Our guide Marcius is very knowledgable, funny and patient and he really took the time to guide us through ancient Rome history. My family, including my 11-year old, had a very pleasant experience. The tour lasted for over 3 hours and it was very well planned. The only downside was the size of the group: this was claimed a small group tour with less than 20 people, but instead there were at least 26 people. Overall, this was the best tour we had in Italy!

Our tour guide was awesome, she had lots of personality and made 3 hours of history entertaining. Unfortunately the Underground portion of the tour was cancelled and we were downgraded to a large group tour without it.

Very interesting visit. Very well documented and explained. There are images of the present and the ancient time and you can make a real overview.

Lumi was the best guide, she gave us great information about the Colloseum and the Forum in an interesting and unique way.
