How quick we passed the lines, the view and the feeling inside and outside of the colosseum. Also, the path of the roman forum with the colosseum view and at the end the Vittorio view, was magnificent

Our visit to the Colosseum was exceptional thanks to Valentina. Her deep knowledge of Roman history and her ability to narrate the events made the ruins come alive before our eyes. Not only does she master the historical facts, but she has an infectious enthusiasm and incredible patience to answer all our questions. If you are looking for an enriching and enjoyable experience, I highly recommend taking the tour with her. Thank you, Valentina, for making this trip unforgettable! The gaditanas.

Visit to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum truly memorable! Although it was November, the atmosphere was perfect and the sites even more impressive. Our guide was fantastic: brilliant, engaging and full of fascinating trivia. The two long hours literally flew by, but without ever losing content or insights. A very rich and enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Today I visited the Colosseum and the Forum. As soon as I walked in, it touched me more than I expected. The walls, the smell of stone and the silence among all those people felt almost magical. In the Colosseum, I thought about what once happened here, about the stories contained in those stones. And in the Forum, among the ruins in the sun, I felt how small I really am compared to time. Everything seemed to stand still for a moment.
