      It was really amazing!! Our tour guide seemed very passionate and knowledgeable about the information. Keep in mind it gets hottt and there’s lots of walking. Walking for basically 3 hours straight, no where to really sit and not much shade. They’re are water fountains throughout to bring a water bottle to fill up. Also a bit tough with the baby stroller. We managed and it is doable, but lots of steps and rough terrain.

      JC was a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and catered to the groups needs. It was a very hot day when we visited so he found shaded areas for us all to stop and catch our breaths. What an amazing guide and experience. Something we will never forget. Thank you so much JC for making our tour so interesting and enjoyable.

      I'd been to the Colosseum once before, but this experience blew that one away. Our tour guide, Jan, was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable and considerate, as it was a blazing hot day and he took care to make sure we were in the shade as often as possible. Highly recommend this activity.
