This was an AMAZING experience. Our guide, Ferdinando, was knowledgable and friendly and we had a wonderful time. He was great about sharing cool facts with us, had images to show what various areas would have once looked like, answered our many questions and even showed us the site where he worked when getting his PhD! He was also great about helping accomodate me. I'm autistic and struggle with crowds, so while I wanted to see the Colosseum, I wasn't sure how well I'd handle it. At the start of the tour I mentioned that I have a hard time when stopped in really crowded areas. Ferdinando was wonderful about taking us into less crowded alcoves when talking to us and showing us different details around the Colosseum, which helped immensely and let me really enjoy the tour. When we eventually return to Rome, we are 100% going to book more tours with him. He was a wonderful guide and this tour was the highlight of our trip.
