What a small-group tour includes
A small-group tour is a guided visit to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, shared with other travellers. The cap on the group is the selling point. A guide can be heard from the back of a small group, which is not always true in a large one.
Small has no fixed meaning. Each listing states its own cap, so read the number before you book.
If you want no strangers at all, the private tour is the next step up.
What a small-group tour costs
The official adult price is about EUR 18, plus a booking fee of about EUR 2. Under-18s enter free, and visitors aged 18 to 25 pay about EUR 2.
A small-group tour adds the guide and the group format on top of that. It is usually priced per person, and it varies by listing and date.
