The local Carpe Diem Tour Guide Evi was great. She was really knowledgable about all the spaces and accommodating to some mobility concerns we had. We had a great time and had a comprehensive tour.Primitivo

We LOVED Silvia! She was wonderful and so informative. Would have spent all day with her if we could. The places we got to see were we're just incredible. Plan more time then just the 2 hours as getting from one place to the next (especially if you have slow walkers or elderly individuals along) can really eat up some time. Would do it again!Lauren

We booked a guided tour because there's so much history we wanted to learn about rather than just walking around aimlessly.Martin

An unmatched introduction to the Eternal City
After meeting your guide, you will be led to the dominating Colosseum. Make your way directly into the world’s largest amphitheater ever constructed. Your tour guide will regale you with stories of the infamous gladiator games. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles.
