The tour was around 2.5 hours total which was more than enough. We took the guided tour in February and it was still quite sunny, so make sure to take a hat and sunglasses and water. Our tour guide Georgio was really helpful and we really enjoyed listening to the fascinating history. Google maps took us straight to the vicinity of the meeting place, so all good there.

Very nice tour - 1st part is to your choosing of what you would want to see- I didn’t know this - so I would recommend having a plan - we did not - Walking tour after lunch was great - Georgio is a very good guide- and extremely knowledgeable - Highly recommend any tour that he is giving

It was a wonderful experience. Couldn't have understood the significance and the history without detailed explanation from the guide. Highly recommend to take the guided tour for the best experience.

The tour was provided according to the included activities. The advice is to stay on Palatine Hill after the tour and enjoy a perfect view of Colosseum.

We booked and met at the meeting place to be advised we were the 9n of ones on the tour. So effectively had 1 guide to 2 people. No need for headsets…
