Nice hour - Simple and easy to redeem! Self guided tour was nice so we could move around at our own pace. I would recommend for anyone who has an hour to kill around the Piazza Navona.

Amazing - Everything was explained by the audioguide (they even have one for children) so you can do it at your own pace. As for accessiblity, it is very good. They have thought of people having difficulties descending and ascending stairs.

Interesting underground site - Interesting self-guided tour of a little-known historic site in Rome. We’ll worth visiting. Informative especially the video at the end that visually depicts how this underground stadium was constructed and how it serves as the foundation for current structures.

Underwhelming but best audio guide I have followed - I was not sure what to expect, overall I was underwhelmed as there is not much of the original stadium left, I can say the audio guide was top notch with out that I would have walked through in about 8 minutes

Some rude - Very bad service. The rude waiter with glasses served us with contempt for ordering some Coca-Colas. Only one has treated us politely
