hot in Italy, however, this did nothing to take away from the experience. The views were gorgeous and there was so much history to absorb. There were so many photographic and aesthetic opportunities! Zara was great, very informative, and compassionate to those that needed breaks for water. The tour was educational and well worth the money. Having priority to skip the lines for the colosseum was of exceptional value considering the heat!
