My f I I did the C I'll I just did the Colliseum tour including Palatine hill,the Roman Forum and the underground vault. Whilst it was a cold day the tour was really enjoyable. Our guide Ariana I believe her name was, was extremely engaging with the group. She was warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the sites and of Rome's history as a whole. I totally recommend this tour.

This was a fantastic tour hitting all the major historical sites in and around the Colosseum. The underground portion was really interesting and a must if you ask me. Our guide, Vincenzo, of RomaExperience Tours was amazing and a history book of knowledge. The 4 hours went by quickly. I wish I could have recorded everything he had to say it was so good. Highly recommended!!!
