IMPORTANT NOTE:  The itinerary allows only for a tour of the Vatican - OR - a tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum.  There will not be time to have a tour of both.  But, please note that if you choose one or the other you will still have an opportunity to at least see both of these sites, you just won't have time for an actual tour.
