Amazing tour with Elisa. Well worth it, especially if you love history and/or archeology. Elisa is highly educated, knowledgable, as well as engrossing, entertaining and an absolute joy to learn from and be led by. We were able to go deep into the colosseum, into places very few will ever see. We were also able to make adjustments as we went along, based on what we were most interested in seeing and learning about. It was great passing by the masses of tourists and heading into spaces that had no crowds, seeing things few get to see. I am so happy we did this tour. You will be too!

The Underground addition to the colosseum is wonderful! Luca Romano is awesome! He is so knowledgeable and listens to your interests and needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. He even gave us suggestions for eating.

Our guide, Elisa made this tour so memorable. Tour maybe expensive but having an archeologist with first hand research experience was worth the extra. Seeing the Colosseum from underground, the tunnel thru which the gladiators enter the area, the areas and wooden cage and pulley system to bring animals into arena made such a visual impression. In addition, the history of Ancient Rome on Palatine Hill and Roman Forum is overwhelming to read but having an expert provide a live storytelling manner was meaningful.

Elisa - was awesome. I unknowingly booked a total private tour, my wife and I thinking it was a small group. Elisa is a wealth of knowledge, and made it so much fun. She is wickedly smart. She spent sooo much time with us in the Colosseum and we got to go underground which was a must for me. The Colosseum is the focus here but Palatine Hill and the Forum are fantastic. You want to skip the line...you want to go with Elisa. Trust me, the money is one thing - the time you save and the experience are well worth it. Word of advice - small groups are better whatever tour you pick. Don't go in a larger sized tour.
