Published on Jan, 2025

Elida was fabulous. Perfect guide. Easy to understand. Good information. The tour starts in ancient Rome with a detailed descriptions of the ancient monuments and palaces. There is a steep walk up and down the original palace. The colloseum tour is a trip to the floor and top. Lots of security to help keep things in order.

Laura Antonucci excellent work!

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing experience ,our guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun, kept us moving along and was very conscientious for the whole group. I noticed some of the other tours going on and our guide,( Laura Antonucci ) was the only guide that brought a reference book to add to our experience. AA+ highly recommend Laura and would search her out when we return to Rome on our next visit. Well done !!! Regards, Michael
