Reviews

Skipping the lines was such a relief, and going deeper into the ruins with someone who loves the subject made it way more fun than wandering around by ourselves. We still joke about the gladiator stories and the weird Roman traditions! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to really understand this place, not just see it.
