5.00What a great tour. We had a small group which made the tour more personal. Our tour guide, Manila, was wonderful! She had a passion for what she does and provided lots of information we would have missed on our own. Skip the line is the way to go.
Colosseum is challenging, worth it

5.00The staff of TOURIKS went above and beyond for us, meeting and helping us navigate the largely unaccessible area to reach our tour group. As promised, the Colosseum will be extremely crowded with uneven surfaces. A wheelchair visitor should travel with helpers. Our guide patiently and cheerfully led her group of all ages and strength levels through multiple levels of the arena. Thanks, TOURIKS for making it a successful visit.
Had an amazing tour...
