4.00Not easy to find crown tours . We got off the green line bus thinking it wouldn’t be too far away however after google maps taking us the wrong way and after asking about 6 locals we finally found it a above the colleseum train station and up the hill . Our guide Mary was very good and very nice and informative, however the audio wasn’t fantastic . But we tried to head to the front to be by her so we could hear better
