I am so overwhelmed with the info I am receiving. I will be in Rome in May, 2008. There will be 5 of us. Want tour of the Vatican, and then the Colesseum/Forum. Not in same day. Who would you recommend

Try searching this forum using a specific phrase like
Vatican tours or Rome tours or Roman Forum tours. If this doesn't work, I'd try looking at guide books, say Fromer, Fodor, or Rick Steeves.

Context Rome gives great tours of both the Vatican and Forum/Colosseum. Small groups and interesting, knowledgable guides.

Context Rome or Rome Walks. Ask for Olivia (she is a guide for both companies) she is GREAT. We did the Forum/Col. tour with her. I think its called Ancient Rome tour with Rome Walks. We used them for this tour and Jewish Ghetto tour. And we used Context Rome (Florence) for tours in Florence.

Thanks for your advice.
