Highly recommend this tour! - Our guide, Olesea, was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the colosseum and Roman forum. We did the 4pm tour and it was lovely- the sun was starting to set over the Roman forum by the time we got to it and it was magnificent. Highly recommend this tour- wear comfortable shoes, bring water! Crown tours was highly organized and efficient.

Unbelievable Step Back in Time - Lots of walking and standing but worth every step! Standing in the middle of an arena that was started over 2000 years ago! Totally unbelievable to think of the knowledge and understanding of building they must have had just to stack these huge stones together with no concrete or steel. Even imagining how they were able to cut the boulders so exact using manual labor! Our guide, Jessica, was magnificent

Worth Every Euro - The various security checks at the Colosseum let the tours in a separate line, which reduces the amount of walking substantially. Absolutely worth it. The three tour guides I had over three days were all excellent. Seeing pictures (to say nothing of movies) of the colosseum don’t do it justice, it’s much bigger than you envision and, also, heavier than you expect because of the huge marble columns. It’s worth a trip to Rome for that alone, and the tour guide was great and clearly loved Rome’s history.
