Everything was great; it was amazing to experience the Colosseum this way. We didn't have any problems at all, and getting in was super easy. The audio guide was a huge help—I'd give it a 10.

The Colosseum is amazing, of course. I had booked through Toegang Arena, but the reservation was ultimately canceled via WhatsApp. The host on site said the Colosseum had done it, but there were a lot of people walking around in the Arena. On top of that, I received about 10 messages with a location change for the meeting point and a time change. I sent several emails confirming that I understood. I thought it was way too many messages, and in the end, the time hadn’t changed at all, so we ended up arriving way too early… The night before the tour, we were given the option to download an audio guide. It works great! While you’re on the tour, you can choose your own audio track and listen to the history.

Visiting the Colosseum and the Roman Forum was a beautiful experience and something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. The Colosseum is absolutely stunning and even more impressive in person, but what truly left me speechless was the Roman Forum. Walking through its ruins, you can’t stop imagining how people lived, worked, and gathered there thousands of years ago. It feels like stepping directly into history. An unforgettable experience.

Audio guide needs to be better at guiding a route. Kept playing random guides after the one we were at had finished.
