Fabulous tour guide very helpful staff

We almost missed the tour because the traffic in Rome was horrendous that day and it took us an hour to do a journey that should have taken 20 minutes Visitors are given very strict time slots However the staff at EcoArt could not have been more helpful communicating with me during the journey and eventually WhatsApping me the tickets so that we could try and get through the barriers in time We made it by the skin or our teeth and were able to join the tour just inside the Colosseum Im so glad we made it as the tour was great Nicoletta is lovely and was very informative and patient We didnt go down to the arena floor but didnt feel the need to as we had perfect views from above I would 100 recommend this tour

Our guide Monica was FANTASTIC Truly one of the best guides weve ever had The tour was smooth and informative Headsets worked well and we were able to hear her perfectly even in the crowded areas She had a few complications from guests not from her or the company that she had to handle and she did it very very well We all had a wonderful time and I highly recommend

Emanuela truly made our Colosseum Palatine experience

Emanuela was FANTASTIC It was pouring rain with strong winds blowing us sideways the morning that we did the Colosseum and Palatine tour but Emanuela helped to brighten the day and lift spirits despite the tough conditions We learned a lot on our tour and it ended up being one of our favorite tours in Rome Her energy knowledge and fun Italian spirit really made the tour experience all that much better for us even though half of our groups umbrellas ended up getting damaged from the storm and most of us were wet lol We learned so much deep history of the Colosseum and she took us to all the best view points of the Palatine amazing She should be a part time standup comedian because I would 100 attend her shows We were running just a few minutes late and she was also very responsive for us and waited for us while we ran through deep puddles to make our time slot Thank you so much
