Great tour

Eleanor_T, Oct 2026

The tour was great. It was just me and another couple so almost private. I just signed up for the exterior tour since it was only 1 hour and all the other colosseum tours were more like 3 hours. The guide gave all the info I needed during the tour about the building and history. He was very passionate. He seemed genuinely excited about questions and was extremely knowledgeable.
