5.00Great experience, our tour guide Fabrizio was well versed of Roman history and speaks English very well. The time around the Palatine Hill was vert nice but no skipping the line though so prepare to wait on your feet and under the heat if the sun , we brought a small umbrella and a fan so our wait wasn’t that miserable and the line loved fast . The Roman Forum is also great but what’s left are just ruins and pillars . The majestic sight was the Colosseum. We had access to the Arena which I love better than the underground per my opinion . It’s a great feeling to be in the middle of the Arena where the gladiators used to fight off wild animals and other gladiators . And the view was awesome . Overall the experience was a gery memorable one . And our guide helped us made the tour very memorable . Thanks Fabrizio!
