The tour of the Colissé is superb, and the audio guide very comprehensive. The commentary is a little fast. The Palatine Hill has many places and monuments to see. We'll have to go back again. The audio-guide is a great switch, even if you sometimes lose track of whether you're in the right place or not. All in all, a very nice, essential visit to Rome. With Headout everything worked well. Thank you very much.

The best thing is the time available for the visit, although the audio guide was not useful, it did not have a logical order, it was difficult to discriminate where you were physically versus the app but at least you had time to discover it.

We arrived a bit earlier at the Colloseum and there was no big queue at the entrance. We needed to wait for 5 more minutes and we then went in straightaway. No hassle, the security was fast and we could enjoy the arena and other levels of the Colloseum. It was amazing and we could take our time to take many pictures. Then We went over to the Palatine Hill and Forum Romanum, There was no one there and we headed straight in. All the tickets we purchase were perfect on the phone and we had no problems going in. The whole area is amazing and being where thousands of years Romans roamed we could walk in their footsteps. We loved the whole day !

The architecture and engineering of the Colosseum is amazing! Getting up close and seeing that this was completed centuries ago just blows your mind.

Step onto the exclusive Arena Floor, where gladiators fought for survival, before exploring the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

- Upgrade: Choose between a small group tour (15 guests) for a more intimate, interactive experience or a larger group tour (25 guests) for a budget-friendly option.

I went on a very cozy, private tour with Marle Robinson, with three other tourists. Marle was amazingly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories from history throughout the experience. She's very sharp and witty, with a lot of funny jokes to keep us engaged. At the same time, she was very attentive to our needs, making sure we remained hydrated, never strayed too far from each other and had ample time to snap a couple of photos. The tour gave us fast track entry to the venues and we were able to coast through the sites swiftly due to the sheer size of the company. It's very clear that our guide is passionate about the topics covered during the tour, being a practising scholar herself. This tour is highly recommended!

The place itself is worth the visit, and certainly with the explanations given by the guides the visits are enriched. The tour was good. What they do need to check, is that in the tour confirmation they specify a place as the meeting point, which in the end is NOT correct (it is the office of a tour operator, which by chance we asked about Headout, and he told us that they always put the meeting point wrong, to which we had to walk a little further to get there...if not, we would have been waiting for hours or even lost the tour).

We had a fantastic guided tour with Diego! Such a great guide, he was excellent and knew so much about both the Colosseum and Rome in general. I was a bit sceptical about taking a tour that is not from the official site, but it was honestly great! The queues were short, so we even got extra guidance through the Roman forum.

Closseum was impressive, and the Vatican guided tour guide very knowledgeable. Because the guided tour of Colosseum was cancelled the day before, the audio guided substitute did not include skip-the-line for the other two venues included. So we decided to give the other two a miss because of massive queues. Also, we have not received a part refund. The tour of the Vatican state + St Peters was fine, but the tour startet 30 minutes too late (1130 instead of 1100).

The guide was very energetic and enthusiastic, but the tour could have taken a little shorter or more time could have been spend walking around. I appreciate it was very busy at the venue at the time, but there was time that was spend on funny interactive stories that could have been either cut out or spend with more historical facts. Otherwise great tour!

An incredible place because you can see up close the engineering with which this important building of the Roman era was built, this unique experience because being in the basement of the Colosseum with a great guide explains and teaches you where the ramps, elevators, drains and your mind "flies" imagining being in that time. It is very worthwhile

The whole experience was wonderful. Our tour guide Mya was amazing, she was so knowlegable, happy, and made the whole experience for us. without a guide we wouldn't have got a true insight to the history of this amazing buidling. Paying the extra for the underground tour was 100% worth it.

Our guide had an extraordinary amount of detailed knowledge about the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and was able to tell us a lot about life at that time. This and also the top organization of the event made everything a great experience. Robert from Munich

Alessandro was a perfect guide. We were a small group of 6 people, which was ideal given the crowds in the Colosseum. Alessandro made the tour very lively, answered each of our questions in detail and even had extra footage on his tablet. He always had the well-being of all participants in mind and guided our group to shady spots for his explanations, organized the floor changes by elevator for my mother and another participant and showed us the best spots for souvenir photos. Many thanks for a great morning, Alessandro!

Our Guide was knowledgeable about Colosseum. She made it fun. Because of her, we got hassle free entry to all the sites and location, we skipped all lines and were the first one to enter into the Colosseum. I would recommend tourists to book all 3 site tours individually because the guide doesn't show you everything in Romun Forum in a combined tour. Do this tour if you don't have enough time or if you are with family/kids.

Our guide, Francesca, was funny and easy to listen to. She brought the history to life with her stories and kept us all interested at what was a very busy time in the Vatican. The Vatican museums and gardens were stunning, the Sistine Chapel was breathtaking and St Peter's Basilicia was beautiful. Francesca's stories about the art in the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's antics were the highlight for me.

We had a fantastic guided tour with Diego! Such a great guide, he was excellent and knew so much about both the Colosseum and Rome in general. I was a bit sceptical about taking a tour that is not from the official site, but it was honestly great! The queues were short, so we even got extra guidance through the Roman forum.

It was a great success to have booked the guided tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica with Headout. I did not know you but I trusted the comments and I was right. Alessandro (our guide) was very experienced in getting around the Vatican and very knowledgeable in explaining each part of the Vatican. It is definitely worth your guided tour and I have to say that it is perfect value for money. Thank you.

The highlight of our visit to th Vatican was going through the holy door, the crowd was not as bad as I thought they would be. Our host was great she took her time explaining and giving us the history behind the painting/structures/rooms. We spent most of our time in St. Peter basilica, we where able to go underground to see the tomb of the pope's. The we did some shopping in the Vatican store, it was a great experience.

Fantastic experience, the guide Susanna immersed us in a fascinating journey through works of art and fantastic places , the excellent explanations of the historical periods and the artists who made them, created a wonderful atmosphere of involvement and attention that we can rarely find in other guided tour experiences . We highly recommend a visit to the Vatican museums , Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's if you find yourself passing through Rome with this agency and if you then have the opportunity to have Susanna as your guide you will certainly have a wonderful experience as well .

We had a fabulous guide who was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. We were informed in good time regarding a change in start time as the original guide was not available. Meeting point was easy to find and just a short walk from the entrance to the Vatican museum. The most expensive tour we booked but definitely worth the money to get the most out of the visit.

I really liked being told about the history of the Coliseum from Emperor Nero to how it stands today. The skip the line part was also convenient given the line outside. Our guide was pretty cool and the tidbits that he told throughout helped to connect with the place. Access to Palatine hill which was granted by the ticket was one of my favorite places. Personally I wish the guide had shown some more enthusiasm and amidst all the noise, his speech felt a little too fast at times to understand everything.

I didn't like that one day before they changed the schedule I had chosen. The guide was good but they did not respect the one that included headphones, and although there were only 4 of us, it would have been better to have headphones because as there are many people, suddenly the information is lost a little.

This area of Rome is one of my favorites. The last time we were here it didn't require tickets. I was disheartened as the lines were long and the tickets they were selling included the Colosseum which we had already toured. I jumped online and had these tickets on my phone in 5 minutes. I would definitely say this is one of the the must-sees in Rome!

The Sistine Chapel is especially impressive. The crowds did not really hold us up while walking around inside. There's so much to see you really need about 3 hours to see it all.

Pleasant visit with a very correct queue and on time thanks to the queue-cutting ticket, the place is magnificent and the visit pleasant despite the crowd, in 1h30 max the circuit is done and the audioguide is very useful.

This is my second time in the meze, and this time it made a very strong impression on me. Maybe because I looked at everything calmly, without rushing anywhere. A pleasant surprise were the benches for rest. Thank you for your concern! In general, there is not much to say here. Because this is a truly fascinating journey through the world of art.

I was very happy purchasing my tickets thru headout. My son said it was the only site he trusted. I was under the impression that we would be walked over to the line but we rcvd extremely clear instructions and turned out to be around the block to get in. It made purchasing the tickets and knowing where to go so much easier. We visited the vatican museum and sistine chapel with no headphones guide (we prefered without) and walked along the path and read up on a few items of interest and spent most of the time being wowed and taking photos. Stress free option I will use again! Thank u!

Considering the various and multiple attractions that await us in the visit of our capital, I think it is essential to be able to take advantage of the proposed packages, such as Roma pass , this allows you to circulate with tranquility and ease of movement ,schedule the days and related cadential visits. The only aspect that I would improve and the associated map, ver 'that you have smartphones , but a figurative is always useful. the Romans are pleasant (if you pose in the right way ... often forgotten) then I highlight that overall and clean' , always magical, the second year that I do three days of visit ... but I'll be back ....ci miss it already' .By Max and Barby

if you plan your trip around the Pass, to get the most from it, you'll be pleased. Don't just assume that all venues in the packet are still active with the pass however. Two we went to are no longer part of it, even though they were listed in the packet.. Glad for the transport option, but couldn't locate the toilets on the map :(

Our guide, Francesca, was funny and easy to listen to. She brought the history to life with her stories and kept us all interested at what was a very busy time in the Vatican. The Vatican museums and gardens were stunning, the Sistine Chapel was breathtaking and St Peter's Basilicia was beautiful. Francesca's stories about the art in the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's antics were the highlight for me.

What an amazing tour. Natalia our guide was so well spoken and had such a vast knowledge of so much of the roman history, art ,culture and religion. I had my 85 and 86yr old Aunts with me and she was so considerate and kind to them and didn't rush them. It was a fabulous tour. From the book in to the end it was well run and operated very smoothly. Well worth it . It was longer than we thought and a lot of walking so bring small snacks and water!! Thank you crown tours for a wonderful experience .

It was a great success to have booked the guided tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica with Headout. I did not know you but I trusted the comments and I was right. Alessandro (our guide) was very experienced in getting around the Vatican and very knowledgeable in explaining each part of the Vatican. It is definitely worth your guided tour and I have to say that it is perfect value for money. Thank you.

The highlight of our visit to th Vatican was going through the holy door, the crowd was not as bad as I thought they would be. Our host was great she took her time explaining and giving us the history behind the painting/structures/rooms. We spent most of our time in St. Peter basilica, we where able to go underground to see the tomb of the pope's. The we did some shopping in the Vatican store, it was a great experience.

We had a fabulous guide who was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. We were informed in good time regarding a change in start time as the original guide was not available.

We choose the tour solely because it stated 3 hours in Pompeii. In total the stop was 2 hours and 15 min was gone because the guide had to collect the tickets so we ran around in 1.45 min trying to see some highlights my husband had wanted to see for over 40 years so quite a disappointment.

Nothing. And was incorrect. Three hours in Pompeii was two w/contractor and was 1.5 when we arrived. I paid for priority but operator didn't know what that was. And tour operated waited 45 mins for late people in Sorrento before leaving w/o them. Your operator took half hour more with his tour and with all the lateness we ended up not doing the tasting. Very disappointed after doing so much homework for tour.

Highly recommend this tour! The bus ride to and from was smooth and the staff are very kind. Samuel was the leader for my bus/tour and he was amazing. Stopped at a giftshop/cafe when we left Rome and on or way back. Very friendly and helpful. I got stuck in the store in Pompeii when we were supposed to leave and he went back to the site just to get me so I could find the bus and not be left! We had about four hours of time to walk around (I did not do a tour guide, I walked around freely) and I didn't see everything but it is a huge city so it's not a big deal. Very good experience and zero complaints!

The title of the excursions leads one to understand that they shall walk from Navona to Trevi underground. In effect it is just a small part of excavated land with historic boards explaining facts. I could have stayed home and gone through all that information over the Internet. A good part of the excavated part may be seen for free on the street. Moreover, one of the ladies at the reception of the site was very unfriendly, abrupt and unhelpful. Far too expensive for what is actually offered!!! Feeling very cheated.

Tickets felt a bit sketchy because we arrived before they were open, but as soon as they showed up everything was great and didn't feel sketchy at all! Took us right to the front of the line! Awesome. Would recommend them to anyone.

Once inside the Pantheon is a marvellous site with glorious artwork. Our only difficulty was tracking down our host. Their street address did not appear on Googke Maps. Thankfully they were a very obliging team, when we found them.

I wanted to go in to the Pantheon at 5:15pm on 9th of April. I did not have ticket and the Line was very long. I bought the ticket in your Site and I had to go to the office to the next Street to get my entrance ticket. It was very easy and fast to buy. At 17:45 I went in to the Pantheon. I skipped the Line and stayed in more than 50 minutes. Thank you. Pölcz Ildikó from Hungary

Very timely to have paid these fast track tickets without queue because the line was endless and slow. So it is very good option; once inside you can buy the audio guide (10 euros x 1 person or 15 euros for 2 people); so you make an exceptional experience. The pantheon is spectacular!

Walked up with our tickets and walked in. No problems or delays. The Pantheon is awesome. Roof is amazing as so old and yet so complete. Hard to imagine just how old it is. Decorations within the building impressive too. Spare a moment to admire the entrance doors too! People within were quiet and respectful which was helpful in maintaining a sense of atmosphere and purpose.

We really liked that we skipped the line. We quickly found where they give out headphones for the audio guide. Very interesting and useful text, we listened to it several times. The Pantheon is amazing. We didn't like that we had to go to the office for a voucher, which we found out about at the last minute. We ran to look for the office along the tangled streets. If we had realized this when we bought the ticket, we would have come for the voucher the day before.

It was so easy to book and skipping the line gave fast access to the Pantheon. The lady who escorted me through was very helpful. The Pantheon is stunning. Despite the moderately high number of people there was still a genuine air of reverence, something profoundly missing at the Sistine Chapel. The frescoes,statues and especially the ceiling are amazing and the information boards describing each piece most informative.

At first it wasn't entirely clear which of the rows was the right one. Make sure you ask, otherwise you will be sent away. The fast-track queue was the longest, running right across the square. However, when it opened, it actually moved relatively quickly.

The Pantheon is one of Rome's must-see sites. The entrance ticket worked very well, but the hostess from whom we picked up our tickets hadn't given us an audioguide, and once past the entrance to the site we realized that it wasn't after the entrance that we were supposed to pick it up. The tour lacked explanation.

It was very useful to have the tickets in advance and not have to wait in line to buy them. The only thing I didn't like was that I had a little trouble knowing where the meeting point was, and I really wouldn't have needed to because the guy at the meeting point told me that what I had on my cell phone were the tickets.

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!

The Capitoline Museum well worth a visit. I would mention that the reserved entry tickets need to be collected offsite at location specified in your confirmation. It's is important to note this as we went directly to the museum and then had to backtrack. Once I found the ticketing location, the service was excellent.

Our guide was excellent. She covered a lot of information, was patient and answered all of our questions, and made sure we saw the historically important and popular sites. Her command of English was excellent and communication was never an issue.
Sabina
May 2025Verified booking
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 card is very convenient to have, both for transportation and for some museums the only flaw is that for kids ( despite having purchased an omnia carde roma pass) free transportation is not included. So for my son I had to pay for all transportation...if the price is halved for age it should cmq have the same services as the one for adults

That's definetely not a good deal for my son, and I regret that it was impossible to get access to San Petro without waiting hours (if not the entire day ? This weekend was crazy). Hopefully a warm thank you to your assistance team and especially the kind lady at Latran complex who managed to arrange our entrance at Vatican Museum one hour earlier on saturday - that saved the program (allowed to visit Colosseum at the booked time). Thanks to her !

Very practical "all-in-one" cards. On the other hand, it was difficult to find the office where you could pick up your card; what's more, the first location suggested on the website is no longer valid for this purpose. What's more, the Rome marathon was not signposted and was blocking streets, so we wasted 1/2 a day looking for you... After reception and everything else ok...

We arrived a bit earlier at the Colloseum and there was no big queue at the entrance. We needed to wait for 5 more minutes and we then went in straightaway. No hassle, the security was fast and we could enjoy the arena and other levels of the Colloseum. It was amazing and we could take our time to take many pictures. Then We went over to the Palatine Hill and Forum Romanum, There was no one there and we headed straight in. All the tickets we purchase were perfect on the phone and we had no problems going in. The whole area is amazing and being where thousands of years Romans roamed we could walk in their footsteps. We loved the whole day !
