This is the only way to see the colosseum. Fabio was FULL of information and insight! We traveled in a group of 6 plus the guide and it was a lot of fun and very laid back. Fabio had us stop to take all the pics we wanted and even took some of us. After the colosseum we went to Palatine Hill (the Beverly Hills for the rich Romans) and ended at The Forum (downtown for the Romans). The entire experience was 10/10. I would also book a night time at the colosseum as well. Next time!

This excursion was truly amazing , because of the exceptional tour guide Elisbetta. She spoke excellent English , and was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Colosseum, being an archeologist. Would highly suggest this tour with her. Thanks Elisbetta.
