Guidekin's take

One product with the two access levels that matter: the arena floor in a group capped at twelve, or the underground where the lifts and cages sat, with a night version of the underground too.

Tickets to all three sites and headsets are included at €99 per person. The attic is not part of it.

In our comparison: #44 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
