5.00Fantastic tour and impeccable organization. The Colosseum is majestic, but the combination with the basement of San Clemente makes this route unique. It is fascinating to see how the city was built layer upon layer. Professional guidance, key priority entry to save time and personalized attention that makes a difference. Five well-deserved stars!

5.00our tour included ancient Rome forum sites and the Colosseum. Our guide Davide was super knowledgeable and accommodating to all in our group of around 20. Had we visited the forum and related sites on our own, I don’t think I would have spent more than an hour because without knowledge on the context of the buildings, their function and how they related to each other, it would have just appeared an undifferentiated group of ruins. The Coliseum requires less imagination, but there again his insights added greatly to our understanding and appreciation. finally, sometimes a small thing will reveal someone’s character in unexpected ways. One guest on the tour had an unusual situation, and the way Davide responded showed what a good and thoughtful person he is.
When in Rome!

5.00I had no real preconceptions of Rome but was astounded at what we saw. The Colosseum, the Forum, the Walls of the Vatican City are just the tip of the iceberg. This city is crowded and hot but it all fades into insignificance when you look around and see all the history and architecture. You could easily spend a full day in the Colosseum alone. We ate ina small restaurant ( can't remember the name) and although the food was really good be aware that you get charged for each part of your meal. Water( even tap) and a seating charge. €2 each in our case. I am sure there are places that don't do this but I have been told it is quite a widely spread practise. It was still a wonderful city to see and I cannot start to name everything it has to offer.
