History at its Finest - This was a great tour, we spent every bit of 4 hrs here. So glad we had a guide who was very knowledgeable of the coliseum. He took his time to explain the areas and even gave us some extra bonus site to view. There was so much other than the Coliseum it self. The outside ground that were apart of it have so much history that are guide was aware and knowledgeable of. It was almost overwhelming with the history. I thought I knew some of the history but it was nothing in comparison to what he taught us. I would highly recommend this tour, by far one of the best ones we did.

Fun and efficient - The tour was very informative without being too long. Our guide Marcus was efficient while still allowing us time to stop for photos and enjoy. We got to learn a lot about history and our guide was able to weave in fun stories to make the tour more interesting.

Great tour. Our guide... - Great tour. Our guide Marcos was very knowledgeable. At times it was hard to hear him thru the headphones as some of the other guides seemed to have the same frequency with their speaker & headset units.

A wee bit disappointed... - A wee bit disappointed with this tour. Although the guide seemed quite knowledgeable, it felt both rushed and extended in Palatine Hill/Roman Forum, so much so that we had to leave tour during colessium visit due to conflicting schedule on my end. Unfortunately communication throughout tour was not as clear as I had wished which hindered my overall experience. Skip the line is definitely worth it though.

Enthusiastic but unclear - Very knowledgeable, but his speaking was unclear, and fast like listening to a bad radio .I suspect he needs to stop having the microphone to close to his throat under his chin.
