Amazingly experienced and knowledgeable guide

Published on Jan, 2025

I honestly felt privileged to take this tour with professional archaeologist, Elisa. She spoke from both deep background knowledge and personal experience. I will always remember standing at the exact spot in which she personally found and helped excavate specific items. Every question we asked, she answered with a seemingly limitless deeper well of knowledge.

It was the most unbelievable adventure and experience that we’ve had ! Looking forward to more of this in our lives !! Thank you

Amazing tour guide Elisa

Published on Jul, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Elisa. As an archeologist herself, she was able to impart so much interesting history to us and information about Roman lifestyle. I highly recommend a tour with Elisa if you can!

Fantastic experience with Elisa exploring some of the most famous ruins in Rome

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a wonderful time with Elisa, who toured us around the colosseum, its underground, and the Roman forum! We started in the colosseum and went into the underground (which is not actually underground for the most part, the floor of the colosseum/roof of the underground is gone). Elisa was incredibly knowledgeable and had a lot in inside information due to her doctorate and extensive time doing archeology inside the forum. Highly recommend this tour to get the whole picture on the colosseum!

Informative and highly knowledgeable tour guide with privileged access to Colosseum underground

Published on May, 2024

Loved the tour! Was amazing and informative, Elisa was very knowledgeable and answered our questions excellently. She has a deep love for the subject and we definitely could tell from her sharing — from the history of the Roman Forum and Colosseum to the excavation methods used to uncover these ruins! She also wasn’t too rushed and gave us ample time to take photos — she even helped to take a few for us! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an informative yet easy-to-digest tour.
