Great experience - it's really important to have the comments and history when visiting the sites to fully understand and get the atmosphere. Vincent was a great guide for the French group - good humor, great details and fun facts, kept us interested throughout the visits.

Our tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum was awesome! Radu was our tour guide and his information was incredible. His historical knowledge really brought the whole picture together and the context was so helpful in understanding beyond just what we were seeing. Would 100% do any tour with him.
