5.00It was my second time in Rome and my family and I were very happy with this tour. At first I was skeptical, it seemed strange that I could buy the ticket even if online they were finished. Instead at the end of the walking tour the guide explained how to easily buy tickets for the Colosseum At the official ticket office
Ottimo top

5.00Without Marco we wouldn't have entered the Colosseum I recommend this experience especially to those who were not able to book the Colosseum online. Marco took us on a very interesting outdoor tour and at the end gave us all the information we needed to try to buy tickets on site. It was truly valuable for us.
I love Rome

5.00I did a tour with Marco and he was excellent. I can only recommend him, partly because he speaks English so well; even my son could understand him and was immediately enthusiastic about the story.
Perfect visit
