Very impressive!

Amazing sight to see. We went early in the morning so wasn't to busy or hot. From the outside you don't realise how big it really is until you step inside.

Magda was very knowledgable and insightful on our guided tour. She helped us imagine the sights as they would have been originally and understand all the uses and purpose of each building. Amazing!

The guide was very knowledgeable and gave a detailed history on the monuments. The best part was that it was skip the line and we had access to both the arena and 2nd floor of the Colosseum. Overall, it was a really good experience.

Wonderful Experience

An absolutely unforgettable experience! Walking through the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill felt like stepping back in time. Our guide was a true expert and passionate about sharing the history of these iconic sites. She had a way of making the ancient ruins come alive with stories of gladiators, emperors, and daily life in ancient Rome. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to take in all the details without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for history enthusiasts and first-time visitors alike!

Really enjoyed learning more about Ancient Rome

This tour offers an incredible insight into ancient Rome, covering three of the city's most important historical sites. The Colosseum was, of course, a standout, but I was equally fascinated by the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where you can really imagine what life was like centuries ago. Our guide was engaging and informative, answering all of our questions with ease. The tour was well-organized, and despite the crowds, we managed to enjoy every moment. Definitely one of the best ways to explore Rome's ancient history!
