A fun experience - A fun experience. My bad for not telling the instructor my husband already knew how to draw so it could have been more advanced. Instructor was very knowledgeable and helped him see things a bit differently.

Visit the Colosseum through body and mind - A pleasant and fun experience that I had together with my partner. After hours on our feet visiting museums and monuments, we treated ourselves to an original and relaxing experience. It was a different way of visiting a monument, not by listening or reading explanations but through observation and creativity. As Laura explained to us, the Colosseum is experienced personally because its image passes through our mind and body, that is, through our hands. To try!

A journey through time... Through the tip of a pencil ✏️ - Discover, learn about and appreciate the symbolic place of Rome in a new way: the Colosseum. As an archaeologist, I was thrilled to be able to travel through time through drawing! A sensorial experience that I recommend to everyone and especially to those looking for a slow pace of discovery, despite the chaos of the city. An excellent cultural initiative! I had fun 😊

Cute idea and super appreciated!!! - The experience was truly unique and galvanizing, I found out about it through word of mouth and I must say that I made a really good impression with my friends, furthermore the drawing techniques explained by Mrs. Laura are really easy to learn and put into practice even for people like us who are absolutely unfamiliar with the art of drawing. As if that wasn't enough, the very nice and I must say very well-prepared Lady tells you in a simple and concise way the history and particularities of the Colosseum, without seeming heavy and willingly opening up to questions about the monument and a bit of chatter :) As we have already told you in person, congratulations again for the idea!

You don't realize the time passing - A friend of mine told me about this particular experience. I was a bit skeptical about it because I am a tourist guide in Rome and I am used to explain the Coliseum to people. But when I tried this experience I changed my mind because it had nothing in common with the usual guided visits. It is a different manner to look at the Coliseum that is to say not through words or explanations but through your own creativity. In addition, it is a very relaxing experience. You don't realize the time passing. Very good.

Fun and stimulating even alone! - Very nice experience and a nice way to spend some time surrounded by nature doing something different. For me, since I'm not good at drawing, it was a bit difficult at the beginning but the beauty of it is also to test yourself.

excellent experience - excellent experience, immersed in nature with comfortable cushions and drawing material provided by the organizer. unfortunately I particularly suffer from the heat, so having been there on an August afternoon, I wasn't able to enjoy everything to the fullest, but the organization is very precise

interesting experience but a little uncomfortable - The experience was interesting but I would have expected a slightly more comfortable accommodation. The cushion I was sitting on wasn't soft enough
