The walk was fantastic! Were had a tour planned for the Roman Forum, but it was cancelled due to a tragic death of a member of the Forum staff… RIP… We booked this tour at the last minute as a replacement. It was great! We met up with Simone and the tour took us to several areas… explaining the history of the Roman Empire in great details and relating it to the areas we were visiting. He was knowledgeable, friendly, animated, enthusiastic… what more could you ask? It was a great experience… thank you so much Simone!

Christian was incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about the tour. Great English and articulation without any mic in busy spots. He gave the tour in a great chronological order which made it much easier to make sense of. Constantly checked in if we had questions and added humour and storytelling to the facts to keep us engaged. A very interesting tour with a very thorough guide! Would recommend!

We had a very informative and entertaining tour with Christian. The early evening time slot worked well as it was cooler and with less crowds so we could hear him well.

Christian was very informative, engaging us in Ancient Roman history with many stories of the Roman Empire & Republic. He was patient in answering questions, and managing a big group of >25 people. Thank you for a fantastic introduction to Rome & to Ancient Rome history!

Iris was an incredible knowledgable and fun guide! The amount of information distilled during this short amount of time was truly exceptional. Beginning the tour with the context to the fall of the Roman Republic, she laid the groundwork for explanations of the Roman Empire as we made our way along the route. She took us to lesser-known spots (all free to visit!) which gave us a closer view of important archaeological monuments that we otherwise wouldn’t have discovered ourselves! She was also happy to receive questions and gave well-researched answers with added context. Thank you Iris for your time and effort! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn a little more about the history of Rome while in the city!

It was an awesome tour that bought the ancient history of Rome to the current day. Well paced and Ivan really knew the spots to hit (even in unexpected torrential rain) Overall a wow wow tour and can absolutely encourage for any first time Rome visitors to understand why Rome is Rome
