Do a tour NOT on your own.

I could not imagine visiting the Colosseum during high season on my own. The whole place could easily become a hot mess. Fortunately our tour guide Dennis was fantastic! He eased us into the Colosseum without delay and his knowledge was incredible. His passion was legitimate and he put so much into making this a wonderful experience for all or use.

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide

This was a really great afternoon. There were only three of us on the tour and Andrea was a really excellent and knowledgeable guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. Having smaller numbers made it easier to ask questions and have the tour tailored to the group.
