Short and sweet. - This is a perfect tour for anyone who has en elderly relative or friend who may not be able to walk fast or walk far but would like to experience all the coliseum has to offer. Our guide was informative, charismatic, and told many funny stories. The tour ends inside the main level of the coliseum so you don’t go to the upper levels or down below. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Colosseum tour - Another great experience in Rome. Our tour company Touriks was very good in communicating with us about a time change and providing all relevant information. Check in location was easy to find and the process was efficient. The tour of the floor of the Colosseum Arena, the Roman Forum and Palatine provided a great insight to the activities in the area during the Roman times. Of course the tour was made all the better thanks to our guide Bogdan. His commentary was informative, easy to understand and just the right amount of humour. He also walked at a steady pace that us oldies could keep up with. Great to skip the lines as well.
