Great to get shorter lines and some interesting history
This allowed us easy entry into the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Our tour guide talked to us a while while about Roman history while we just had to stand there in the heat. Not my favorite part, might have been nice if she could have walked and talked while we looked at things. Overall a very cool experience though. Incredible sites to see!
