Great tour overall

Tonya_Z, Nov 2025

Giovanni did a great job going over all the details of the colosseum and showing us unique features. He detailed the history in an interesting way and was very courteous. My only minor suggestion for improving this tour would be not to wait to go into main areas. We booked the earliest tour we could to try and beat the crowd and even though it was offseason and less crowded than usual, due to stepping aside to hear info, people poured past us blocking all the great views and good photos. This was a little disappointing and we would have preferred to see the area first with less people in the way then hear the history so we get the best of both. But we still enjoyed the tour and thought Gio did an outstanding job!

Giovani (probably spelling that wrong) was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and had great recommendations!! Probably one of the best guides we’ve had since we’ve been in Rome! A+++
