The experience was very good as far as the purchase of the tickets and audio went. The Colosseum is definitely worth a visit, but the huge crowds made the viewing experience very slow and at times unpleasant. The lines for the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were so long that we decided to not complete the tour.

The highlight of my visit was the Colosseum. Nice experience in a historical place that is starting to be restructured to become a full coliseum. The worst thing was the contact with the person who was going to give us the entrance tickets. I had to call her by phone to get her to attend to me. We lost more than 30 minutes due to this fact.

There was a slight hitch at the start, as the meeting point was out of line with the photo we'd been given. Otherwise, the Colosseum is incredible, as are the Palatine and the Roman Forum. A journey through the centuries. A wonderful experience, with the sun to boot. Not to be missed.

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.

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.

The card is good, but with so many people in Rome, we could not use the transport service, we had to take a cab, because I hired the OMNIA + PASS ROMA in the package, but well, I loved Rome and the Vatican.

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

I did not know the company, I found it by chance because I could not get the Omnia Rome cards until I found Headout, they sent me the cards a week before the trip and I was able to organize all the important visits in Rome and the Vatican. I recommend going to the pick up point in St. Peter's Square, the girl who took care of us was very professional and made everything very clear. Thank you very much for the experience, best regards.

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...

Once on the bus, it was very easy and the commentary was informative. Our only issue was that we were told that there were three places we could collect the tickets but when we got to one of them they said they didn't do them anymore. We then had to walk in the heat to another part of the city which was quite a walk.

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.
