The tour, and our guide Paul in particular, was amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Roman and ancient history and on oh we exactly what to share about each site. I highly, highly recommend Paul and this tour to anyone who’s interested in the sights and history.

Itinerary
Start your journey outside the Colosseum and be impressed by the largest amphitheater ever built. Hear about the construction techniques used by ancient engineers and get fascinated by stories of bloody games and gladiators. Let the evening lights elevate your experience.
Have a close look at the famous Arch of Constantine and understand why it is considered an open-sky museum of Roman sculptures and reliefs. Walk the steps of the Ancient Romans under the moonlight and travel back to the tribal beginnings of Rome.
Marvel at the illuminated ruins of the Roman Forum from the outside balconies on your way. See the temple of Castor and Pollux, the Arch of Titus and the Senate House, and learn about the political and religious life of Ancient Rome. Hear about notorious Emperors and appreciate the emotional contrast between the romantically lit-up city and its violent past.
Continue towards the Trajan's Forum and be impressed by the suggestive ruins of its famous Market. Stand in front of the triumphal Column of Trajan and read the emperor's victories sculpted on its spiraling scrolls.
Climb the Capitoline Hill and find yourself in the famous square designed by Michelangelo. Delight in the humbling beauty of the panoramic view over the Roman Forums at night. End your tour at the very heart of both ancient and modern Rome.

We did not meet up with our tour. We messaged and called, but did not get a response. Ended up just going on our own. Would not recommend.
Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate. He spoke with authority, knowledge, and an obvious love for the subject. He had supplementary pictures, was open and eager for questions, and taught us a semester of college worth of knowledge on a leisurely 2 hour walk. He took pictures of us, even suggesting good spots for pictures. Overall incredible experience.
We enjoyed our evening walking tour....there was lots of great information shared! We do wish we had the opportunity to go into the colosseum but that didn't work for us. Our tour guide was very informative and loved sharing his knowledge!! Would def recommend!

What a wonderful tour this was! Whilst it did not include entry into the Colosseum or the Forums, we really didn't need it. Everything is very visible while walking along the streets of ancient Rome at dusk. The temperature was very pleasant compared to the scorch during the day and Zenda was one of the best your guides I've had in Rome! So knowledgeable and so in love with Rome and it's history. She answered all of our questions and was an absolute pleasure to be around too! She even impressed the tourists around us were definitely sneaking by and listening in. The customer service is also great. We got stuck in traffic and were running a little late and called the number on the ticket/booking. The gentleman we spoke with was very helpful so there was no issue in the end. Thank you Zenda and Touriks for a marvellous experience!

First of all I can say that I was very lucky, because I had SERENA as my guide! This woman is fantastic, she made me relive the moments of the past telling them with so much passion, knowledge and feeling, I often paused to think and imagine the atrocities and beauties of that time. In conclusion I can tell you to rely 100% on her.... I spent 4 wonderful hours, yes the tour lasted even longer!! Thank you so much!
