Easy-to-find checkpoint, friendly guide who provided relevant information about the site visited (Palatine, Colosseum). The guide takes care of everything: order of visits, when to validate tickets. You have to keep up 😆

We loved our guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Maria, the guide, was funny and nice. She also made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand in as much as possible since the day of the tour was extremely hot.
