It was a great small tour with Favoula (I hope I spelled here name right 😅)! She provided really interesting insights while showing us the Colosseum and Forum. Would recommend her again.

Fulvia was amazing! She had strong knowledge of history and brought us back in time to imagine what the places looked like in their splendor. All in all 5 starts. My kids were so interested in what she was saying and she made the experience much nicer in spite of the heat and huge crowd around

Marketa was a great guide! We received tons of information, time really flew! Do not book this trip if you want a quick visit, but really a good idea if you are interested by Ancient Rome and archeology! We enjoyed the tour very much!
