Was a great way to see and learn about Ancient Rome. The headset had some status at times and when at the coliseum it seemed to pick up other tour guides creating some background noise.
Also we were running a few minutes late and were communicating with the tour guide. We made it just in time but they won’t wait more than 5 minutes.

We sincerely apologize for the occasional headset interference and background noise at the Colosseum. Due to the number of tours operating simultaneously, this can sometimes happen, but we are continuously working to improve our equipment and audio quality to ensure a smoother experience.
Thank you as well for communicating with the guide while running late. To keep the experience fair and on schedule for all guests, we do maintain a strict 5-minute waiting policy, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We're glad you were able to make it just in time!
