It was a wonderful tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly!! She answered all our questions completely and carried around a sunflower so we could keep track of her!! She had great pictures to explain things with😀 Thank you for a great time…
Our guide was so knowledgeable. We learned a lot. Lorenzo made getting through the crowds very easy. We booked a semi-private tour which was perfect. Highly recommend this tour with an early start date.
Donatella was an exceptional guide! Her knowledge base was deep and wide. Her delivery was animated and entertaining. And…she was kind and helpful too! Also we could easily understand her English I would highly recommend Donatella with From Here to Eternity!
Our tour guide Renata was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and kind. Our almost 3 year old grandson was along on the tour and Renata was very patient, altering the itinerary to accommodate his restless moments. We learned so much on this private tour and certainly recommend our guide.
Our guide Rocco was fantastic. Great sense of humor and great energy. Kept us engaged the whole time and kept us motivated through the tour as it was hot and even when we were getting tired he motivated us. Highly recommend this tour company.
Roberta was an exemplary guide. Extremely knowledgeable, attentive to our needs, professional and personable. Would highly recommend.
Fredricka was amazing! So entertaining and her archaeological knowledge was extremely impressive. She made an already amazing experience even more amazing.
Great tour. We booked a small private tour and it was just the two us plus the guide. Very informative and interesting. We learned much of the history of Rome and the different cultures that have lived in the area. Many amazing facts and things to see. The only thing we would change is the time of year. August was hot. Come to Rome between mid September and May
Our small group tour guide, Paolo, was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and the pacing was just right. An added fun bonus was his culinary botanical pop quizzes. He actively helped us manage the summer weather by seeking out shade for us to stand under and a couple cold drinking fountain stops. I highly recommend this tour.
Donatella was world class, she gave us a tour that made it feel like we were experiencing it first hand. She is passionate and understands the history so well. Thanks for a wonderful day.
I had the most wonderful time with my family and learnt so much during the 3 hour tour. Our guide Donnatella Mauceri was so knowledgeable and made a concerted effort to make the tour special. It has always been one of my dreams to go to see the Colosseum and she really made it incredibly memorable. A true dream come true, made better with a great guide.
Marta was great on a very hot day, told it was 40C. tour was informative allowing for photographs and Marta was kind enough to take family pics on several occasions. Being a hot day she included stops at water fountains to top up bottles. I can recommend this small group tour - no standing in line for tickets, quick entrance through various points including bag searches.
Donatella was an excellent guide. So knowledgeable and had many extra facts and information which made the tour even more enjoyable. Very patient and considerate guide Thank you .
Please put your legal name because I put my nickname on the ticket and they would not let me participate on the tour even though I paid for it and I had the tickets. No refund!
Outstanding tour guide! Knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. Made the Colosseum and Forum come alive with fascinating history. Highly recommend!
Donatella was amazing. She knew so much about the Coliseum, the Forum & the Paletine Hill. This was a great tour and I’m glad she was the one who was our guide.
What a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny! 10/10 reccomend!
Donatella was fantastic! She was informative and considerate. It was intensely hot (95 F) and she consistently found little bits of shade and cool water stops for us to stay hydrated, all while sharing bits of knowledge and giving us context to imagine the splendor, architecture, and everyday life of Romans in centuries past. It seemed that every other tour group we passed was huge. Ours was just 6 people - truly semi private - which gave us freedom to ask lots of questions and take some great pictures. Donatella’s deep knowledge and obvious passion for Rome were apparent throughout. And it was a huge advantage for her to navigate our way through the insane crowds trying to get into the coliseum - we definitely made it through the lines and security much faster than people without tour guides! Thank you so much, Dona!
Our Private Colosseum and Palatine Hill Tour with Patricia was excellent! She is really passionate about Italian history and really took the time to thoroughly explain things while making sure we hit the highlights. She also added personal anecdotes which were great, took time to make sure our questions were answered and even gave us extra time! We highly recommend her!! Thanks again, Patricia!!!
Our tour was fantastic. We covered the entire complex for a very pleasurable and what felt like a quick 3 hrs. Our guide was extremely knowlegable as well as affable. We highly recommend this tour!!!! Anna, Jim & Family
Really fabulous tour! Guide was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand. It was hot the day we went but our guide was able to find a shady spot for almost every stop.
Such a fantastic private tour through the Colosseum! Eugenia brought the history alive. Her knowledge and examples of what the buildings of the Forum looked like were great! Thank you for a great tour Eugenia! We have used Through Eternity for all our tours this week! They have been excellent all the way!!
Excellent tour. This was just the right length. Our guide, Inga, was excellent. She tailored her talk to our interests and was very considerate about talking in the shade when possible, as it was very hot. Inga was very knowledgeable and perfectly balanced stories with historical information and facts. She was able to find just the right spots for us to view, even in heavy crowds. I love the small groups.
Eugenia was an excellent guide. Her knowledge is incredible and she shares her knowledge in a story like way. The tour inspired me to buy a book on Roman history in the gift shop.
A great private tour, great communication ahead of the tour. A really informative trip around the colosseum, palatine hill and forum with our amazing tour guide, Elena.
Donato was incredibly well educated and thoughtful. Thorough tour of forum, hill and Colosseum. Bring an umbrella for the sun and refillable water bottles.
We took this tour on 30-Apr at 2:30p. Weather was fantastic. There is a lot of up and down walking. There is so much history along the journey, from temples to churches and then the famous colosseum. Value was very good overall. We would do this tour again with this same operator!
Enzo was an amazing guide. His extreme education and passion for his work was evident, but he spoke at a level that allowed his audience to learn so much!
Our experience was incredible! We could not have asked for a better guide. He was knowledgeable, witty, thorough and truly brought the wonderful history alive for us. I don’t think it would have been as impactful if we had tried to do it on our own. My favourite was the colosseum, the way he did it, it made me feel as if I was being transported back in time. It was truly wonderful and I would highly recommend this tour.
Enzo was a fountain of knowledge! Better than I could imagine - I would give 10 stats of possible. We could have gone for hours. Thank you for the journey.
Had a great semi-private tour with Eugenia of the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum! She was very thorough in her explanations and shared a lot of very good information.
This tour was incredible. Our guide, Enzo, did a great job giving us the highlights plus personalized facts! He was informed, personable, and genuine.
Ansel was an incredible guide. Very enjoyable!
Pleasant and well-informed guide. Went an appropriate pace based on the group needs.
Guide was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Fantastic tour. Highly recommend.
Ana was amazing. We had a great experience.
Somewhat crowded. Did not affect my experience
Wonderful tour with Ricardo. This was a semi private tour but it turned out that we were the only participants so we had Ricardo to ourselves and he was outstanding. He has fabulous knowledge that he imparted in such an interesting way, we really enjoyed it, fascinating!
This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. We booked a semi-private tour but ended up being the only people in the tour. So it was just my wife and I with our guide. He was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the topics, the history, the region. Just a wealth of knowledge. He kept us engaged the entire time by asking questions while we walked from place to place. The three hours felt like the right amount of time. We weren't rushed and doing the tour in January it was not crazy crowded at the landmarks. It was worth the price that we paid and I would book it again.
The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Donatella, helped us visualize the Roman Forum with the stories she told and pictures she showed us. The history was fascinating. We learned so much and a lot of the information was unexpected and painted the picture of life during that time. Donatella was very knowledgeable and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our guide!!
We had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Donatella is such a kind soul. She was knowledgeable, and was a pleasure to spend the morning with.
Excellent experience with Eugenia. She was extremely knowledgeable, kept a good walking and talking pace, answered all of our questions, had a warm and friendly demeanor and was very hospitable. She allowed time for photos and shared her book of what researchers believe ruins looked like. Would definitely tour with her again!
Our Colosseum tour was very informative and our guide did a very good job relaying the information and answering questions. The only negative thing I would say is that we found it a little long. The highlight is going to the Colosseum where you spend about 30 minutes at the end of the tour. We felt that the Forum and Palatine Hill portion could have been a little shorter. Overall, we would still recommend this tour.
Excellent knowledgeable guide! Very informative! Kept us interested and entertained for the full tour. Would recommend!
Fairly fast paced. There are a lot of steps to navigate. Not always enough time to snap photos while passing through.
Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. It was an amazing tour. We saw and learned so much. Would highly recommend this tour and tour company
We had a wonderful time with our guide, Maria. She was super knowledgeable and very accommodating for the diverse crowd in our group. There was not a question she couldn’t answer! I loved her added stories and nuances. The tour itself is awe-inspiring. It’s crazy to walk on the same grounds as the people who lived and served in the Roman forum.
Leah was funny, interesting and intelligent. Made very dry history come alive. Very impressed and we could tell that she cared for us as individuals.
This tour was fast paced, but covered a lot of ground. It is difficult to cover the Forum, Palatine, and Colosseum in only 3 hours, but it was done in a manner that did not feel so rushed. Our guide Enrica was able to engage the group with her story telling and clear explanations of the historical importance of each site. When the guided portion of the tour ended inside the Colosseum, we were given the option to exit with the guide or stay inside and explore on our own for as long as we like.
