The meeting point was easy to find. Our guide was very nice, lively and above all very knowledgeable. Despite the bad weather, it was a very good lead. She responded to every question and was considerate of an older gentleman who was only able to cope with stress to a limited extent.

Sarah was a great guide. Compassionate and appreciated her willingness to move the group into the shade when possible. Funny and very knowledgeable. She came off as a former history teacher with a wealth of information. The tour was informative and interesting. We came on a hot day so definitely pack water. There are a few fountains with cold drinking water to refill your canisters. Would recommend.

Elena von Cititours hat uns toll durch das Kolosseum geführt. Vielen Dank dafür. Die Tour hätte eigentlich eine 1-Stündige Führung durch das Kolosseum und den ungeführten Eintritt zum Palatinhügel beeinhaltet. Effektiv führte uns Elena 1 1/2 Stunden durch das Kolosseum und machte noch eine Führung auf dem Palatinhügel. Tolle Sache, sehr empfehlenswert.
