The training was super fun! First you get shown some things in the museum, which is really cute and well equipped with all the gladiator stuff. The Training is a really good workout and something different from all the usual Rome-things. We really recommend doing it, even though 120 euros is quite expensive.

We spent 2 weeks in italy, and completed several activities/trips, but this was the best one. We all had such a good time, Holipus spent time with our husbands, while we only watched, however he included us as much as he could. We a had so much fun, and learnt a lot about Gladiators. A fantastic time and would highly recommend.
