Took speed train into Rome from Florence to see highlights in one busy day. Have three children 9,14,16 years. Both tour guides were very nice, but difficulty at times understanding their English with accent making it tough at times to ask questions. Vatican extremely crowded on the visit. Still worth seeing but would have perhaps booked a private tour.

Colosseum was good, then we it started to go downhill from there. Lunch was under cooked pizza. The Vatican portion may have been good, but the audio equipment used was out of date and sounded terrible. We could barely make out what was being said, and it resulted in a very disappointing tour

Attended the tour with my husband. Our tour was extremely LONG, if you are doing this please come prepare there is a LOT of walking. I really enjoyed the tour, first we went to the Colosseum which included a walk next door. You get a very good visual and understanding on how the people in Rome lived. You learn about the rulers and how Rome is like a Lasagna of history. The lunch was a HUGE pizza pie, couldn't finish it. We then went to the Vatican LOTS of more walking. The weather was about 84 degrees and I was sweating but Rome has lots of water that you can drink for free public water fountains, great tasting water. I learned so much and the architecture is amazing, pictures can not grasp the beauty of seeing It in person. We had two different tour guide the guide for the Colosseum was very nice and detailed. The guide for the Vatican was good but the crowed made it more difficult to hear and get all the information needed. If your time is limited like ours then this tour is great.

Our tour guide did a great job of explaining everything and was very engaging! I loved how she showed some pictures of what areas would have looked like back then. It really brought it all together! Our Vatican guide did a great job also! He was entertaining but educational. Enjoyed both guides!
