Great! The guide Matteo explained the whole story very well and was super friendly. Priority access along with arena access is totally worth it! I arrived a little late for the tour and they were super polite in placing me in the next group. I was very happy with everything. Thank you mille!

Bei unserer Tour hatten wir Katarina als Guide. Sie hat eine sehr freundliche und angenehme Art an sich die Geschichte Roms wiederzugeben! Die Tour hat uns super viel Spaß gemacht! Falls wir nochmal nach Rom kommen, würden wir auf jeden Fall immer wieder gerne eine Tour mit Katarina machen wollen! Liebe Grüße Rudi und Lara

Our guide was exceptionally well versed in classical, medieval and renaissance Italian history, meaning she wove a rich tapestry and added significantly to our experience. We had a 10 and 12 year old with us and they also enjoyed the tour and found the guide interesting and relevant.
