My 13 year old daughter and I love Roman history and our guide made it come to life. Despite searing July heat, it was truly an amazing experience that we both would wholeheartedly recommend.Leoberto

Brazilian from Garça, SP, visiting the Colosseum inside in July 2025, the guide spoke Spanish, it was easy to understand, bring a bottle of water and a hat and come with sneakers and shorts.María

All very well. Bianca was very charming. No lack of explanations and details of each site. Even with the extreme heat. For my part I would repeat with her.
