We had a wonderful experience with Touriks and our guide Susi from A to Z. We came to the Touriks office in Rome because we were looking for a short-termed private tour in German. They were extremely helpful and managed to organize the tour we wanted for the next morning. Susi, our Austrian tour guide, met us in front of the colosseum and took us around for a 75 minutes tour. She was simply amazing! She was competent, kind, funny and so much fun to be with. Plus she has a wonderful way to engage the kids, who in our case really loved her and clung to her lips (they are 8 and 6 yes old). We all had a great time and highly recommend this private experience over a larger group, esp. when traveling with smaller kids.

Tour effettuato con Lorenzo l'archeologo, dal cognome greco complicato, che ci ha fatto scoprire particolari interessanti che nessuno avrebbe notato, e che ci ha affascinato con le sue spiegazioni chiare ed esaustive. Professionalità ai massimi livelli, da cui traspare il suo entusiasmo per il suo lavoro di guida. 3 ore sono volate in un battibaleno, tra domande, aneddoti, spiegazioni, e meraviglia nell'apprendere nozioni e informazioni sugli antichi romani che vivevano "il Colosseo" come luogo di incontro e divertimento. Che dire? Consigliatissimo. Grazie per tutto il tempo che ci hai dato e dedicato.
