We had a fabulous guide, Loretta, who explained everything so that we could understand. It did require a lot of walking but we were able to use the elevator to reach the second level. Outside the colosseum the ground was very uneven which required you to pay attention to where you were going. Also, although it was crowded, Loretta made sure we all were together.
