Our tickets were scheduled for 10:30, but we arrived at 9:50. Due to the very crowded situation at the tour agency, the ticket handover and formalities were only finished around 10:05. As a result, we missed the media film and, by the time we got there, there were no seats available. The escort service itself was fine – the guide (a lady) gathered us together and led the group to the entrance of the Roman Forum. From that point, we were free to explore on our own. Our Colosseum entry time was set for 13:15, so we went there independently later. Overall, the experience was okay, but everything was extremely crowded and busy everywhere.

There was no waiting time and no stress at the pick-up point. There was also no queue for access to the Foro Romanum and Colosseum, everything was very well organized.

    They give us a map and then you figure it out! And when I booked, they didn't tell me that with a 2pm entrance, I couldn't get to the Coliseum before 5pm - too much time to wait on site!

    Nice cohesion between the different parts. Would have liked more time doing the coliseum first and then roman forum and palatine!

  • Discover the myriad of structures at the Roman Forum, including the Colosseum. Gain entry through a special group's entrance to the Colosseum and begin your experience. After this, you get to roam on your own for about an hour. Explore the vast magnitude of ancient Rome’s most iconic landmark. Feel the majestic ambiance as you stroll through and try to imagine the structure once filled with nearly 80,000 bloodthirsty spectators. You will also get access to the second floor from where you can trace the Colosseum’s circumference to get an idea of how big the venue really is. Learn more about the legacy of Ancient Rome with a multimedia video presentation that is sure to keep you entertained.

    Finally, make your way to the Palatine Hill and bypass the long ticketing line. Enjoy one of the city’s best vantage points and discover the hill where Rome was originally founded. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on as an extensive archaeological site. Explore ruins of the Flavian Palace and Stadium of Domitian, as well as the legendary Hut of Romulus. Next, explore the enormous complex and teleport through time at the Roman Forum
