History books could never capture the magnitude.

Apon arrival, a young lady asked if we would like to avoid the queue and join a guided tour (the cost was almost double the regular entrance fee). We paid her and after a short wait, were led into the colosseum. The tour lasted about an hour and was well worth the cost (it also included a guide for the Roman Forum). We were fortunate to have a very knowledgeable guide who encouraged us to ask questions. If you don't enjoy history, stay home and out of the heat. I will cherish this memory until the day I konk over.
