Amazing tour with an amazing guide!!!

Jessica_P, Jul 2025

We had a private tour with Samuel (Sam). I thought a private tour would offer a unique experience for myself and my husband. Totally worth it. Sam was amazing, personable and extremely knowledgeable without being condescending. Wish I booked him for every tour!!! Would definitely recommend Sam if you have the option.

Great experience

Augestino was an excellent tour guide. Really knew his history and was very personable. What a delight

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Stephanie, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It’s wonderful that Augustine's deep knowledge of Roman history and culture made the experience delightful. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Thank you again, we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Kosta

Traumhaftes Rom

Renate_G, Mar 2023

Wir wir waren elf Personen (Geschäftsreise) und haben uns die Private-Tour (Kolloseum) auf deutsch gebucht. Es hat alles hervorragend geklappt. Pünktlich zum vereinbarten Termin hat uns Chiara in Empfang genommen. Uns hat die Führung mit Chiara sehr gut gefallen. Chiara war sehr kompetent, wusste viel zu erzählen und lustig, ohne dass einem langweilig wurde. Sie ist auf unsere Wünsche eigegangen und wir würden Chiara jederzeit wieder buchen und können sie bestens empfehlen. Auch mit den Tickets und Einlass hat alles super geklappt und wir mussten nicht anstehen.
