This is an excellent tour and Bob...

<p>This is an excellent tour and Bob was a great guide. He shared great historical facts about pizza and history in Rome, and having the Colosseum as a part of this tour is smart. We skipped the line and he did an amazing job of teaching us the history.</p>

We enjoyed the small group...

<p>We enjoyed the small group atmosphere only myself, my husband and another couple. Our tour guide was very friendly and informative. We got to walk around a neighbourhood of Rome that we did not plan on visiting. Come with an EMPTY stomach. My husband is a vegetarian and they were very accommodating. Our favourite was the deep fried Naples style pizza. Wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking.</p>

<p>Learned a lot and ate more than I thought. It seemed like we ate every 5 minutes. So delicious, and I am a picky eater.</p>

We thought the tour guide was...

<p>We thought the tour guide was awesome! She threw in lots of info about roman culture that we wouldn't have learned otherwise. Also, the visit to see the St. Peter in Chains tour was a very nice addition to the pizza stops. We ended up becoming pizza experts thanks to her expertise, and we found her advise useful for choosing pizza and gelato for the duration of our trip.</p>

<p>Thoroughly enjoyed this particular tour. Our guide, Alessandra, was entertaining and informative, and shared her knowledge of the area very well. Don't have a big breakfast, as there is lots to eat in the way of pizza, pizza toppings and tasty desserts!</p>
