Good overview, but a little rushed

Good overview of the Hill & Colosseum, was great to skip all lines and the guide was knowledgeable, but the experience felt rushed. This tour should probably realistically be 3 hrs, not 2.5.

History comes Alive! Excellent guide

Excellent historian guiding you through history and the archeological sites! Arianna was great! Very well organized and gives you the ability to ask questions and calmly see the forum and palatine hill and even the lower level of the coliseum.

Stunning and unimaginable!

Guided tour is imperative otherwise it is difficult to appreciate the immensity of the architecture that was once on its premises. We had a superb French Guide Fransesca. Thank you a thousand times to her for all the information.
