2.Full-Day: Colosseum, Vatican Museums & St Peter’s Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,142 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $217

Spend about eight hours touring Rome’s ancient center and Vatican City with English-speaking guides such as Silvia, Maria, Fabio, or Oscar. Skip long entry lines, hear clearly through headsets, and see the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica, with 2 to 4 hours between tours for lunch and transport.

“Guides were very knowledgeable and provided lots of history, however, the headset system was very poor quality which made it hard to understand at times.This is a walking tour which required much walking up/down stairs and over cobblestone and uneven pavement. We were surprised that we had to find our own transportation from the coliseum to the Vatican, even though this is advertised as a combo tour.”

However, the 3 basilicas tour in the afternoon was a bust. You are better off going to those on your own. The guides different crew fro, the morning were minimally informed and the bus slowly crept through Roman traffic. The metro is much quicker.”
