Having said that, she also was a wealth of historical information and has a great sense of humor. The best tour guide I had while in Italy - bar none, Also, paying extra money not to be herded around with little time for photos or no time to take in the sheer wonder of what you are seeing/experiencing — along with having plenty of elbow room — is worth every penny you pay for this tour. The experience was incredibly enjoyable and I would not see the Doges…”

The underground section is definitely worth seeing, to get a better understanding of how the entertainment at the Colosseum was conducted. The Roman Forum part at the end of the tour was also excellent. I would recommend this to anyone instead of a self-guided tour. There are quite a few steep stairs involved, so be prepared with comfortable shoes!”

“Emanuele took us through the busy streets of Rome while we relaxed in the air conditioned van and enjoyed the commentary before he stopped at the sites. I have been on bus tours through Rome, but this is the first time I really saw and enjoyed the historical sites. Before, following the flag and bumping through crowds while trying to hear the guide was impossible. Then there was the heat. After telling him we were light eaters, he took as to a quiet restaurant where we ate a delicious light lunch in the shade. We strolled the local market afterwards, then continued our tour.”
