Two of us booked a semi private Colosseum and Palatine Hill tour on a Monday morning in late April We were grateful to have Elena as our guide Her knowledge and stories brought these rich historical sites to life in a fun and engaging way We toured the first second and arena floors of the Colosseum as well as the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill With 7 total in the group we could interact and ask all of our questions Elena had a great sense of humor and her passion for the history was infectious

Colosseum

I appreciated that the contact person waited for us until the very last minute to hand over the tickets and clearly explained what we needed to do I dont recall being informed or warned that my tickets did not include entry to the Colosseum arena floor or the museum on the Palatine Hill
