we were in italy for a girls' trip. the positives of this tour: vatican tour (informative, well paced, engaging guide); negatives: it was very difficult to find the meeting place for the 2nd part colosseum tour, guide although very knowledgeable spoke in a such a soft voice that it was very difficult to hear and understand him and the tour of the roman forum was much much longer than it needed to be.

We used the same company for our Vatican and colosseum/forum/palatine tour. Sergio was an excellent tour coordinator. Rescheduled our tour when the colosseum closed the forum. Do not wait in line for this tour! Guide had great history at every stop. Had a thunderstorm at Palatine hill but only enhanced the beautiful marble. Walked right in at each site. Highly recommend.
