Afternoon Tour of Ancient rome

Does anybody know of a walking tour for the Forum/Coliseum that starts in the early afternoon? We will be jet-lagged from arriving the day before and will probably want to sleep late on our first full day in Rome.

All the ones I have found all start at 9:30AM - and therefore those will not work.

Would prefer to join a small group walking tour so as not to have to pay for a private guide for just my wife and me.

Thanks in advance
Steve

How long are you in Rome for? Could you do the 9.30am the following day if that's all that is available? If that doesn't work out for you, then if you each have an ipod (or can borrow one) Rick Steves does podcasts that you can download onto your ipod before you leave home.

We took a small group Context Tour that if I recall correctly started at 1 PM. Here's the URL:http://www.contexttravel.com/city/Rome
They have a Classical Rome tour that covers what you're interested in.

Best regards

bocapa,

I also will highly recommend Context Rome. Excellent and worth every penny.
