We loved our guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Maria, the guide, was funny and nice. She also made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand in as much as possible since the day of the tour was extremely hot.

Many thanks to our guide Said for this fascinating tour of the Colosseum, the Palatine and the Roman Forum! Thanks to him, history really came to life, even for our 13 and 17 year olds, whom he managed to put on stage! Clear explanations, lively anecdotes and well-judged humor: a real family pleasure. An enriching, fast-paced visit, conducted with passion and kindness. We highly recommend Said, who even recommended a good restaurant at our request!

I fell in love with Roma since playing Assassin's Creed games and after seeing it with my eyes, I'm still surprised how on earth everything was built...

My 13 year old daughter and I love Roman history and our guide made it come to life. Despite searing July heat, it was truly an amazing experience that we both would wholeheartedly recommend.

Seeing the Colosseum for the first time was a wow moment. But getting inside was just amazing and with the full experience of being taken around by our knowledgeable tour guide from Inside Out Italy made it quite special. The highlight was of course seeing the whole of the Colosseum from the arena floor but we also got taken up and round different floors and seeing it from different angles. Then after the Colosseum you're taken across to the Roman Hill and Paletine. So all in all it was what I would call a thorough tour the only bit we didn't see up close was the underground part of the Colosseum but you get to see the central underground section from the arena floor anyway. Well worth doing.

An unforgettable visit to the Colosseum thanks to our guide Said! His explanations were clear, full of anecdotes and very lively. You could tell he knew his subject inside out, and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Thanks to him, we discovered the Colosseum from a whole new angle, far beyond what you'd find in the usual guidebooks. Many thanks to Said for this fascinating experience!

The guide, Said, was engaging and very professional. She went well beyond the time of the visit as she understood that we were involved and interested in her explanations. The booking site worked well and the directions to the appointment were also clear and thorough. I will certainly have more experiences with you. Recommended!
