My family and I are hoping to take one of the night tours of the Colosseum when we are in Rome but we are confused about the way the tickets work. Is it still considered a combo ticket where you can see the Pantheon and the Forum as well? If we succeed in making the reservations, I believe we pay for and pick up the tickets when we arrive for the tour. However, what if we want to visit the Pantheon and the Forum earlier in the day? Then how do we get the tickets if we're supposed to wait until the night tour to pick them up?

A quick google search came up with a number companies doing
night tours of the colosseum; some are just colosseum others are colosseum and forum. Personally I think the forum at night could be interesting and fewer crowds! Pantheon does not need a ticket - it is a church and is free. Booking online you should get a voucher; when you get to the Colosseum you either exchange it at ticket office for tickets or it will serve as your ticket. Make sure you allow arrive at ticket office early in case of a queue.

As for as I know the forums are not open for a night time your. With the colosseum night time tour, you can call to book directly through the official site. You'll need to ask if the entry ticket includes the forums and palatine hill as I'm not 100 percent certain if they are bit I believe entry to them should be included. When you call to make the reservation you can ask that question. If the entry ticket does include entry to the other sites you should be able to pick up those tickets earlier without checking in for the tour. You can also visit those other two sites the next day.
