Overview of your Rome tour

When I was a kid, I loved walking through the ruins of ancient Rome, I wondered how it'd have been living during the Roman empire after many years of study, finally I know and I love share it with my guests. This tour is designed to discover everything about the Colosseum and the daily life in the Ancient Rome! Starting with an introduction outside the Colosseum, we get inside through a "skip the line" entrance, avoiding crowds and endless lines. Once inside you'll learn everything about Gladiators, Emperors and spectacles that took place on the Arena floor. The tour continues to the Palatine Hill, where Rome was founded and Emperors lived in their magnificent Palace, then climb down to the Roman Forum, heart of Ancient Rome, on the Via Sacra (sacred way) you will admire the best preserved Roman temples. Walking Via dei Fori imperiali, we'll reach the Imperial Fora and admire one of the most underrated monument of Rome the Trajan's Column and its markets.

Carlo's enthusiasm for Rome's history shined as he guided us around the sights of ancient Rome. From the Colosseum to the Forum, Carlo was able to help us better understand daily Roman life and the progression of Roman architecture from the Roman Republic through successive reigns of emperors. We learned so much and appreciated Carlo's vast knowledge. We had a memorable afternoon.

Carlo was our best tour guide yet in the 5 weeks we have been traveling. As a historian, he is a walking library of information coupled with a great personality. We highly recommend Carlo V. and the Colosseum tour.

I highly recommend Carlo as a guide to anyone who really wants to delve into the details of Roman history! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about his work. This was my second tour with him, and he did not disappoint. A professional guide can do so much to make your experience informative and seamless! In addition to the Colosseum and Forum area, we had him guide us through the Basilica of San Clemente which I highly recommend! Thank you again Carlo for a delightful tour!

Carlo was an excellent tour guide for our family of four, visiting Rome and the Colosseum for the first time. Carlo was highly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. His tour covered not only the Colosseum but also the Palatine Hills, the Roman Forum, the Arch of Constantine and more. We learned so much and had a lot of fun. Thank you Carlo for a most memorable and enjoyable day. The Carradine Family

I highly recommend Carlo as a guide to the Colosseum and Forum. He also took time to take us on a tour of San Clemente Basilica which was fabulous. Carlo was knowledgeable and informative. Having someone explain things to you on an individual basis was so rewarding. He took his time and we never felt hurried. He even made a "sprint" to the metro to get a couple of waters. When I return to Rome with my husband, I plan to reach out to him again!!! Super experience. Thank you so much Carlo!

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.
