Guidekin's take

A private guide through all three sites with the arena or the underground added on request after booking, which keeps the base price honest for people who only want the standard levels.

Entry ticket and reservation fee are included at €250 per person, transport and food are not. Listed as wheelchair accessible, moderate fitness still helps.

In our comparison: #53 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
