Just simply amazing!! Our...

Kim_P, Jun 2026

Just simply amazing!! Our guide was fantastic - so much information and created a story behind the ruins for us…this experience wouldn’t have been the same without her! This was worth every penny - so many lines were bypassed due to the private nature of the tour (a must during the summer - even the ‘skip the line’ lines we do long!) and she was just dedicated to our group and all our questions. She was also very cognizant of our sun exposure while we went thru, constantly finding the shade where she could to bring us and continue sharing the story. The transportation service from our hotel made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. I would do it all over again, highly recommend! It was so worth it!

Dear Kim, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience and that Chiara helped bring the history of Ancient Rome to life through her storytelling, passion, and expertise. We will be sure to share your kind words with her, as she will be thrilled to know that her dedication made your visit so memorable. It is especially rewarding to hear that you appreciated not only the wealth of information she shared, but also the care she took in ensuring your comfort throughout the tour by finding shade whenever possible during the summer heat. We are also pleased that the private nature of the tour, the reduced waiting times, and the transportation service from your hotel helped make the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing Kai Travel. We truly hope to welcome you back to Rome for another unforgettable experience in the future. Warm regards, Ruth by Kai Travel

Denis our guide was exceptional. He was very well knowledgeable of the roman forum and the colosseum. He was also very patient as we were with our 81 year old mom. Learned a lot from this experience.
