This tour was amazing. Alessandro (I think this is correct) was a gem. He was brilliant and interesting and got us all the best spots for pictures and views. He let us take our time and our 2-3 hour tour turned into about 3 and a half hours and he did not even mind. His stories were interesting and funny and not to be found in any history book! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. They were so organized and everything was simple and easy. It was a highlight of my trip. I will never forget it. Thank you so much Alessandro!

This guided tour was just right! Lots of time in the coliseum—entering through one gladiator’s gate and out the other, going up to the next levels and looking back at the entire coliseum—it was fabulous and everyone in my party agreed. There were some stairs which would deter someone with accessibility issues. The rest of the tour was a walk through the gardens on Palentine Hill and the rest of the archeological site. I chose this Carpe Diem tour primarily because we met at the Constantine Arch and not in a place I would have to look for in the metro station. We went in the afternoon in December and it was nice walking weather. The guide was a PhD archeologist and she made the whole place even more fascinating with her insights.

Our tour was excellent and we loved our operator. Ivana Manchini was our guide and she was fantastic. Especially good for our three children. I’m not sure they would have enjoyed these sites without the tour and they all love talking about the tour. Our kids are 11, 10, and 8. So happy we booked the tour.
