Awesome, great experience!. Do yourself a favor and show up exactly at the time they say. I was dumb and showed up 30 minutes early looking all over the place and he showed up right on schedule.

Hassle free booking on the app. Reasonable pricing and fast checkout. Many options that you can choose from

Do not book the VR experience. You sit on a wall outside the colosseum and the whole experience lasts about 15 minutes. We were freezing and it started spitting with rain. It’s nothing more than using your imagination! The audio guide is hard to follow. I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking at 🙄

Not worth it. Vr was pretty terrible, not what we expected or saw as a promotional guide. Don’t waste ur money, just get a regular guide tour or audio alone.

This is a scam. Buy your tickets and download your audioguide at the colosseum. Don’t bother with skip the queue- the entry is timed so you can get in regardless.
