Serena Rocked It!

Tammy_H, Oct 2023

Serena was just awesome!!! She was so patient as I had a brace on my leg! She was knowledgeable and fun to chat with!

I loved the experience...

Sandy_T, Apr 2023

I loved the experience and the reason for the three stars is because I thought I paid for a more detailed tour, when I bought the tickets it showed pictures of going through the path ways where gladiators went but it was just a regular tour only with a guide explaining the history of the place, the guide was amazing but the description of the tour should be different
