She also used a book with pictures as she explained all the areas of the Colosseum which made the experience more understandable. I highly recommend this outstanding guide who was a former teacher which explains why her presentation was excellent.

Difficult to understand guide - We were really looking forward to this tour, but unfortunately it was very difficult to understand our guide. She was well intentioned but we only understood a fraction of what was said due to her accent. She also talked the entire 2.5 hours instead of stopping at specific places to share more impactful information that you could focus on. Several of us have been on tours before and got much more out of the experience due to having guides who were great storytellers. Honestly, I think we would have been better off doing a podcast guide.
