My guide was called Luisa. Great tour! We could do everything without waiting to long. Our guide was always caring for us, asking if everything was alright, stopped for the restroom and to drink water with this warm weather. She never was in a hurry. Also when we were waiting for people she was always talking and telling stories. So great experience!

Explore the Colosseum from its seating tiers to the in-house museum, with stories of gladiators, politics, and Roman engineering.

We did the guided tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Romes Hostory. I liked that we went at our own speed. It didnt feel rushed. We were given plenty of time for photos also.

Teresa, our guide, planned the tour in a way that made the heat more bearable. So we were able to focus on her explanations.
