The small group size made this tour feel very personalized. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure everyone was engaged. The priority access was a bonus, allowing us to spend more time exploring and less time waiting. A great way to see the Colosseum and Ancient Rome!
A very good tour with a knowledgeable guide and a well-managed group size. The priority access helped us avoid the worst of the crowds, which made the experience more enjoyable. I would have liked a bit more time at Palatine Hill, but overall, it was a well-spent afternoon.
