Guidekin's take

Chosen for the timing and the finish: a last entry slot after the heat and the crowds, the arena floor through the gladiator gate, the Palatine and the Forum with a private guide, then an aperitif on a terrace with a view.

Arena ticket, reservation fee and the drink are included at €265 per person. Passports needed at the gate.

In our comparison: #28 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
