We had a great small group tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum with our teenagers. Alex was great and helped us make it through the rain. We had gone many years ago and found this tour to be much better than going on our own. Skip the line is perfect.

We had a tour with Rachael and she was great. She gave us so much history about every aspect of the Colosseum and the Forum. Her English was fantastic. The tour in the heat was rough but she found a good amount of shade and even some breezy spots and made sure we hit all the water spots to refill our water bottles. Definitely worth the money for this tour.

We stayed in Rome for about a week, and the Together in Rome tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum was easily the best experience we had there. Our tour guide Francesca was knowledgeable and funny and made the history come alive as we saw all the sights. She also customized the tour and showed us a few places off the normal path. The tour was semi-private only 6 people, so it was far better than those massive, crowded tours with 20-30. Highly recommended!

Rachele was our tour guide, and she was delightful. She was very knowledgeable, and her command of the English language is impressive. The Colosseum was crowded, but Rachele avoided the biggest roadblocks. A very enjoyable experience.

This was a great small group tour. Francesca, our guide, was so warm and welcoming. She did a wonderful job of sharing so much history and information about the sites in a compelling way. I would highly recommend this tour.
