Traveler reviews
Hopefully you get Mario as your guide
If you get Mario as your guide be prepared to have a GREAT time. Mario brought wonderful humor into the history tour. He’s by far as memorable as Palatine Hill. Using Viator was a great way to bypass the long lines
Terrific tour! our guide...
Terrific tour! our guide gave us a real feel for the history behind the temples, arches, and buildings throughout the Forum - he was very knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humor! My husband had some mobility issues which he took into account and kindly gave direction to us! All in all a fantastic experience!
Highly recommend!
This tour was top notch! Our guide Eleanora moved us along early so we were the FIRST to the Colosseum floor and FIRST to get pictures/views before the crowds poured in. She was funny and informative. I’ve been to the Colosseum on my own, and this tour is 100% the way to go. You won’t have to fight the mobs of tourists and you’ll learn and laugh. Highly recommend!!
Francesca was our favorite tour guide
Francesca was very warm and personable. She has a great personality. She is knowledgeable and engaging.
Great tour with a great guide
It was very hot but the guide kept us very interested and stayed longer as it took a little while to get in, very informative
