Amazing Sites, A Little Rushed & a Nice Surprise

4.00The sites were absolutely amazing! Our tour guide was very passionate, but I frequently felt rushed and things seemed glossed over. For example, in the Palatine we noticed another tour group opening a tiny metal door and sniffing, exclaiming that it smelled like flowers. We walked right past it. I do understand that the site is so expansive that they have to pick and choose what to present, but it felt like it missed the mark. Also, I felt like our tour guide's passion didn't directly translate into receiving a ton of interesting information. One thing I will say I was very pleased with is that they surprised the group with the opportunity to go onto the Colosseum floor. This was not originally supposed to be part of the tour. It may have been the reason for rushing earlier in the tour. My husband and I were thrilled with this as we were not able to find tickets for this ahead of time.
