Colloseum Tour - Enjoyed the quick entry into the colloseum. The guide was very good. She kept a good pace and was very informative. The tour included more than the description of the tour.

Great way to visit the Colosseum - This was a great tour. We were a family group of 15 and this was an excellent way to see the colosseum. Our guide escorted us into and around the colosseum very smoothly and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour very much. Highly recommend this tour.
