David, per a previous post, are you trying to help a friend? What time of the year will they be traveling, how many in their party, what are their approx. ages, and what are their interests? Honestly, the first thing I'd do is recommend that they buy a current guidebook and narrow down what 'museums' they want to visit. There are also details they're going to want to bone up on.
That said, official ticketing website for Parco archeologico del Colosseo, Forum and Palatine:

Certain tours, such as those for the underground, sell out almost as soon as they become available.
Vatican Museums; general entry + tours:

Galleria Borghese:

Tours are also available through independent tour companies and private guides, albeit for increased prices.
