Our tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palantine Hill with Anita was excellent. She was very informative in her explanations of all of the buildings and ruins. I appreciated that she took such great care of our two girls- ages 7 and 10. She made sure to accommodate them and they enjoyed listening to all of the history. Highly recommend!

Anita was very knowledgeable and thorough in showing us the Forum, Palantine hill, and Colosseum. We loved the small group which was able to move at a faster pace than a large group, and it felt more personable. We were able to ask questions and chat with Anita to get more information and knowledge about what we were seeing. Having a your guide like Anita was well worth it to really have a good experience, and learn about the area. Walking around by ourselves would not have been nearly as interesting. We highly recommend Anita to tour in Rome!
