Traveler reviews
Catalina Made History Come Alive!
Our tour with Catalina was fantastic! She was super knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She answered every question I had and helped us to understand the deeper connections between our past and present. Her appreciation of the history showed with every site she took us through. Her passion and enthusiasm was infectious. It was a blast being able to learn from her. I’d do it again in a heart beat. If you want a detailed tour with tons of information, do this one! Plus, with the private tour we waited in no lines. It truly felt private and personal.
Excellent private tour of the Colosseum and Forum!
Laura is a gem. My husband is the history buff, me not so much. She managed to keep us both interested all tour.
