The bus service was very useful and we used it quite a bit over the two days to orient ourselves and get a feeling for where things were before exploring on foot. The Colosseum was amazing and I really enjoyed Palatine Hill and The Forum. I think it would be slightly cheaper to book the bus and the attractions direct with the companies but I guess you are paying for the convenience and it was handy to be sent lots of information before going on the holiday.

No issues with the colleseum trip, the bus tickets don’t work and the staff on the ground took most of the day to sort it out
