Daniella was very informative and thorough. The tour includes a lot of walking and inclines and steps. Be prepared for that. Experience was was enjoyable.

The experience was...

Corlena_P, Jul 2026

The experience was perfectly run, from pre-tour instructions through to the completion of the tour. We even received a call as the start time loomed, and a pin to find the meet-up. Ou guide Eviss was simply brilliant. She knew the history and the architecture like the back of her hand, and answered on the spot questions with ease. This was my second tour of the Colosseum and I most certainly learned more this time than last. Well done!
