My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Rosy in our hotel lobby, where she then took us on a private tour of the Colosseum, with additional belvedere, and Forum. Rosy was very knowledgeable and made every aspect of the tour more interesting and engaging than expected. And it was a pleasure spending time with her and her little bag of books, stories and facts. We would highly recommend Rosy as our tour guide of choice, and the tour itself was amazing. The addition of the belvedere access made for a breathtaking experience; one that made us feel quite privileged to have participated in. The crowds appeared like ants below us, while at the belvedere level we were in the company of only Rosy, a colosseum staff, and one other couple. It was truly outstanding. Rosy rocks. :)
