To get into the Colosseum faster, this is the way to go. However, be aware this doesn't completely "skip-the-line", it doesn't take you past all the people waiting to the an immediate entry. It does move you much further than waiting in the regular line. I'd say it took us close to an hour to get in, as opposed to probably 3 hours.

Really liked our guide. She had good knowledge and actually challenged the group with questions. She clearly knows a lot but due to having to guide us through the crowd she only speaks at spots so we only hear a fraction of what she could relate to us.

We enjoyed seeing the Coleseum and our guides were very informative and kind! However, since we waited for people who were late in our group who never showed up and since there wasn’t an anticipation of the attractions being busier than usual around the holidays and we had very limited time at the palatine hill/Roman forum - we almost didn’t get in. It would be best to book an earlier morning tour! Ours was at 1300
