Beautiful Rome in the evening - Absolutely loved this tour! Such a great way to see the city and learn about Rome’s rich history and architecture. Brian was an amazing guide! We gave us a detailed overview of key structures and showed us significant parts of the city. Our kids (ages 11 and 9) were engaged and enjoyed hearing the stories Brian shared. We also appreciated Brian sharing suggestions for where to eat/ drink after the tour. Highly recommend doing this activity while in Rome!

Walks with passion of the past. - Louise was our tour guide & she was amazing. She had so much knowledge! She remembered dates & names. And threw in some fun as well. If you’re going to do a tour, Louise is who you want!!! She took you back in time so much that that you could see it in your mind. Seeing the Roman fort & Coliseum under lights is truly STUNNING.

A well worthwhile tour - Our guide Louise was fantastic she could answer every question and explain in detail the history of ancient rome, overlooking the Roman forums she explained the life of ancient rome, Julius ceasers funeral and much more, the explanation of Trajans forum and how they were found was fantastic too and the Colosseum and it's back story... Just wow.... There are some things I have left out as you need to do the tour to understand them but I strongly recommend people who are coming to Rome for the first time to do this tour

Tour felt rushed - The tour guide was informative. However, I felt the tour was rushed. The description also said there would be plenty of opportunities for photos but we missed some great photo opportunities as the sun was setting because the tour guide would not stop. So we had to do one or the other. Listen to him or snap a photo while he was talking. I liked the places and landmarks that we visited.
