This tour was with Grayline and our guide Nicoletta was fantastic. She was conscientious of never losing anyone in our group of 23 and deftly guided us through the forum and palatine hill with lots of information (and ultimately gave lots of information about the colosseum. The forum and palatine took about 1.5 hours and were done first from 10:30am-12:00pm. It was hot but Nicoletta always looked for shade for us. It was also brilliant to save the colosseum for the end as we're not sure if our kids would have paid attention in the sun and heat during the impressive forum and palatine parts of the tour if they already had seen their main reason for doing this tour. Additionally, we waited SO minimally in any line and Nicoletta had all our tickets and got us through all checkpoints with ease. We highly recommend grayline and you may be lucky enough to get Nicoletta as your guide.
