    At the time I booked I conveniently went in skipping the line, I easily found my way there. I recommend booking a guided tour, I did the one with an audio guide and it wasn't bad but with a guide would have been the best

    A member of staff sent me straight up. However, this meant I could no longer see the whole of the second level and could no longer get to the cross. When I asked, I was told I couldn't go back.

    We were able to avoid the queues, which is a real plus. Access to the Colisee is smooth, you pass the controls and off you go.
