Premium Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum Private Tour

Our guide, Vincenzo , really knows the history of Ancient Rome , the Palentine Hill and the Colosseum. As English speakers we found him easy to understand . He answered all our questions in a thoughtful way, so we could tell he knows the subject matter. His presentation was interesting and filled with facts. He is creative and draws verbal pictures of the people and events so we could “see” what it was like in Ancient Rome. Since my husband and I have Pompeii as our next stop we especially liked his knowledge of Pompeii because he is a guide there also. Be prepared to stand and walk for a full 2 hours, including uphill to the top of Palentine Hill and climbing the stairs in the Colosseum . We are near 70 years old and we didn’t have any trouble, but we are really active and fit.

Had a wonderful semi-private tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forums with Walks and our guide Olga - and she was absolutely wonderful! She was an encyclopedia of information and extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

As most Tourists I was in awe of The history. I was disappointed in the guide. This was quite an expense tour which was advertised as 3 hours. The guides appearing mostly occasionally bored and looking for shade. Contrary to the guide we had for the Vatican/Sistene Chapel the previous day, the guide for the Forum/Colleseum, This guide seemed to be more interested in finding shade, offered few Suggestions for photo opportunities and offered more in depth information only when prompted by my friend who had been o the Forum previously. What I learned was that the quality of the process is entirely dependent on the “assigned” guide.
