Guided visit to the Coliseum - It's worth it. It would be better to make the visit to the Roman Forum with a guide as well. We have a better exploitation.

Tour felt rushed... - Tour felt rushed Meeting point given, was accurate and easy to find. However, in an extremely crowded area with not enough signage. Tour began a little later than scheduled and was very rushed. The ticket included entry to 2 other "venues". We expected we would be directed there, however, we were just told that we had 24 hours to use our tickets to do it on our own

A disappointment - Do not book a late afternoon tour. There’s not enough time. The people in charge were disorganized and haphazard. A disappointment.
