Some new facts about Colosseum but not interactive and not very focused on audience, especially for kids

Finding the agency was easy, as well as the entry to the coliseum. One negative part is that our guide spoke in three different languages (English, Italian and French) during the tour, which was sometimes confusing and difficult to understand him. If the tour is advertised as a English guided tour, then the guide should stick to it. The biggest negative part was the audio devices. The quality is not so good. All you could hear was like a white/interfering noise if you were not close to guide. But in other aspects, the tour was great. The explanations were good and concise. The duration is also adequate. Definitively a good option if you’re looking to get into the coliseum.
