The tour of the Roman Forum and Palantine Hill was excellent! Our guide, Francesca, was amazing. Great sense of humour, very engaging with the group, and knew many small details throughout her portion of the tour, which added to the fantastic experience. She kept the entire group engaged and had no difficulty keeping up with questions or fun quips. The first part of the tour was superb. The tour switches guides when going into the Colosseum itself. The swap was rather seamless, and very smooth. However, our tour guide for the Colosseum, Patricia, was not nearly as good as the Forum guide. The headsets we were given did not work well within the enclosed structure of the Colosseum, and would cut out over even shorter distances. Our guide kept the group always moving, and would start talking without everyone there, which left those at the back not able to listen to what she said. When asked questions, she would either not answer directly, or answer something different. Still a nice site

This was a great tour. Mario guided us through the Forum and I came away with so much information! He is the best guide. He’s was so patient and knowledgeable! We really enjoyed our time with him and wished we could have taken him on the rest of our tours!

Elena was an excellent guide who really helped us understand the history of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Tour was delayed due to issues with overcrowding and everything was communicated very well in advance so there were no issues with our travel plans. I would highly recommend this tour as the first thing you do on your trip to understand the beginnings of Rome as a city.
