The tour guide, Ivana, was excellent. She was knowledgeable, engaging, charming, and experienced. Well worth the money to better appreciate the Roman ruins and the colosseum. We went through the ruins first for about an hour and a half. Lots of photo opportunities of interesting things and views. Ivana brought to life the colosseum with historical information and stories. Bring a water bottle on the tour and you'll be able to refill it at numerous stops along the way.
