“The tour was great but we would have liked to explore on our own. If you are good with just getting in and can do the walk by yourself it would not take so long. The guide provided information about the colosseum we would have never known about on our own. If you want all the history then take the tour.”

“The actual experience is excellent. however I would suggest putting some signs up to where your office is because even though we had an address, no one knew where it was and without Google Maps we would not have found it. Not everyone has this and so with the office being 10 mins away, on a different level to the Colosseu and totally out of sight I can only forsee problems.”

“I am glad I purchased the Plus Option, for a few dollars more. I was able to see the Villa of Mysteries. Well preserved ancient building with frescoes intact. The city must have been impressive with all the frescoes inside and out. -- I was not aware that there is a free shuttle to and from the train station.”
