The decision in a minute

Who is this Colosseum tour for?

Why consider it

A fit for families wanting the activities focused on their own school-age children rather than shared with the afternoon group.

A good fit for: School-age families wanting private games and history

Know the tradeoff

It is non-refundable, and “Private Tour” does not repeat the 3 pm departure stated for the shared sibling.

Reconsider if: You need an explicitly fixed 3 pm start

What distinguishes this option: “Private Tour” reserves the guide for your family; “Small Group Tour - 3:00 pm” is the shared 3 pm version with up to fifteen participants.
