Our tour with Radu was absolutely fantastic. As amazing as these historic sites are, we would not have appreciated their visit half as much had it not been for Radu and everything he explained along the way. We learned so much (and laughed a lot!) Radu is extremely knowledgeable, passionate and funny :) It was an absolute pleasure to be on tour with him.

The tour was excellent. Our guide, Georgia, was so knowledgeable and she packed a lot of great information into the tour. My friends and I paid for several guided tours during our stay in Sorrento, in Sicily, and in Rome and we learned that a tour guide can make or break the experience. We had a horrible tour guide in Sorrento and it ruined our day. With Georgia as our Colosseum guide, we loved our tour. She was absolutely top notch and we would gladly go on any tour that she was leading!

It was fantastic, much better than I thought it would be plus our guide was exceptional. He was the icing on the cake. Dave Battagliono. With his knowledge, enthusiasm and wit he brought the Colosseum alive to us all in the tour. We enjoyed him so much that we did another tour with him that night at the Pantheon and wasn’t disappointed.
