“I suggest you pack your patience. To no fault of the guide. It is very unorganized entry/security check. Too many people are allowed in at one time. You are only showed a specific area of the museum, unable to see any paintings. My want plan a separate tour for that.”

Review of Rome’s Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tour, with guide details, value, crowds, walking advice and booking tips.
“Great tour! Lots of info, be sure to bring a hat and lots of water, not a lot of shade. Good amount of walking and lots of uneven surfaces definitely better to have a guide pointing out ruins than listening to a recording and not knowing where to look.”

“This tour is 1000% worth it!! Alexandria was our guide on April 29 and I could not have been happier with the experience she provided us. There is simply just too much history and stories hidden in these ruins to go without a guide, and Alexandra spared no details or fun facts. You'd be a fool to come to Rome and not experience this.”

Review of Rome’s Vatican skip-the-line tour, including the Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, guides, timing, crowds, and value.
“5/5 – Absolutely worth it This tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Giovanni was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic about answering questions. You could tell he loves what he does. The "skip-the-line" benefit was real. We saved at least an hour compared to the regular entrance queue, which was a game-changer given how much there is to see. Our group was around 20 people, which felt manageable—we could always hear Giovanni clearly and had enough space to actually appreciate the art. The Sistine Chapel was the definite highlight. Having Giovanni walk us through the history and details beforehand made the experience so much more meaningful than if we'd just wande...”

“Our Guide, Georgio was excellent. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of the Colosseum shone through. His ability to recall facts but also make it interesting and relatable was flawless. I would definitely recommend.”
Review of Rome’s three-hour Colosseum underground tour, including the Forum, Palatine Hill, arena floor, costs, guides, and practical tips.
“Very informative and a fascinating step back into history! Teddy was a great guide. Whilst it seems a chunk of money up front, we felt it was good value given we were there for nearly 3 hours in a small group and Teddy was happy to answer questions. The underground tour addition felt such a privilege given the restricted numbers and really added to the atmosphere of the trip, knowing you have walked the same paths as the gladiators! For history fans this is a must see!”
