Renata dud a great job educating us about various aspects of the Colosseum and expertly tying relevant aspects to the tour in Pompeii that we were doing the following day. Highly recommend!

Our family (six people) had a private tour of the Colosseum Underground, Roman Forum and the Palatine hill palace area. This was the highlight of our Italy trip by far. Renata was our tour guide. She was passionate and knowledgeable about the history. She naturally guided us through the historical sites with illustrations, overviews and specific areas we should view. Her insights were well integrated, interesting and to the point. Outstanding tour. Also a special thanks to Gemma, her coordination and proactive communication with some timing trip challenges we had were well appreciated. Thank you.

We, and others in our party, thought that the Colosseum Underground tour was going to be at the time we booked. However, we had a tour of the Roman Forums for almost 2 hours before the underground tour. Then, we only had 40 minutes to experience the tour and were completely rushed by the Colosseum staff. Sabrina, our tour guide, was phenomenal and very knowledgeable on the roman history

Ranata was patient and great tour guide. She knew how to convey the architecure and history of the colosseum and forum. She ensured we covers everything with closer to 3.5 hours !

This by far was the best thing we did in Rome. Our tour guide renata was amazing and provided us with so much history. She took her time to answer my 1000 questions and stopped endlessly so we can capture all of our amazing photos recapping the day. Highly recommend!
