The spaces are extremely impressive for their spaciousness, brightness and richness of content. The compositional scheme and arrangement of the art treasures that make up the museum's holdings are optimal. The museum's exhibition holdings are marvelous for their contents of extraordinary historical-artistic-cultural value, which I did not expect...The venues are well cared for, protected and not crowded (during my experience of visiting on peak tourist days in Rome). I used an audio guide whose texts in Italian are clear and comprehensive and not at all boring. Only a few custodians were unjustifiably abrupt and rude.

The museum has some of the best art and sculptures of western civilization and art history. This is a MUST visit place for any Roman history buff. Seeing the pieces in a book is ok but seeing them in person up close is a different experience!
I thought the exhibition was excellent. I had no problems with the queue, partly because we were practically the first to enter, having been on time at the scheduled time

The online ticket purchase went well and everything on site went as planned, so it was a plus to be able to spread the visit over two days. It's worth noting that the indication on the booking that the visit started at the Mamertine prison, where we had to be 15 minutes before the scheduled time, and that the entrance to the Colosseum would be exactly one hour after the visit to the Mamertine, was not correct, since the scheduled time was for the Colosseum, which meant that after exchanging tickets, we had to rush to get there on time, which became stressful.

We entered the Colosseo very quick. We didn't have to wait. The Colosseo is spectacular!
The staff were so helpful and accommodating when my son was sick. They were very understanding. The facilities were fantastic and it was great to be able to roam around the area in our own time and take it all in without being rushed.
Hello, It seems to me I need more information about the time required for the complete tour and the fact that there are The fact that there are almost no restrooms and no food and beverage offerings. Too many people which makes it impossible to appreciate the historical and human value of the site. Impossible to Use of the audio guide And the price of the Visit is expensive Best regards

From booking to redeeming the tickets, everything went very smoothly. Detailed information in the app and in the confirmation email.

The meeting point was hard to find. We were there about 15 minues in advance, but we had to wait in the queue. We got a a timeslot for the Colloseum 15 minutes later, but that is about the time you need to get there if you know the proper way. Unfortunately that was not clearly indicated. So we had to run to get there (and then stand another 15 minutes in the queue). So please indicate clear directions from Mamentine to the Colloseum.
We booked 2 combitickets for the Colosseum / Palatine Hill / Forum Romanum, incl. The Mamertine Prison. The whole concept went well : booking, the app from Headout that you can install where you can find your tickets via QR. Also a clear explanation via the app where to redeem your tickets via QR with direct link to Google Maps for the route. In our case, the redemption point was in the Mamertine Prison so we were able to visit it at once. Afterwards, the Colosseum was nearby (with reserved hour) so through the ticket we could enter through a separate entrance (Fast Lane). The only point of criticism : in the Mamertine Prison you could download an audio guide which required a password and password. The lady behind the counter sighed when both of us kept getting an error after 3 attempts and started complaining about us to her colleagues. This was really about it ! Fortunately, another colleague was helpful and did everything possible to help us. This may not be directly related to Headout but the outrageous behavior of that one person should be reported.

We showed up at the colosseum only to be told we needed to walk 2 more blocks to get to the prison. We had trouble finding it and 1 worker we asked was rude and pointed us in the wrong direction. Once we got inside we were yelled at by security for being late. By the time we got back to the collosium we were herded in with everyone else. Too busy. Too crowded. Then we gave up looking at whatever else we were supposed to look at. It was a long day

The glass elevator takes visitors to the top, to the panoramic terrace. There are also stairs inside the monument leading to different levels, but the elevator is the only way to reach the highest terrace.
