The forum tour is a complete waste. We had gone a few days before and walked it ourselves. During the tour they showed us maybe 1/8th of the forum. We paid $400 for this tour for two!! Then they just drop you off at the coliseum with a ticket and you fend for yourself. The coliseum staff does the underground tour which is amazing, but you can buy that yourself at the coliseum for £38. Completely disappointed and a total rip off for $400!

Tour guide had a sting accent but was still understandable. I just missed a few things. Not sure if it was the radio connection or the accent. She was very knowledgeable as well as patient

Not meant for families with small kids. Agents are not friendly and provided misinformation. They required our 1 year old to pay even though the Colosseum staff did not require it. We were told to meet the group inside the Colloseum without any help other than the tour agent pointing the color of canopy check point. Read the small writing since they require you to be there 30 mins before otherwise nobody will help you. They made us wait knowing that we will lose our tour once we head inside.

What a fascinating underground tour of the Colosseum! Definitely worth the extra price to see underground and to skip the long lines. Plus, the Palatine Hill and Forum were both incredible. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.

We had to pay 125€ each for this tour because It was impossible to reserve it on the official Coliseum website. On the tickets we were given the real price should have been 32€. The tour was very rushed and we saw very little before we had to go into the Coliseum for the underground tour. This seems to be general practice for the Coliseum tickets, but it is frustrating knowing you are paying much more than you should.
