Expert Guided Tour of Colosseum Arena OR Underground, and Forum

Robert_B, May 2026

Excellent tour! (Plus notes on logistics)

First and foremost, this was an amazing tour, and we had a fantastic guide who was truly passionate about Roman history and culture. That's what matters; 5 stars. I learned a ton and had a great time. Now I want to mention a couple things simply to help people with their booking and help the company smooth things out. First, the meeting point is not very well described. It was near the Metro station indeed, BUT it is not at all apparent which exit is the upper vs ground level. They are at the metro exit across the street from the colosseum. The other thing is the green awning - it's a tiny green awning - it would be better described as a large gazebo looking structure that does indeed have a small green awning. The second thing is that we were told to get there 30 minutes before our 4:00 tour, which we did successfully. We were then told to come back right at 4:00 after they found our name and confirmed we were in the right place. So we sat around for 30 minutes and went back, only to have them rush us across the road where the whole group was waiting for us as if we were late. It was awkward and even kind of embarrassing, and we just felt very flustered to start the tour. But honestly from that moment, we realized our tour guide was going to be funny and smart and amazing. There wasn't another bump in the road the whole time. We do absolutely recommend this your and hope you get a chance to do it.

Pompeii, Amalfi Coast and Positano Day Trip from Rome

Mary_B, May 2026

A Great Day!

Laura, our tour guide, and Enrico, our bus driver, were wonderful. Laura was very knowledgeable and she was very easy to understand. Positano and the Amalfi Coast were incredibly beautiful and we had a lovely time exploring and snacking! Pompeii was incredible! We had no idea how big it was and could have spent days there! Our guide, Federico, was funny and personable and quite knowledgeable, as well. All in all, a long day well spent!

Tia_N, May 2026

A history lesson for the books!

This tour is the perfect way to dive into the history of the colosseum and the Roman Empire , our tour guide was so knowledgable, she paced the tour out perfectly. We will never forget what we learned and the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and Palantine hill will never be overlooked again as we now know the rich history behind each structure/location.

Must do day trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius!

Amazing day that included 2 hours touring Pompeii with an archeologist guide who provided incredible insights, time to climb Mt Vesuvius and enjoy the views across the Bay of Naples and along the Amalfi coast, as well as lunch and a few snack breaks. Our guide, Kler, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional and managed to balance insightful information about our tour without overloading us with information. Paolo, our bus driver, was also fabulous.

Christie_B, Apr 2026

Highly recommend Eco art

We had a great experience with tour operator EcoArt. Prior to arrival they rang to check we knew where to meet them, and from then the tour was great. The guide new so so much, probably more than we needed but it was interesting. We were very much looking forward to the Sistine Chapel, our guide respectfully asked us to keep talking to a hush which we all respected, except the tour guides and groups who were already in there were quite loud, so the calm feeling expected to feel in the chapel was lost. Our guide sensibly went through the Sistine Chapel information before going in, so you could appreciate the ceiling. Overall very good guide and company

Rome in a Day:Vatican, Sistine Chapel Colosseum & Historic Center

Monica_T, Apr 2026

Best way to see the city

We only had a day and a half in Rome so this was the best way to see everything we wanted to. Getting to go to a private, quiet section of the Colosseum was a highlight. Olga did a Nice job of providing information, but I kind of wish we did less standing and listening at the beginning and more learning while walking or seeing. Everything was super busy but she got us where we needed to go in a timely manner. The gelato by the Vatican was the best I’ve ever had. Don’t skip it! At the end of the tour we didn’t have a way back to our start so we tried to get a cab back to the colosseum. They tried to charge us 5x the rate I paid the day before and wanted cash only. We declined and decided to walk the 3 miles/5km back. Turns out that was worth it as we found several beautiful churches to enter along the way. Way less crowded than the bigger sights but even more beautiful in my opinion.

From Rome to Tuscany: Discover Florence and Pisa in One Day

Donna_A, Apr 2026

Wonderful and convenient

If you are pressed for time and would like to have the opportunity to see Florence and Pisa from Rome, this tour is a great option. Mary Jo was our guide—and she was friendly, professional, and informative. I felt like we were in great hands with her. I hope to return to both cities on a future trip when I have more time, but this was a wonderful introduction and overview to both places and a chance to see the famous highlights.
