What is a quality “Avoid The Line” tour company in Rome to book with or small tour company to visit Rome’s major sights? Planning trip for Fall 2019. Do not mind a large group . Thank you.

Hi,
Check out/browse The Roman Guy https://theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/
They also have many YT videos to walk you through the neighborhoods. They are chock full of suggestions and helpful information. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=theromanguy
Walks of Italy is another good tour group. https://www.walksofitaly.com/
Dark Rome Tours https://darkrome.com/rome-tours
Browse through all of them, compare itineraries and prices. I think the top two offer discounts. Call to confirm.
Have fun!
By the way: Street/bus vendors trying to sell you "skip the line" tickets to major attractions are not a good deal. Best to spend a bit more with one of the reputable tour companies I listed above.

The only line you can avoid is the tickets line. You don't need to pay for a tour you are not interested in to avoid it, just get tickets in advance on the official sites and you'll save time and money.
Many operators forget to tell customer that there are a few free sites left in Rome, for example Saint Peters Church and the Pantheon are both free and there is only a line for security. Official Tours from the Vatican are authorized to use the back door in the Sistine Chapel that leads directly to Saint Peters'. This way, if you want to see the Basilica after the Vatican Museums, you can avoid to wait in line a second time for security .
