Cecila was absolutely fantastic. We went on several tours during our time in Rome, and the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill guided tour was by far our favorite. A tour can truly be made or broken by the guide, and Cecila is exceptional. I don’t need someone to spend three hours rattling off facts like a PowerPoint presentation—I can get that from my phone or AI. What makes a tour memorable is when facts are woven into stories that bring the time period to life. Cecila did exactly that. She kept everyone engaged, navigated us seamlessly through crowds, and explained everything clearly and accessibly. I would rate her 10/10 and highly recommend her and this tour.
We had the best time with our tour guide Tiberio during the tour of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill! Tiberio was very knowledgeable and kept us interested for the whole tour (which does not happen a lot…). We had a lot of laughs, learned a lot and also had some personal conversations, we cannot recommend him enough.
Terrific tour with the best guy ever! Thanks Cecilia!
Zara was the best tour guy we ever had!!! I will come back and I will trust you again. Best experience of our trip!
Our guide Cecilia was wonderful, telling the roman history in a light and interesting way! I only had difficulty finding the company at the meeting point in Largo Corrado Ricci. But as soon as I found Cecilia, she directed me.
Amazing tour! Zara was amazing and it was perfect!!!
We were few but everything was good! Excellent tour, excellent guide. She had very good support material that helped to better understand the explanations. Recommended!
I took this tour on August 23, 2024. We met across the street in a mini park area near the entrance to the Roman Forum at Largo Corrado Ricci at the intersection of Via de Cavour and Via dei Fori Imperiali.
Zara was our tour guide. She was fantastic!! She is very knowledgeable and explained in detail the history of the ruins. She had a booklet with pictures of how parts of the Roman Forum and Colloseum used to look like before the ruins evolved over time and parts like the decorative bronze elements were removed and transferred to other
sites such as St Peter’s Basilica.
Zara was considerate throughout the tour. It was brutally hot and she knew when we needed to rest and where to seek shade.
All in all from start to finish, we were given a highly interesting tour which ended at the Colosseum. Zara even took pictures for us along the way and was so personable!!
I would highly recommend this tour, the price is very reasonable and it was great that we had audio from start to end to listen to Zara as it’s the busiest time of year and is very crowded.
Thank you so much Zara, you truly are the best. I can’t recommend her and numa tours enough!

Although the Colosseum and Forum was very crowded, it was a pleasant visit. I recommend it!
Very good with Fabio. We did the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill. We enjoyed it a lot; he gave great explanations and has a very good sense of humor. I would recommend him.
