A Fantastic Colosseum Tour Thanks to Giovanni

Francini_B, Feb 2026
Giovanni was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller who truly brought the history of the Colosseum to life. He shared the perfect amount of information—engaging without ever feeling overwhelming and the tour was just the right length. I learned so much and stayed interested the entire time. I would absolutely recommend this tour (and Giovanni!) to a friend. Thank you so much, Giovanni!
