Fantastic information and sites

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide, Giada, was highly informed of the local history, a clear speaker with an impressive English vocabulary, very friendly and very patient. I had a walking stick and Giada made sure I could access the lift in the Colosseum, as well as taking ramp or hill routes instead of stairs for me. She always made sure she could see everybody and made sure I was ok, especially after 2 almost falls. I highly recommend Giada and this tour.

Informative, interesting tour with Zarah

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide Zarah was very informative, organized, and we learned a lot from her explanations and insights. She also was helpful, warm, and patient with our young son along for the tour. Having the skip-the-line tickets and her knowledge really enhanced the experience of seeing all of the ruins. Would definitely recommend Zarah and this tour.

We recommend this tour!!!!
