Beneath the Colosseum is a must
The underground access was the highlight — you really understand the scale of it. The guide connected the Forum and Palatine beautifully. Skip-the-line is essential in summer.

Walk straight past the queues into the Vatican Museums, taking in the Raphael Rooms and the spiral staircase before standing beneath Michelangelo's ceiling in the Sistine Chapel — all with a guide who knows exactly where to stop and when to move on during the busiest hours.
Food & Drink4.9Trastevere evening food tour
Cross the Tiber into Trastevere after dark and eat your way through the district's best trattorias, pizza al taglio counters and gelaterias. The small-group format keeps it intimate, and the tastings are generous enough to count as dinner.
