The view of the Roman Forum from the Palentine Hill was magnificent. Being inside of the colosseum was very special. Our guide was ok. He knew a lot but language skills were a little sketchy.

Tour guide was on time and friendly. Would be better with a 50% refund since we could only understand 50% of the guides comments. We thought this might be a problem with just us until the blank faces of the rest of the group indicated they had the same problem. English was not clear and much of the time was spent with rambling muses about unrelated topics. Easy to tell that most of the group had checked out 50% through the tour.

The Colosseum was fabulous but truthfully, I think the tour was more of a hindrance than a benefit. It was busy and I totally understand the guide needed to keep to a time schedule but she didn't give us as much time to take photos as I would have liked. We queued for a considerable amount of time to enter the Forum and after 20 mins or so, tour over. Again very rushed. Palatine Hill? Well I can't even remember that getting a mention. Thankfully at the end of the tour we had free time to wander at our own pace but if I were to visit Rome again, I wouldn't book a tour

Alessia made our trip to the Colosseum! Travelling with three teenagers is a lot of fun, but we've also learned without the expertise of a guide, is a sure-fire way to end up with bored companions. Alessia leaned into stories that captured our attention and answered all our questions. With her we were able to skip lines and move through the forum like a pro. Thank you for the memorable experience.
