Guidekin's take

A private guide who starts with the Forum and the Palatine, visual aids in hand, then gives the Colosseum proper time on the first tier and the arena floor.

Arena ticket, reservation fee and both site admissions are included at €250 per person. You can name your preferred start time, and the operator fits it to ticket availability.

In our comparison: #41 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
