FAQs
How big is the group and what language is the tour in?
Maximum 6 guests, one language (English) with a licensed guide.
Can we skip Palatine Hill or adjust the focus?
Because this is a small shared group, the route is fixed: Colosseum interior with Arena Floor, then Roman Forum highlights and Palatine area overview. If you want a customised pace or content, we recommend our private version.
Are tickets included and do we “skip the line”?
Yes—named, timed-entry tickets are included. Rome sites use timed reservations; there is no ticket queue. Everyone passes the standard security check, so a short wait with others booked for the same time is normal. Each visitor must bring original photo ID; first and last names must match the ticket. Radios are included.
