David was a really excellent tour guide, easily the most knowledgeable tour guide we experienced in Italy. Would not hesitate to recommend him to other travelers.

My wife went on a tour of the Coliseum last year and had mixed reviews - basically said her guide seemed to be like an “bitter old man” who wasn’t interested in answering questions, just in telling them what he wanted them to hear. NOT THIS TIME! Our guide Marcius was incredible! He really brought the Coliseum, Roman culture, and history to life! You could tell his passion for history and making sure everyone understood the real truth in what happened at the Coliseum and palace and how that even impacts us today. I couldn’t recommend higher a tour from Marcius! Our feet were tired at the end but it was all worth it to get the inside look on an incredible piece of history.

If you are going to visit this type of venue, you must have skip the line and patience. Lots of crowds to navigate. Max, our guide, was truly informative and there wasn't a question he could address. Lots of detailed history topped off with amazing tour of the Colosseum. Hearing the history, viewing the architecture and simply imagining the events that actually took place, made this tour well worth the time. Please note, I booked online with La Vacanza Travel but was notified of a time change the night before without any cancellation refund if we missed our tour time. We were a few minutes late but did cause concern we would miss out in the event.

Tickets were not honored even tho they were confirmed on La Vacanza Travel. Family of 5 with young children were left stranded. I do not recommend using this company.
