    Jag vet inte vad som hände men efter att vi stannade för att använda toaletten var gruppen borta. Vi letade efter gruppen men hörde ingenting så vi gick igenom Colosseum själva, Det tyckte jag var väldigt dåligt gjort av den guiden. Vi såg allt vi ville, så vi är lyckliga.

    Wij vonden de tour in Colosseum erg interessant en informatief. Forum sprak ons eigenlijk niet zo veel aan. Zonder gids zou ik er niet heen gaan want dan is het erg chaotisch en weet je niet echt waar je naar kijkt.
