The guide was very knowledgeable and having earphone definitely helped as it is very busy and would be difficult to hear without it. Very good tour, the only negative is the details for where to meet were incorrect, but fortunately we were directed to where we should go
This tour exceeded all of our expectations! Stepping directly onto the Colosseum's arena floor was nothing short of magical. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the ancient history of Rome to life with captivating stories and facts. The small group size made the experience even more personal and intimate. I can’t recommend this tour enough to anyone wanting a deep dive into Rome’s rich history. Worth every penny!
Overall, a fantastic experience, though there were a couple of minor hiccups. Standing on the arena floor was a highlight, offering a perspective you just can't get from the general admission areas. Our guide was knowledgeable, but at times, the pace felt a bit rushed, and it was hard to catch everything. That said, the tour provided a comprehensive look at Ancient Rome, and I left feeling enriched by the experience.
