The best part of our tour of the Colosseum, the Forum, and Palatine Hill was definitely our tour guide. She was knowledgeable and had a great way of delivering her message, even a little joke now and then. The sites are awesome inspiring given their age, construction, and purposes.Shafik

I went on a very cozy, private tour with Marle Robinson, with three other tourists. Marle was amazingly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories from history throughout the experience. She's very sharp and witty, with a lot of funny jokes to keep us engaged. At the same time, she was very attentive to our needs, making sure we remained hydrated, never strayed too far from each other and had ample time to snap a couple of photos. The tour gave us fast track entry to the venues and we were able to coast through the sites swiftly due to the sheer size of the company. It's very clear that our guide is passionate about the topics covered during the tour, being a practising scholar herself. This tour is highly recommended!Pamela

Except that you guys misidentify the location, where you meet the guide and no one comes to the meeting point to pick you up it was a great experience with a great guide. Lots of background information.

It was nice being in a small group and Siriki, our guide, was awsome! He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as they came up. He didn't just give facts and figures but told us stories to help us understand how it was to live in Roman times and what central roles the Colosseum and Forum played in everyday life at the time. We would highly recommend this tour and this guide.
An unmatched introduction to the Eternal City
After meeting your guide, you will be led to the dominating Colosseum. Make your way directly into the world’s largest amphitheater ever constructed. Your tour guide will regale you with stories of the infamous gladiator games. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles.
Dive into Rome’s history at the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
In the next leg of this exciting tour, walk the path that citizens once used every day as you venture into the Roman Forum along the Via Sacra. Neighboring the Colosseum, this rectangular marketplace provides an insight into ancient life in Rome, unlike any other site. Explore in a small group of 15.
