Great Tour
Very informative tour. The tour guide was certainly knowledgeable about all things pertaining to the Coliseum and Palatine Hill. Lots of walking and standing in particular but lots of picture taking opportunities as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour!

Great Guide! Very organized
Our guide, Xenia, was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The tour itself is a bit too long and sooo much information its overwhelming. All in all I would recommend it to get the full experience. The crowds were very large
