You can pause, replay, or skip sections whenever you like—perfect if you’re visiting with kids, taking photos, or just want extra time to enjoy the views.
Independent visit with guidance – a host helps you with tickets and entry, then you explore on your own. Engaging audio commentary about gladiators, emperors, engineering, and daily life in Ancient Rome.
