Skip long lines with reserved entry to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, plus optional arena floor access.

“(Our tour was upgraded to include the arena floor) Despite the intermittent rain the tour was very good. The meeting point was a few hundred metres from the Coliseum and 15 to 20 minutes (downhill) walk from Rome Termini station or 5 minutes from the Coliseum metro station. If the weather is poor I suggest you wear waterproof shoes or something with good grip as the basalt road can be wet or puddled. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable but the sound quality on the headsets was a little muffled. The information given was good and the tour of the Forum and Palatine Hill took around 1.5 hours before…”

“My friend and I each booked this tour at the same time but it turns out these were actually two separate groups. In addition, my friend was put on an "upgraded" tour and was able to see below ground at the Colosseum. When I asked why I wasn't offered this they told me it was because he booked his tour first which is factually incorrect; I booked several says before he did. I didn't get a good answer as to why he got the upgraded experience and I didn't (let alone why we were being separated) but the person we were working with was incredibly rude and assumed I didn't…”
