Excellent Guided Tour - Excellent tour provided by City Wonders . The fee paid was very good for the guided tour and length of tour was just right. The crowds were large but we didn't have to wait since we were on a guided tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the visit worthwhile. I would highly recommend doing a guided tour otherwise you ware just wandering around and not learning anything. All the guides with City Wonders have been enthusiastic and really enjoy what they are doing. Don't hesitate booking with City Wonders, they ave been very good.

Wonder of amazement from a city full of history - When we got there, the guides were there they were very organized. Our guide was very professional personable, and very down to earth lotta knowledge and everything that he explained on our guided tour. There was a problem with one part of the tour where it was out of everyone's control because part of the park electricity was out, so he improvised and took us on an out outside the area down the street further and gave us some insights on the other monuments of the city before we came back to do the inside the Colosseum tour so he made it still worth every penny you spend and it was not a disappointment we enjoyed every bit of it. The Colosseum was absolutely amazing. There was certain parts of that tour of that brought me to tears, knowing the history behind that landmark when it was built.

Patrick gives a wonderful historical tour of the Roman Collaseum - This has been one of the best tours ever!! Patrick our tour guide was so knowledgeable and experienced in not only the history of the colosseum but the plants and trees as well. He allowed time and stopped for those in our group who could not walk as fast ( my friend had a fractured ankle that was still healing). I really appreciated the culture and history
