Honestly, bypassing the chaos. We saved so much time and our tour guide was wonderful. Highly recommend. Bonus: The tickets include entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. So we enjoyed that after taking a break for lunch.

Our guide had an extraordinary amount of detailed knowledge about the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and was able to tell us a lot about life at that time. This and also the top organization of the event made everything a great experience. Robert from Munich

Our Guide was knowledgeable about Colosseum. She made it fun. Because of her, we got hassle free entry to all the sites and location, we skipped all lines and were the first one to enter into the Colosseum. I would recommend tourists to book all 3 site tours individually because the guide doesn't show you everything in Romun Forum in a combined tour. Do this tour if you don't have enough time or if you are with family/kids.

An incredible place because you can see up close the engineering with which this important building of the Roman era was built, this unique experience because being in the basement of the Colosseum with a great guide explains and teaches you where the ramps, elevators, drains and your mind "flies" imagining being in that time. It is very worthwhile
