What a way to see the Colosseum!!! We learned so much and went to every nook and cranny of the amphitheater. Our guide, Azurra, was so so so knowledgeable. She also gets you around the big groups without delay. Then, she took us all through the Pallantine Hill and Forum. This was the best tour we took in Rome. Also, the driver was right on time, and drove very safe in a beautiful car.

Viator was excellent ensuring our experience was as expected. From early communication regarding pickup and dropoff as well as timing changes. Our guide Azzurra was fantastic, answered as many questions as we asked, we learned so much from her. I would recommend this experience to a friend or a stranger, it was that good.
