Fabulous tour guide very helpful staff

We almost missed the tour because the traffic in Rome was horrendous that day and it took us an hour to do a journey that should have taken 20 minutes Visitors are given very strict time slots However the staff at EcoArt could not have been more helpful communicating with me during the journey and eventually WhatsApping me the tickets so that we could try and get through the barriers in time We made it by the skin or our teeth and were able to join the tour just inside the Colosseum Im so glad we made it as the tour was great Nicoletta is lovely and was very informative and patient We didnt go down to the arena floor but didnt feel the need to as we had perfect views from above I would 100 recommend this tour
