The colosseum--Rick Steves audio tour vs purchased audio tour vs your guide

Is the RS audio tour sufficient or should we opt for the tour guide companies?

It is personal preference. While the RS audio guides are good, a live tour guide is always better, IMO. The big reason - you can ask questions and get answers.

i just did the RS audio tour last week and found it engaging but a bit light. i didn't learn too much. you can listen to a couple of minutes of it before you decide.

There is very good signage at the colosseum so that combined with an audio guide is usually enough information. I haven't listened to the RS audio guides. The official ones at the colosseum are very good.
