Rome for first-timers

Visiting the Colosseum, or "Coliseu" as it's known in Portuguese, is an absolutely breathtaking experience that transports you back to the heart of ancient Rome. Standing within those colossal ruins, you can almost hear the roar of the crowds and imagine the gladiatorial contests that once took place on the arena floor. The sheer scale of Roman engineering is awe-inspiring, and exploring the intricate levels, from the underground hypogeum where animals and gladiators awaited their fate, to the upper tiers offering panoramic views of the entire amphitheater, truly brings history to life. The company that organized this tour did an exceptional job, handling every detail to ensure a smooth and enriching visit and helping to find the correct place. A special mention must go to our tour guide, Simona, whose passion and knowledge truly brought the Colosseum to life. She expertly navigated us through its storied past, pointing out fascinating details and sharing captivating histories that made the ancient stones speak volumes. It's a powerful reminder of the grandeur and complexity of a civilization that shaped so much of the world.

The monument is fabulous, albeit very tricky to climb all the steps, even if you don't have mobility issues! But the view from the top was breathtaking and totally worth it. The ticket was great as it covers everything, including the midfield inside, which was a fantastic collection of military history and worth seeing too if you have the time.

Our experience was very good. We had purchased Skip the Line tickets. We didn’t have any trouble with waiting times at all. It’s definitely worth getting Skip the Line tickets.

Ms. Delavina is an excellent tour guide! She explained in detailed the different regions and wines along the way to Monte Ponciano. The meal at the sister's restaurant was delicious with the exception of the waiters taking our plates away while we were still eating. As a paying customer, I felt disrespected and was not allowed back to enjoy my limoncello. I had never had it but I did a very nice restaurant in Rome, so after all I tasted it! And that's what it counts. Andrea is an excellent driver and attentive to the road signals. We felt very safe with him. Regards, Luz Dunn
