The tour was amazing. Claudia was an attentive, knowledgeable and personable guide, ensuring she tailored information to suit the adults and my 10 year old son, she engaged him and took care of him when it was clear he was a bit overtired and hot. I would definitely recommend.

It was just great! Alessia made sure to adapt the content for my kids and was patient enough to answer all of my son’s questions! She made it fun for them but also for us! Worth the money! Best visit ever!

Tomasso was an excellent guide. He is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable on all things Rome. He engaged the children with a dice competition to explain a gladiator battle in the Colosseum. My 5 year old LOVED it. He had answers to all our questions and was also able to provide context to bring it all to life. Would highly recommend!!
