It was fantastic. The only thing I would change is the colosseum part was very rushed especially when we got to the actual inside. We were basically running around the inside of the colosseum. He got so far ahead of us we got static on the earpiece. I would have liked to hear the rest of his info. He was very informative.

Phenomenal tour by Carolina. She was a great guide and very knowledgeable, shared much history and made time to stop for water, bathroom breaks and to get pictures of scenic areas. Great views and very little wait to get inside. Ticket site offers purchases of drinks and is a short walk from the attraction. Thanks for making our trip to Rome memorable!
