Our guide, Nadia, was awesome!!! She is very knowledgeable, patient, and she absolutely loves what she does. My teenage son said she is the best guide we had for the whole trip! (Multiple destinations with many guides). Nadia gave us a very detailed, clear and pleasant tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Highly recommended!

The tour of the Colosseum led by Lucia was fascinating and very informative. We were pick- pocketed on the Metro on the way over and lost our IDs and our money, and were of course distraught during the tour. Even with our distracted mind set, Lucia’s animated and informative presentation was superb. Her English and knowledge of the history of this amazing ancient site are excellent. She was able to convince the guards to let us through without our stolen IDs, and gave us bus tickets to get back to our hotel. She definitely went above and beyond to help us!

This 2 hour tour was for the Colosseum. However … we only got 5 minutes inside because the guide took 1 hour and 45 minutes talking about everything outside the Colosseum and she kept repeating herself. By the time we finally got inside, it left us with only five minutes inside. We gave up and tuned our headsets in early left early so we could have at least 15 minutes inside the Colosseum. We were hoping for over an hour inside, but the guide was not reading her group very well, and kept us outside for some bizarre reason. She was very repetitive and was pointing out facts about things that none of us really came to see.

Our tour guide was amazing. Massimo was so informed and had been leading tours of Rome for 12 years. His enthusiasm for Rome was infectious! He was so knowledgeable and friendly! We were so happy with Italia tours and would highly recommend them For tours and train tickets and trip planning. We have been so pleased! Outstanding service and attention to detail! Ask for Massimo!!!

Really great tour, hardly any wait time despite it being very busy and the guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of interesting highlights. The guide also was great for finding photo opportunities and was generally very nice.

Luigi was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Deeply knowledgeable and still enthusiastic about the subject despite the many tours he certainly has given! He took care to learn everyone's names and paid attention to how each of us were doing during the very hot, sunny afternoon. He gave us a slightly longer tour than scheduled to make up for some time we lost, to accomodate one person in the tour group who had difficulty with the heat. Thank you, Luigi!

Our guide (forgort his name) was excellent - his knowledge of history was comprehensive and had a great sense of humour. The passion for the subject matter was obvious.
