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.

Wow, one of the best tours we had in Rome. Our tour guide, Gabriel, is an archeologist. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. I 100% recommend him and this group.
