It was a long day but we went on a weekend when we had to do it all in a day. my advice is wear trainers not thin unsupported shoes. The guides were very informative and pitched it at the right level. There was enough time between the two tours to have a sit down lunch in the cool. recommend.

Ho visitato con una guida sia il Colosseo che i Musei Vaticani nella stessa giornata. Organizzazione davvero al top da aperte dell'agenzia, consiglio vivamente di affidarsi a questo pacchetto. Consiglio solo di leggere bene il voucher prima della visita e controllare bene i punti d'incontro sia per l'ufficio vicino al Colosseo che per quello vicino ai Musei

Ich habe das Kolosseum mit einem englischsprachigen Reiseleiter besucht. Alles war perfekt, die Reiseleitung ist sehr gut und ich hatte keine Probleme. Was für eine wunderbare Erfahrung!
