The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and stone, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Dedicated for use by the Roman people and free of charge, it was the largest structure of its kind in the Roman world; its seating capacity of 50,000 spectators was exceeded only by the capacity of the Theatre of Marcellus.

Daniele is a pleasure to spend time with
We were delighted to spend time walking around with Daniele. He was kind enough to meet us in our hotel which was a bit away from the usual areas. We went into churches that we would definitely have missed without him. We also caught the changing of the guard at the presidential palace and had a nice beer and a chat in a rooftop bar. Daniele gave us some tips on some other things to see while we were in Rome which were really useful. We highly recommend Daniele as a guide.

Fantastic Colosseum and Forum tour
My family of four (two adults, two children ages 11 and 8) really enjoyed taking a personal tour with Cecilia. We were able to skip the queue and hear Cecilia’s extensive knowledge of Rome. Cecilia tailored the tour for us and she was brilliant in keeping the children engaged throughout. Would highly recommend a personal tour with Cecilia!

Valeria really made our stay!!!
From start to finish Valeria was a fabulous host! She came well equipped with her imagery and showed us where we were and how it would have looked in the past. Every question was answered and we really felt like we knew so much more about the Eternal City. Highly recommended and importantly as a family we will remember how Valeria enhanced our experience. A very engaging and lovely person who made us feel so very welcome.
