We were so glad to have booked a private tour. Scott quickly guided us past the vast crowds and inside. Really knew his history and it was just the right amount of time. At the end we asked for a lunch restaurant recommendation and he walked with us to a favorite nearby restaurant where we had a lovely meal.

Excellent Experience

Nice, quick tour

CraigRowe, Jun 2022

We took a short, 1-hr tour with Roberto to see the Colloseum. It was just the right amount of info and he was entertaining. It was great skipping lines, and he provided us with tickets for the forum after the tour.
