Me and my partner had an amazing experience at the Colisseum. Our guide Alba was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable and so passionate about Italian history. I wanted something special as it was my partner 50th birthday on that day and the tour was perfect. Thank you Alba we couldn’t wish for a better tour guide. You do a marvellous job. Mariana& Mark, UK
The tour was really great- the only bad part was finding the guide. I had seen the "The Roman Guy" flag among the throng of tour groups but did not realize it was also "The Tour Guy" ...much confusion and angst for my husband and I but we were finally able to meet up with the group.
