Tour Guy (a gal)

Richard_S, Jul 2025

Our guide was great and very attentive to our needs. She had a PhD in Archeology. . However Tour Guy booked 12 people while it promoted ten max. Also given three start times in messages in the 24 hours before the tour which spanned over 75 minites for our mush arrive by time.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Richard, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so glad to hear your guide’s expertise and attentiveness made the tour enjoyable—having a PhD in Archaeology really brings the Colosseum and Forum to life! We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the group size and the varying start times you received. This is not the smooth experience we want for our travelers. I’ve shared your feedback with our Rome Operations Manager to ensure our communication and group management are more consistent moving forward. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to welcome you on a future tour for the seamless experience we aim to provide.

Christiana Ventura awesome tour guide!!!

David_R, May 2025

I was fortunate to have Christiana Ventura a PhD archeologist as the tour guide. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of everything we saw, she got us into areas not normally accessible to the public. I strongly recommend Christiana as a superb tour guide.

Alessia was fantastic !...

It sounds like Alessia really made the tour special for your family! Her passion and knowledge, combined with keeping your boys engaged, definitely set the tone for a fantastic Italian adventure. I’m glad to hear it was a great start to your trip—hope the rest of your travels are just as memorable!
