Time with Ionut was well spent! We learned so much about the history of the coliseum that I feel well versed. He kept things interesting, but light, so you didn’t feel like it was information overload. The ticket also got us into Palantine, and he gave us great tips on where else to go, plus how to enter so we wouldn’t have to wait in line. 10/10!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much! We're so glad Ionut was such a great guide! It's fantastic to know he made the history of the Colosseum accessible and interesting. His tips on how to visit other places without long waits were very helpful! We hope to see you again in Rome soon!
