Our tour guide was very informative in a fun way, took very good care of people in our group with mobility issues, and was very enthusiastic and knowledgable. It was amazing to see all of the Coliseum and we appreciated the good communication and easy check in process. Thank you!

The Guide (I think Marilena) was amazing and seemed to know everything you could possibly know. She was a great guide and although the tour ended up being almost 4 hours in the end (since the line was much longer than usual), we enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much!!
