In the beginning of the tour I felt down & had few scratches, but afterwards I noticed problems with breathing. I probably broke some ribs. I was helped by nice American to go on and when I was too painful I had to stop and leave the groep. An American left the groep helping me to reach police and ask for help. It’s such a pity the guide went on with the rest and not even waited for a man. I hope hé reached the rest on time before they entered the Colosseum. That was a min point of a Colosseum tour, but the rest was o.k.
Great time!

I appreciated the headphones to hear the tour guide. The colosseum is so full of history and it was fascinating to hear about it. Not a long wait to go inside but there was just so many people, understandable though.
Valuable, Historical Tour

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as our guide really tried hard to make sure we had the best areas to take photos and did her best to have us appreciate the sights historically as she did. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared her knowledge interestingly. Would highly recommend.
