Fantastic! Nina in the morning at the Colosseum/Forum was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We walked away from the tour with the comfort we knew a lot more about Roman History. Marina in the afternoon managed us expertly through a crowded city and entertained us with her knowledge on Roman art.

Fantastic guide and information - so much better to have a guide, skip the lines and receive information not easily found in guide books!

You may have visited ancient Rome on your on in the past, but seeing it through the eyes of a professional guide gives a totally different perspective. With our guides words, the ancient trading duomo came to life. The Palatine Hills came alive. Looking down at the emporer's personal stadium at the end of the tour illustrated the power of the Roman Empire. (Of course, the Collosseum is a jaw dropping experience. Don't forget to have your guide show you the men's room.)
After grabbin a byte and taking the metro across town, we began the walking tour. There is so much to see. The guide made sure that we didn't miss the subtleties. Our guide had two degrees, one in Art History and the other in Archeology. He was like getting a semester of Roman History in about 4 hours. It is a true pleasure to be guided by someone that is passionate about his work. Doing the walk alone is great, but doing it with an expert creates lifelong memories.

The Colosseum coverage was perfunctory but OK. The original guide called in sick so a replacement was found at short notice on her day off.The afternoon walking tour was as good as it gets with an animated and extremely knowledgeable guide.He revealed the spirit and character of Rome. Fantastic.

Ancient Rome is just sensational nothing more needs to be said! The "best of Rome" tour was also very good and showed us parts of the city that we probably wouldn't have found or visited otherwise...
The wireless earphones make the tours so much more worthwhile...

Unbelievable line-ups for the Colleseum - so glad we took this tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave good information on the history. Enjoyed the casual walk in the afternoon exploring the highlights of Rome. Guide was easy to listen to despite crowded venues.

This is well worth it!! the company with whom you contract to coordinate this walking tour, Dark Rome Tours, is well organized, full of all kinds of information, prompt, and considerate. Only for those with plenty of stamina. The most walking I've ever done on a tour.A must for all who visit Rome!

Very good tour! The tour guide made the trip very enjoyable and explained everything in great detail. She was very interactive with the group offering to take pictures wherever you wanted. She paused whenever anyone would request to see things, so you were not rushed. She pointed out things that you would never understand or notice if you simply walked around by yourself. I would recommend this tour.
