Highly recommend joining a guided tour in Colosseum Not only does it save you time from waiting in long lines but the guide also takes you to the best photo spots

Highly recommend joining a guided tour in Colosseum Not only does it save you time from waiting in long lines but the guide also takes you to the best photo spots We were lucky to have Maria Luisa as our guideshe was incredibly patient and attentive She often checked in to see if we had any questions and her explanations paired with visual comparisons really helped us imagine what everything looked like in the past It was absolutely worth the money The experience made us want to come back again to relive the history of Rome It was truly an unforgettable and impressive experience

Fast but informative

Paulina was a really good guide on this tour especially considering how pressed for time we were With the Sistine Chapel closing relatively quickly after the tour started not to mention loads of other groups to contend with she had to move us along pretty quickly Despite that she shared an immense amount of information about the different exhibits getting us a fair amount of time in specific rooms If youre thinking about booking this tour try to get the earliest slot you can This will ensure you have enough time to backtrack if you want or to linger in the chapel

Perfect about of time with a knowledgeable guide

Thank goodness I booked this tour I did the 915 AM tour and by then all the lines to get into the Vatican and through the different check points was crazy Oscar our English speaking tour guide manouvered it well Oscar was very knowledgeable and easy to understand He hit all the highlights and taught our group numerous new facts After the main tour Oscar even fast tracked us into the basilica which I did for about 30 minutes on my own It was the perfect amount of time I feel this small tour provided an excellent overview When I left Vatican City I was exhausted and ready for lunch
