I hadn't been inside the Colosseum in many years and this tour was the right one to do! <br />Seeing the place from the arena floor was very emotional and Kylie, our guide, was excellent in bringing us back to the time of the ancient Romans, but we also spoke about the "fake news" and false myths! <br />The lenght of the tour is also perfect and it allows to see the Forum, with the guide but then, at the end of the tour, you can decide to spend more time in there<br />Highly reccomended!

FAQs

Is there anything I should bring/wear on my tour?
Because there is a lot of walking on this tour, we highly recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes. There is very little shade at the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill in particular, so we would recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen in summer and a rain-jacket or umbrella in winter. As there are water fountains with (delicious) drinking water dotted throughout the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill, we would highly recommend bringing a bottle that you can refill.

Yes! All guests (including children) must bring a government-issued ID/passport on the day of their tour. Failure to bring an ID can result in the security staff refusing your entrance to the monument.
