We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour of the Colosseum and the Forum. Valentina was gracious, knowledgeable, and thoughtful as she steered us through the crowds and offered interesting perspectives and information, taking time to answer our questions, even serving as photographer for us. She has a great sense of how much information and activity her group has the capacity for. We appreciated and enjoyed our tour and Valentina made it all possible.

Guide was very involved and experienced! But… It’s like a scam: they are only selling Arena access one week before the event 4 time more than others (others honestly said that they cant sell because out of tickets) but one day prior (then you cant do anything) they are giving a message: … Due to internal problems in the Colosseum administration, Arena tickets are no longer available and must be booked one month in advance. We will give you a refund of the difference between the arena and regular ticket, which will be 10 euros for person. You will visit the first and second floors at the Colosseum, you will not go inside but walk around the arena. In addition, our experience was without Forum and Hill because we’d came to the enterance at the 15:30 (open till 15:30). And the guide said only sorry and offered visit the Forum next day without him :) Extremely awful experience for a HUGE money. We paid more 800 euro for Arena access, Forum and Hill, but.. they’d given us 1/3. Its a scam, I guess.

Marco was so informative by far my favorite trip ever. He knew the answers to all of questions and didn't rush me away from the sites

Elizabeth did a fantastic job!! We got to see some amazing sights at a comfortable pace. Less stress and bustle than a group tour.

Vi var tre generationer, 11 mand i alderen 16 - 82 år, der en fantastisk rundvisning af Elisabeth. Hun var meget levende fortæller. Og det var lige tilpas med ophold, pauser og fortælling - Helt klart een uforglemmelig oplevelse på vores familietur til Rom :) Det var helt vidunderligt og meget anbefalelsesværdigt.
