We had an amazing time on the tour! The guide was brilliant, friendly, super knowledgeable, and made the whole history come alive. Seeing the arena floor and underground was unreal, and we learned so much more than we would have on our own. Perfect tour if you want to really understand the Colosseum and hear all the best stories. Highly recommend!
