    Both tours were great. Both tour guides were great. The only thing that was not great was the fact that there were two different tours with two different groups with a driver in between who was like "I'm just a driver - I have no information" - which we did not understand when we booked. This would have been fine if it had been explained to us in advance.

    Colosseum: - Tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, personable (sorry forgot his name, Sam?) - Seeing the colosseum from inside is incredible & tour guide gave great historical background - FYI does NOT include arena floor access Vatican/Sistine Chapel: - Tour guide (Margarita) is very knowledgable and passionate - It was a very huge group, so difficult to manage and move together, but luckily the Vatican/Sistine Chapel was overall not very crowded that day - Not the highlight of my trip, personally it was underwhelming, but still amazing to see and experience all of the history Overall: - Front of the line passes definitely worth while, especially since lines are longer for COVID vaccination/green pass requirements - FYI does NOT include transport from Colosseum to Vatican; so plan accordingly for lunch/transportation (it was about a 45 min walk for us)--I think the Colosseum tour started at 11, ended around 1, and we had to check in for the Vatican tour by 3 - If you are younger or more of a solo/couple traveler, would recommend doing self-guided Roma passes (which can also include skip-the-line passes and some include transportation); these group tours are more for a 'mature' crowd who need more guidance so you spend more time waiting for people rather than going at your own pace - I probably would have done without it if I could do it again, but the tours did a great job organizing & still helpful to just click/book and not have to think about anything

    The package has 2 parts - first is with Colosseum and we upgraded to visit Palentine Hill. Tour company is "Tour in the City" with Maximo as our guide, whom we really enjoyed ourselves. He's so humorous and pace the tour nicely. Seond part is the visit to Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, tour company is "Explore Italy Tours" and the tour guide is bad. Felt a dread following the tour guide to be honest, couldnt appreciate his jokes and he chased away the other tourists abruptly if he needs to use the space. After tour ends, he rushed off quickly.
