Legends of my favorite gladiators - I really liked the story of gladiators: Spartacus, the legendary leader of the slave rebellion in ancient Rome, became a symbol of resistance against oppression.
Spiculus was a famous gladiator who gained great renown in the Roman Colosseum during the reign of Emperor Nero. He was noted for his skill and bravery in the arena, winning numerous battles and the favor of the public.
On the other hand, they spoke of carpophobe, which refers to those gladiators who avoided facing other combatants of equal skill or prestige, preferring easier confrontations to ensure their survival and avoid serious injuries.

Colosseum and gladiator legends - The biggest bloody spectacle in history.
The atrocities of the coliseum.
Myths and legends of the coliseum History of gladiators.
Tribute to Emperor Flavius Constantine
These were the titles that I loved the most and highlighted most of the thoughts that Spartacus wanted to make known.
The symbol of the coliseum, its meaning and the Roman empire were more than an adventure that, thanks to Soundwalkrs, I could experience and would live again and again.

Review - I really loved being able to use the application, it is quite easy to learn how to use it, although it was my first time I didn't have many problems, I also found the great variety of places very interesting and the way they tell the stories using music to give the atmosphere is exceptional, In summary it was a very good experience :3

No entrance to the Vatican - We arrived at the steps at 13.15, having the day before checked their location. There was no one there to greet us.
Apparently, we should have met on a different set of steps. The tour guide had called me but when I answered their call he/she said nothing. Yes, they had sent me a WhatsApp message but this hadn't arrived to me in time, and difficult to get notifications of messages within the noise of the Vatican area. So, we had no trip inside the Vatican.

I prefer real stories and... - I prefer real stories and facts about the colosseum and not a story about gladiators only. This does not cover the historical value of the building at all.

Ripoff - Worse than terrible. We were scrambling for tickets and saw "self-guided audio TOUR" for $10.00, so we scooped them up. We arrived the next day to discover that the "tour" we paid for did not include entrance to the tour location(which was not available for several days--after our trip was over). We, as tourists, have enough to contend with, being in a foreign country and dodging all the beggars and grifters in the public areas around these attractions. Now we have to deal with the same from a so-called "reputable" online company?
