We decided to give this a try while on a mini vacation with our friends, after a little getting used to the workings off the Segways we were off. All 4 of us were newbies to start with but soon became very comfortable, the interesting outdoor art exhibits were awesome and Kelly our guide did a good job of telling us some highlights during each stop. Definitely had a great time and made some good memories with our friends, we did a lot of things on this trip but we are happy we included this as one of them!

I will gladly tell you about both, I will become a guide to hidden places and advise delicious taverns. Together we will walk around the famous and not very sights of Rome (there will be surprises during the walk) and look at them from different angles.

We booked the Underground Colosseum tour in March but then Italy was placed under covid19 restrictions & our trip was cancelled We cancelled our tour a week before it was supposed to happen and contacted the company to request a refund. The CEO Piotr replied and requested that we wait 3 months for our refund due to the financial impact that covid19 had taken on their business. As I work in the hospitality industry in Ireland, I understood their difficulties, so with great trust, we agreed to wait 3 months for our refund. 9 months later, several unanswered phone calls & emails later, I have to accept that we were conned and will never receive our money back. Avoid booking tours with this company as they are crooks!
