Having a Tour with the Roman Guy/the Tour Guy was the best tour we have ever been on. We had a private group tour of 9 people with Marta who met us promptly at 11:00am at the front of Coloseo train station and our tour started 11:15am.
Marta of course had a list of our names, but she memorized and made each person in the group a priority. She gave each person many opportunities to have one on one conversations and interactions.
Now for the tour itself. The entrance was skip the line and we had a brief intro from
Marta to the Colosseum. Because we had the underground tour, the actual Colosseum archeologist Eleanor was amazing. She brought us through the entire underground and her knowledge was truly exceptional.
When Eleanor was finished with us, Marta finished the Colosseum tour giving us access to the actual stadium floor and took many group photos for us.
We went to the second level and two of our people used the elevator to walk with us.
Departing the Colosseum we walked past the Florentine Arch and up to Paletine Hill and the Roman Forum.
Marta’s knowledge was very extensive and also quite topical mentioning the tic tax toe the Roman’s played on the walls.
All of us wish we could rate Marta more than 5 stars. She was thorough, very friendly, and we could not recommend the Tour Guy any higher.
Thanks!
