Our guide is very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of historical information. However, it is a bit too much for layman like us. There was no time given to at least take in the sights and take a few quick pictures. He was even late in bringing us to the Colosseum and we had to almost run to try keep up with him because he was afraid he may miss the time line. He also took above the 3 hours programme. Overall, I we admire his enthusiasm but feel he has to improve the way he conduct his tour and better time management.

davide was an excellent guide, both personable and very knowledgeable. The three hour walk took us first through the forum and vestal temple, then up the hill to the site of the old palace. Panoramic views including the colosseum from this terrace. The final stop was the coliseum. Our visit was later in the day in june, the light was approaching the golden hour. The structure is impressive and my impression was our tour’s access to a reconstruction of the arena floor was a bonus not always available. Parts of the tour could be a little challenging for some, there is a fair amount of time in the sun and the stairs in the coliseum are quite steep by modern standards. Davide’s commentary brought so much context to this memorable experience, we recommend this tour highly.
