I just could not... - I just could not understand the guide. The guide was late. It was too crowded and many times I lost connection. Very nice guide but too hard to understand.

More of a disappointment; not recommended. - Already in advance we had chaos, as a new mail kept coming in with changes to the program, the time, the meeting place, ... which were then repeatedly withdrawn, so that in the end we hardly knew when to be where and which tour would ultimately be carried out.
A couple from America told us that they too had booked the tour with the catacombs, but were not informed that the catacombs had been removed from the tour. So they assumed that the catacombs would be visited.
We also couldn't understand why we couldn't go to the catacombs, where other groups were being led through the catacombs at the same time.
The leadership itself was then "OK", even if we had the impression that a deviation from the prepared text was not so much desired. You also barely had time to see in peace, let alone take photos.
In the end, instead of showing more at the Colosseum, a quarter-hour talk about gladiators was given (to fill the time?)
All in all unfortunately a disappointment for us, for the second most important part of our visit to Rome.
