It was good, though I came specifically to see where the assassination took place and that was not possible as the viewing area does not include the maybe a single path down the middle into that area in order to more appreciate the ruins in that area. I had to see those from the street once I left.

You definitely can see this site without buying tickets. It was interesting, but not really worth buying tickets.

Honestly, was a bit underwhelming. The audio guide did not line up with what we were seeing and it was confusing. Not sure it’s worthwhile doing. I was disappointed because I was excited about the tour. A lot of cats in the sanctuary seems pretty sick too so that was sad to see.

Found out that if we bought tickets direct from the attraction we would have saved over £20 and not had the walk or wait at the tour office. We will know for next time.

Eine meiner Lieblingsorte und Führungen in Rom, wenn man an Ausgrabungen interessiert ist und sehen möchte, wo Cäsar erstochen wurde. Den Film fand ich auch sehr interessant. Leider hat der Audioguide bei mir nur am Anfang funktioniert. Wer auf den Film über das antike Rom verzichten kann, sollte auf eigene Faust direkt hingehen.
