    Damien was a great guide and the tour was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative on the tour and we enjoyed just chatting with him during breaks and stops. He knew so much about the forum and the coliseum as well as the city in general. The tour was extremely enjoyable as I had never been to any of these monuments before and it was a great experience!!

    Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was friendly, fantastic, and presented the information in a fun and exciting ways! There was a little slip up where our guide forgot that we were supposed to explore the underground, but he quickly fixed this mistake, got us into the underground and we still had a great time. Highly recommend booking this tour and if you can get Paolo as your guide, you're guaranteed to have an amazing tour!

    Francesco was a fantastic guide, he led us through the forum and colosseum at a good pace and gave great commentary both about the history of the site and bits about contemporary Rome and advice on other places to go while traveling. He was funny and answered any questions we had. Don’t miss out on a tour with him!
