The tour was absolutely incredible. I can’t believe I got to see and stand in the tunnel the gladiators walked down to enter the colosseum! Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity that shouldn’t be passed up. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history of the colosseum and surrounding sites. Although the duration of the tour is listed at 75min, our tour lasted around 2 hours. I didn’t mind because there was a lot to see and learn and Italians have a lot to say when they’re passionate lol. It’s a bit tricky finding the meet up point but after that it was smooth as silk. I highly recommend using the bathroom before the tour begins!

Christina made this tour!! We could not have had a better guide. She was engaging, well spoken, professional, personable with the group and organized. She showed consideration for struggling group members. She demonstrated wisdom in knowing the best way for the group to get information, avoid the crowds (as much as possible), and instructed the group on etiquette. All your guides should arrive to be like her.

This tour was excellent and very worth the cost. The guide was very informative and it was nice to go in the less crowded areas with the guide, especially the underground.
