It was worth the time and I didnt have to wait in line because our tour guide had taken care of everything. Unforgetable trip

Wow, I will have to say that it was an awesome feeling to be standing in the very famous historical Colosseum. My husband went camera crazy. I will say that our tour wasn't that great and they cut off taking us upstairs. In total, the tour took 20 minutes. They did continue the tour across the street at the palace gardens. In all though, ...

We had a guide telling us of the history other wise it would have been like many other ruins in the world.

The colliseum was great. The gladiators took pictures with us for free b.c we used our camera.They actually posed for 4 pictures with us. The horse and carriage people will try to rip you off, but you can avoid them.The sights were great.It was fun to walk around on our own without keeping up with a group and watching the clock.I would love to go back.

I went to Rome with my friends and lasted two weeks. We had lots of fun because we never stoped visiting the sites, we were always on the go. The most beautiful place to us was the Vatican. There were other interesting places that we enjoyed like the Castle San Angelo and lots of other amazing places that we visited.

Then they demanded 10 Euros for it! There will be tour guides who ask you to join their tour to avoid a wait in the regular line, then come ...

To the writer who exclaims, "...who wants to see an old, decomposing colosseum?" Why don't you stay in the comfort of your pre-fab, circa 1998 home so you can totally ignore a little thing called history and culture. Just don't forget to thank the Romans for your indoor plumbing, innovations with urban planning and Roman numerals ...

We went on the sunday morning 20/4/08 and the queues were huge, although much to our delight they went down very fast and in all I think we queued for max 30 minutes. It is well worth a visit for the €11 it is we spent at least a couple of hours there and it was coupled with the manifestation parade which only heightened the enjoyment more. ...

when we were approaching the collesseum we were gob smacked. the sheer size alone is breath taking. guided tour was fantastic. it would be foolish to go in on your own. did u know the camp nou(where barcelona play there soccer) is designed on the collesseum.
