Our guide was excellent. He was a retired history teacher and a wealth of knowledge. We had a wonderful dialogue and saw everything we hoped to see.

Our underground tour was cancelled at the last minute. This was the only reason we booked as we had toured the rest of the Colosseum before. We were told there wouldn’t be any underground tours that day, but we could see them happening.
