I really enjoyed the guide! She was very knowledgeable and very kind! Worth every penny on my opinion! My audio pack worked great and they do provide new earbuds but you can also plug your own in which I should have done, no problem though! I do recommend going on this tour because you get access to the coliseum floor which I saw those not part of a tour group get turned away from so it is part of the experience of getting a guide. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and am a seasoned traveler.

Booked for the Arena tour, we showed up the meeting point. The staff was very nice, they gave us headsets on spot. A few min after 3.00 pm we left, the guide (i think it was Eddy) was very knowledgeable and made it very interesting. We highly recommend this experience!!

Compramos o tour que incluiria os subterrâneos do Coliseu, mas ao chegar lá a guia nos informou que a parte subterrânea não estava incluída. Entrei em contato com a empresa turística e ela me mandou reclamar com o TripAdvisor…
