Wow wow wow. Amazing trip to the coluseum today. Entry was easy and smooth. Plenty of guys selling very cold water outside for a fair price. You won't be disappointed the coluseum is fantastic. All was going round my head was quite from the film gladiator. My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."...Olena

Visiting the Colosseum is an absolute must-do in Rome because it’s not just a monument, it’s a journey back in time. Standing inside, you can truly imagine the scale of the Roman Empire and the incredible engineering of nearly 2,000 years ago. The Colosseum is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, and walking through its arches makes history come alive in a way that no book or documentary ever could. It’s also beautifully located in the heart of Rome, surrounded by the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, so in one visit you experience the very essence of Ancient Rome.

Everything was as described. We arrived at the entrance a few minutes before the booked time, which was no problem. We went through security quickly and were able to enjoy the Colosseum.

I think the history of the Roman Forum was the best and to see where, according to history, this part of Julius Caesar and where tribute is paid to him... it was excitingAntonio

Everything indicated is correct. The only aspect to improve is the audio guide should be adjusted to the circuit indicated by the Coliseum. Otherwise everything perfect. Highly recommended and works perfectly.
