We had a tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum on June 8th with our guide, Irene. Somehow, it ended up being just my wife and me with this amazing guide. Irene was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the architecture and history of these ancient sites, but also about the broader history of Rome and the political and religious context that shaped the city.
To be honest, we were hesitant going into it, especially after enduring a long-winded tour the previous day. But Irene was so personable, engaging, and insightful that we were genuinely disappointed when the tour ended after three hours.
