We did a private Forum and Colosseum (Belvedere level) tour with Katie and it was such a great experience! She is is friendly and knowledgeable, it was like touring with a Roman history professor. We also did a Vatican private tour with Elisa D. and she was equally as friendly and knowledgeable about everything Vatican. We learned so much history from both of these tours. All in all, this is a top level tour company and we will definitely recommend them to anyone we know visiting Italy! We would absolutely use them again the next time we visit Rome!

This was a great tour and well worth the money. Stefania showed us around the Colosseum, explaining the architecture, explaining what we were seeing from the floor, giving us a view from the emperor's box, etc, for about 1.5 hours. Then we walked over to the Forum and again she explained what we were seeing. She was also attentive to my desire to take photos here and there and our limited ability to climb a large number of steps. Overall a great tour!
