Overview of your Rome tour

The Colosseum is one of the unmissable places when in Rome! This 2 hours tour is the best way to discover all the secrets and stories behind this two thousand years old building! I was born and raised in Rome, the Colosseum is the place where I used to go when I was a kid to play hide and seek with my friends and probably this is the reason why I started studying Roman history and became a tour guide! The tour starts outside the Colosseum with an intoduction of the surrounding area, then we get inside the largest amphitheatre of the Roman empire, ready to discover everything about the Colosseum, gladiators, emperors and all the spectacles held during the Roman empire. . . Even if you are not a super Roman history fan, I'm sure you will love visiting the Colosseum with me! Book Now or if you need more information contact me!

Carlo provided a tour of the Colosseum for our family. I would highly recommend Carlo, he was a pro active communicator prior to the tour, on time and courtesy. He is extremely interesting and attentive during the tour and he brought the Colosseum to life. He is a genuine and friendly individual. One our of top vacation highlights! Thanks Carlo!

Great tour of the Colosseum which was much enjoyed by our family of 6 people. Very informative and interesting and Carlo was full of enthusiasm. Carlo was very helpful in suggesting things to see outside of the tour. Would highly recommend.

Carlo is an amazing host and tour operator. He provided a 5 star tour and I would totally recommend him to anyone travelling to Rome. Had we known we would have booked him for a solid day in Rome. Thank you Carlo for your patience and kindness as we ran late in meeting up with you. Donna

Carlo is not only super knowledgeable, he is super nice.We were lucky to have someone so willing to accommodate our needs as seniors . We felt the experiences and knowledge he shared made the sites and monuments so much more meaningful.

Carlo is a real professional and his English skills are first rate. He has gone above on beyond on all of his tours so far. We have booked 6 tours with him and have done 4 including this one. We have used guides with many of our tours around different countries and he scores at the top. I would recommend him to anyone considering a private tour in Rome.
