Everything was really very organized. Definitely to be repeated, perhaps next time with a guided tour.

Excellent experience with Maghy
We had such a great experience visiting the Colosseum with Magui! She made the history really interesting and easy to follow, and the way she explained everything helped us appreciate the Colosseum and its history so much more. She was also incredibly kind and attentive throughout the tour, always checking that we were comfortable and doing well. We really enjoyed the whole experience and feel very lucky to have had Magui as our guide. Thank you for making our visit so special! Highly recommended 😊
