Guidekin's take

A small group capped at fifteen through all three sites with a licensed guide and headphones, picked as a fair price for that group size.

Entry, booking fee and guide are included at €59 per person, children's tickets are free. Arrive early for the timed slot, and skip it if you have heart trouble.

In our comparison: #60 of 132 in Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
