Great guide, Luca, full of facts and enthusiasm
Our guide Luca was great, he brought the colosseum to life for the kids and answered all their questions with enthusiasm. We’d highly recommend this tour, it was really well organised and calm despite how busy Rome is. We loved the fact that the colosseum has cat flaps!
