This tour was just OK. Anyone could visit the places on their own.

The tour guide was really interesting. She made sure she made herself clear with every information she shared with us. We would definitely recommend her. (Too bad I forgot her name)

This supposed half day tour actually lasted less than 2 hours.We were to start at 0930 the guide arrived a little late then we sat in the Hotel Lobby and discussed Optional tours. We started off a little after 1000 and we were unable to see many off the sights due to a varity of reasons and finished back in the hotel lobby just after 1100 am when we sat in the lobby again while the lady made a pile of phone calls to arrange the option tours we selected.. I managed to get away from her after 1200 noon. She did manage these optional tours and they went well. But the half day actual tour lasted as you can see no longer than 1 hour maybe one & a half hours max. This was not very satisfactory.

The guide had master degree in art and knew a lot of history. Answered each question with pacience and knowledge. Her name is Barbara, but isn't related to the barbarians! Not any more.

Again, another great tour from Dark Rome ... These guys are well organised with audio aids that let you hear all the commentary from the guide. Some great insights into the areas that we visited.

The tour was very interesting and our guide really knew his subjects.He had brought along a book that showed how everything was built and what it would have looked like and that really helped with the experience,especially with our two children aged 12 & 14.

Very good tour, and we had the best guide, Marina. She was awesome! She kept us busy all the way and we learned a lot about Colosseum and all other places we have been to. So thanks a lot, Marina! And, guys, it was really nice to skip the long line at the entrance and just waked in. We saved a lot of time and nerves on that. The only thing that we think could be better is a way desc<x>ription. We didn't find a meeting point at once and almost missed the tour, so it could be nice with some map, maybe?

Most unfortunately, this tour was cancelled on the morning we arrived, because the guards at the Colosseum were on strike that day! We did walk around outside the Colosseum and the Forum, and still enjoyed our time there, but were certainly disappointed to be unable to enter these historic sites. We trust there will be no problem in getting our tour costs refunded!

We were really pleased that we did this tour. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained the Colosseum very well and never rushed us, there was always time for photos.
Maybe because of the heat, it was a very hot day, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill was not as interesting, but as I said I think that was more down to me than the guide.
I would definitely recommend this tour as you get best of both worlds, you skip lines for both the Colosseum and the Forum and you get things explained to you wonderfully well. Thanks Maurisimo.

Dark Rome was a great tour company. They were organized and well run. While on this trip we used a different tour company for our trip to Naples and Pompeii and it was terrible. We loved both of our Dark Rome tours. Stella was our tour guide and she was fabulous. She was so cute, knowledgeable and animated during her presentations.

This was quite a pricey tour but well worth every penny. Not having to stand in long queues being one bonus point. Our guide, Francesca, was friendly, knowledgeable and brought history to life. Her English was excellent. We were given personal headsets so as to hear the commentary clearly without Francesca having to shout above all other tourists. We would recommend comfortable shoes and plenty of water as you are walking for 3 hours.
