The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the centre of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.

Incredible Wonder of the World

Easy visit with the advance ticket

Tour operator send the tickets and audio file to the email before the visit day. The e-ticket was easy to use and instruction was clear. Colosseum is beautiful and the area of forum and hill quite big. Bring water and umbrella in these hot days.

Overly expensive, no real audio guide, buy tickets directly

This was simply a tour company that charged us for tickets. They charged us for children that would’ve had entry for free.! They said it comes with an audio guide where the audio guide was an MP3 file sent over ‎WhatsApp that barely downloaded! There was barely information about the Roman forum. You’re better off buying directly from the Colosseum and saving time, money and frustration.

Operator response

Dear honorable client, We gave you four (4) children's tickets entirely free of charge. No fees were assessed for these children tickets. You can check your booking voucher for details. You requested an additional child ticket at the last minute. Unfortunately, due to strict last moment unavailability, we were unable to accommodate this additional request. All official rates and fees are explicitly detailed in the product description under the "What is included" section. Nothing was hide. Thank you
