    Travelled with a group of friends


    Claudia was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The Colosseum defied expectations. It was definitely worth paying for Claudia because she told us so much about the Colosseum and Roman Forums that we wouldn't have known had we gone alone. So much of what you think you know about what happened in the Colosseum isn't correct. A very worthwhile tour.
