A guide is necessary on these tours as there is so much that you would miss out on if you did not have one. Skipping the lines was a bonus and there is not one bad thing I can say about this tour.

I had been to the Colosseum and the Forum before but really did not understand any of the history. Taking this tour with a guide made much more sense and I think that this is the best way to learn about the places you are visiting.

What really impressed me about this tour was that it was very kid friendly. Altogether there was 4 children in our group and the guide made sure that they enjoyed the tour like the rest of us.

You get plenty of time to walk around and soak up the atmosphere. Our guide was very relaxed and never once did we feel like we were on a school outing as I had felt on a previous tour. The sites were astounding and Rome is a beautiful city to visit.

LOVED THIS TOUR. We had a group of 8 people and our tour guide was very informative. It was amazing to stand in the gladiators arena and imagine how it must have been all those centuries ago.

Our guide gave our group ample time for photographs and led us to some perfect viewpoints. The thing I liked best about this tour was that at no time did we feel rushed.

We visited the Coliseum as part of a tour around Rome, and it did not disappoint us. We could have spent all day as it was so fascinating and our guide has to take a lot of the credit for this. Thank you very much.

This was a great start to our holiday in Rome. We got to see the major attractions and then booked a trip to the Vatican with the same company. We were very impressed with the organization and the quality of the guides.

We really enjoyed this tour as it was well organized and the group was small enough to allow everyone to keep up with the commentary. Our guide was not only knowledgeable, but friendly as well and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend the tour and the company.
