Imperial Fora: Tours & Tickets

Although not a guided tour, the guide (Antonia, I think) who took us across to the colosseum told us about its history and pointed out lots of interesting things before she took us over to security. Once we’d spent time on the arena floor we were free to look round the colosseum on our own but she arranged for us to meet her to be taken into the Forum again skipping the queue. She told us lots about the forum too and was able to answer any questions we had. The best of both worlds as we like to explore places at our own pace but good to have some info from a real person, as well as having our questions answered. Group size was good too, about 15, some groups we saw were huge.

Skip the Line is a must do for any colloseum visit, we hardly waited five minutes before we were in the door. Our guide was knowledgeable, and stopped at intervals to give us great nuggets of information. Although not officially a guided tour, it was great to receive such insight to then apply when using your own time to look around. Meeting point was clear and easy, with all details needed provided before the booking.

We really enjoyed...the guide was helpful and I formative. Good mix of being guided and free time at the Forum and Paletine Hill. Only slight critisicm...it was a rush in half hour to see top level of Collesium as well as visit the gift shop and meet the guide outside. Definitely needed longer.

Starting from the email instructions on where to meet the guide right to the end of leading us into the Roman Forum, the tour was clear, punctual and structured enough, leaving enough time for us to wander around our shelves in between. The guide was super, too!

Friendly guide got us into the Colosseum via the Gladiators’ entrance and then left us to explore for an hour before getting us into the Forum and Palatine Hill. Perfect for anyone wanting quick access and a little information, but not the guided tour.
