Our guide, Valentina, was a very knowledgeable art historian who through storytelling made the ancient ruins come alive. Unfortunately it was pouring rain that day, but she was able to minimize the time we spent under a downpour while covering all the areas of the ancient ruins. We highly recommend this tour.

Ivana was an absolutely amazing guide. She made the group automatically feel comfortable and had a vibrant personality that allowed every guest to come out of their shell while being super informative and keeping us engaged during the whole tour. It was also extremely easy to find the meeting point and get checked in. Just be prepared for lots of walking, wear sunscreen, and bring water!

Our tour guide was outstanding. Would definitely recommend AND have her as our tour guide again. Unfortunately, due to long lines we had to rush through some great photo opportunities in the forum in order to get to the coliseum.

Regardless of really bad rain, Valentina lead us with incredible enthusiasm, knowledge and patience to answer any questions that came up. Many tour guides would rush to get the tour over with if phased with the weather we were doing but Valentina pushed us through with a smile on her face. You can tell she loves what she does and she’s great at it.
