[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We booked special access guides for both primarily to avoid the crowds. I rarely like guides, but for those two venues, being able to enter an hour ahead of the normal opening time (Sistine chapel) & explore the lowest level (coliseum) were well worth the price.  If I had not been traveling with a child, I might have been a little more willing to suffer the crowds, which are crazy.  But the sites are well worth it.[/quote]
What company did you use?[/quote]

Viator - they subcontracted the coliseum tour to Dark Tours - they did an amazing job & it didn't feel rushed..  For the early access to Sistene chapel, I'm not sure who the final contractor was, but going 1h early meant no crowds, just your group of about 30 people.The guide took the time to point out stuff that my son was interested in. Note that Viator had several options for early access, including one with a breakfast. We did the simplest one with just access to the Sistene chapel, which still wasn't cheap. This was at Easter, so we knew it would be really packed. So happy to have done this.[/quote]
