Very good tour guide and experience. I recommend this tour. Very crowded in December close to Christmas.

We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide Marta was really educated and gave us such insightful information on the Colelsuem. We were able to pass long line queues and see things regular tickets don’t access. She knew so much about the history of the gladiators and the shows there, the architecture and what is original and why things have changed over time. Without her we would have simply viewed it as a beautiful structure but with her, everything was so much more interesting and had context. We learned a lot. Highly recommend.
