Lets start by saying it was miserably hot during this adventure. We were going to cancel the tour but the tour director emailed us prior to the date of the trip and moved the colosseum to the morning due to the intense heat. so we decided to continue with the plan.
we had a taxi pick us up at 9:00 for an extra $40 and we were to start the tour at 9:30. Unfortunately they had several problems and we did not get in till 12:45. through a line not skip the line till after we entered stood outside in 100+ heat. We were so exhausted after the only 45 min tour of the colosseum that when we finally made it to the Vatican we had to stop part way through and just get back to the room. Extremely exhausted!!
The director over this gave us a $299 refund but I still do not feel like we got our money’s worth.
My suggestion is to book these tours separately to much to do together.
