Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

For “Skip the Line Tickets”, we spent more time outside the Colosseum in line ups waiting to get in than we spent inside. We had to be at our designated meeting place at 09:25 for 09:40 entry into Colosseum. We did not get inside until 10:45, long enough to take a few pictures and leave as we had to meet our driver at 11:15 in order to get to the Vatican at our designated time.

Excellent Tour Guide

I had been to Rome several times and never felt enticed to do a tour inside of the Colosseum. During this trip, I thought I would book one and wasn't expecting much. However, this tour surpassed all expectations. Our tour guide was so entertaining and informative. I'm glad I booked this tour and would recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
