Tonia was very knowledgeable and shared good information throughout our tour. Her English was very good, but unfortunately it was still difficult to understand her and we missed things for that reason. That was the only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. Ideally it would have been nice to balance the time in each place a little differently to allow more time in the Colisseum. I would like to have had more time there, although the info about the Forum was quite interesting.

Be aware of the need for printed or pictures of your psssport photo page or drivers license. I couldn’t believe we didn’t know this in entering security . Why we weren’t given this info!!! We almost weren’t let in after spending $$$ on tickets!!
