This is a great tour to be able to see the Forum and the Colosseum. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. She was able to give so much history of each location. Something to note is that this only includes an entry into the main level of the Colosseum. When the tour was over we had to leave. If you are looking for more access around the Colosseum I would recommend a different tour. This was great though, not a ding against it, just awareness as I think some people in our group wanted to stick around and see more of the Colosseum.

Unfortunately, the tour guide made the experience less enjoyable than expected. Their delivery was very monotone and lacked energy, which made it difficult to stay engaged throughout the tour. The information itself might have been interesting, but the way it was presented didn’t capture our attention. A more dynamic and enthusiastic approach would have made a big difference. It felt more like a lecture than an interactive or immersive experience. With some improvement in presentation and engagement, this tour could be much better.

The lowest level of the arena was not included for entry on this package. It was not so lengthy and a fair bot of history was covered.
