We absolutely loved our tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and the folder she carried with the drawings of what the buildings from the past would have looked like was excellent. We would definitely take this tour again. Michael

Our guide was great. She was very knowledgeable about all the locations we went to. We even discussed the flowers, trees and plants growing in the area which was a great piece of knowledge to take away. Overall great experience. Would love to do it again.

My daughter and I had a wonderful private tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with Bogdan. His in-depth knowledge of the subjects and his enthusiasm made for an entertaining and informative tour. A special mention too to his calm and expert handling of a rather grumpy lift attendant at the Colosseum who for a very strange reason only known to herself initially refused to let us use the lift! Bogdan soon sorted this out for us! I would certainly recommend him for future tours.

I can’t say enough great things about our Private Colosseum Tour with Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Fabrizio, our guide, was knowledgeable, kind, and so considerate of my 75-year-old mom who struggles with walking. He made sure we saw every highlight at an easy pace and shared fascinating insights along the way. Highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable, hassle-free experience!

Excellent tour with Michele. Well organized, good pace for our group of 7 incl. one toddler and stroller / baby allowing us to skip huge lines. Michele was a wealth of information mixing humor with historical detail and context of the lives Gladiators lead in Roman culture and society. We also appreciated that he was extremely courteous and had an excellent command of English for our US based family.
Great Tour

We really enjoyed this tour, in large part because our guide, Serena, was fantastic. This tour covers a lot of ground because there is so much to see. Serena covered the big stuff of course, but also pointed out several small fascinating details that aren't in any guidebooks and I would have never noticed. My teenage kids really loved this tour.

Our private tour with our guide Serena was amazing! First of all, Serena was extremely nice and a very engaging speaker. She really brought everything to life. Secondly, the private tour is one of the best ways to see and learn; the ability to have a conversation makes it all much better. Finally, the tour is wonderful; seeing the things that we had only heard about in school really made our trip amazing.

Incredible experience in Rome

Our group of six (four adults, two children) had an excellent experience with Monica, our tour guide, through the Amphitheatrum Flavium (a.k.a. Colosseum), Palatine Hill, and the Forum. No one in our party had any Italian language skills, but Monica spoke English completely fluently. She had a trove of information on Roman history in general, as well as deep knowledge of the specific areas we were visiting. It was an incredible experience!
Another 5 Stars for the Great Kate of Rome!

After our first incredible tour with Kate, we knew she was something special. When we met her for our second adventure, exploring the Coliseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Kate’s warmth and charisma made the day feel effortlessly fun, and her unparalleled knowledge brought these ancient sites to life in a way we could never have imagined. Kate has an extraordinary ability to transport you back in time, weaving fascinating stories about gladiators, emperors, and Roman life into the grandeur of the ruins. She made history tangible, helping us truly appreciate the significance of what we were seeing while keeping the experience lighthearted and engaging. What truly sets Kate apart is how deeply she cares about her clients. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and pace, ensuring we got the most out of every moment without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and her genuine kindness shines through in everything she does. By the end of the tour, we weren’t just admiring the Coliseum and the Forum—we were completely in awe of Kate herself. If you’re lucky enough to book her for a tour, don’t hesitate. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, Kate will make your visit unforgettable. She’s not just a guide; to us, she’s the Great Kate of Rome (that’s what we named her and so fitting) and we can’t wait to come back and explore more with her! With love dear Kate, see you in Napa!
