We really enjoyed this tour, we met the tour guide within a short distance from the Colosseum as arranged, he was prompt, well prepared, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our group was a mix of different nationalities but everyone spoke English. The tour guide, Maurizio was brilliant, he gave us a well informed, insightful and inspiring tour of the Colusseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Fort, didn’t hurry anyone, made sure everyone questions were answered and he remembered everyone’s names too, a great guy who was a born and bred Roman himself.

A very smooth and enjoyable experience. We got a taxi to the drop off area and arrived 30 mins before the start. Don’t be late they won’t wait for as one woman found out today as she tried to catch up while we had begun our tour. Pablo our guide was so knowledgeable not only about the coliseum but all Roman history and it was a pleasure to listen to him. Go early, we were there at 9 am and it was still busy but not chaotic. Great tour !!

Our 9:00 tour at the Colosseum was great because there weren't heavy crowds yet. When we got to Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum the crowds picked up. But our tour guide, Chiara Maria, knew were to go to avoid the crowds so that we were able to get great views and still learn during our tour. We learned so much of the rich history of Rome!
