I would disagree...there aren't that many different tours. Perhaps you are commenting on the number of different third party tour operators. Be aware that if you book through a third party (and not through the official ticketing website), your reservation is NOT guaranteed. You could make a reservation right now for next summer with a third party and they may send a cancellation email days before your trip to Rome. If you want to avoid that situation, wait for the ticket / tour release and book through the official website. One downside of booking through the official website is that they currently do not offer a tour which covers all 3 attractions - the Colosseum, RF and PH. If you want your tour to include the RF and PH, you will need to book through a third party.

Q:
We are looking for an in-depth (live, not audio) guided tour of the Colosseum including Belvedere terrace, imperial balcony, arena floor, and underground. I can’t figure out if each area is a separate ticket or not. I found shore excursions from Civitavecchia that visit different parts of the colosseum like seating area and terraces, or the arena floor and gladiators gate, or underground, ranging 85€ - 150€, lasting 7 hours. All include palatine hill and the forum. We’re not interested in the other sites in the area, as we visited them on a prior visit. We just want to spend a few hours exploring the colosseum. I appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can give in figuring this out.

Hi - My wife and I took a live small group tour (6 people) of the Colosseum through LivTours which was excellent!! During the tour the guide (she did an excellent job explaining everything) explained that although we were going to see the arena, balcony, arena floor, etc. we could not go to the Underground. The reason is that only the company that controls access to the Colosseum sells tickets to the Underground (low number of tickets). Since we only wanted to see the Colosseum one part of the day, the tour we took was excellent!! We took a separate Vatican small group tour through the same company (LivTours) which also was great. Unless you strongly want to see the Underground, the type of tour we took may be a great choice. (We do not receive any credit or money from the tour company - they just did a great job for us.)
