Colosseum Tour

Amazing tour of the Coliseum, Palantine Hill, and Roman Forum. Andy kept it fun and interesting the whole time!

Laura Sensei was a great guide!

Unbelievably beautiful. Laura Sensei was informative and enjoyable as a guide, and the early tour time was perfect for seeing everything early. This was for the Vatican museums, Rafael’s rooms, St. Peter’s and the Sistine chapel because it wouldn’t let me press that option.
