It's just absolutely stunning. Amazing place to walk around and listen to the history through the guide. Everyone in my group really enjoyed our tour.

Our tour was scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m., but it was postponed to 12:00 p.m. that same morning, and when we arrived at the meeting point, it turned out that we couldn’t start until 1:30 p.m.—on our own (without a guide)! To pass the time, we visited the Roman Forum and had to wait another 20 minutes before being allowed in. At the Colosseum, we had to wait in line for another 10 minutes, even though we had a time slot. The whole experience was a huge hassle, and we cannot recommend this tour operator at all!

Visiting the Colosseum was great experience however the instructions of the headout were incorrect and we run around the area few times before we understood what to do. When you have the tickets just go to the entrance and don't follow the instructions given.

The communication and information were great! Unfortunately, we still had to pick up a printed copy, quite a distance from the Colosseum! They could have handled that in a smarter way.

Purchasing the tickets online was fine, although I felt a little harassed by the multiple emails with discount offers before I confirmed a purchase. Various discounts were applied (as I booked multiple tours), but I felt that this just made it feel like the original price was probably inflated to allow for the discounts. I downloaded the Headout app as it implied this would be better to access tickets, but I don't think it's been any more useful. The Colloseum ticket options were not clear to me - I purchased a 'full experience- arena' tour, which I expected to be a 'full exeprience' with access to the arena. It was only when in the Colloseum that we realised there are 'full experience- underground' and 'full experience - attic' ticket options as well, which I do not recall were available when I booked. If you want to see it all you will need all 3 options - arena, underground and attic. Meeting the tour operators for the tickets was fine. Once the ticket is handed to you, with a small bit of info about getting into the Colloseum, and accessing the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, you're left to your own devices. I personally do not think the layout of the Colloseum is very well signed - you can easily miss bits. It is very busy. The audio guide we had to download was fine but drained a lot of battery as it asks to use GPS, which isn't even very accurate. I think a personal tour guide would have been better. It was annoying to have to download the audio guide through yet another app. The Colloseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were very interesting and I'm glad we've done them but I dont think Headout or the local tour provider added much extra to the experience - they were literally just parties to a transaction, with little personal interaction.

The experience was great; the guides were helpful and very organized. Access to the Colosseum was easy and well-signposted. The same goes for access to the Roman Forum. What we didn't like at all were the helicopters that were constantly circling over the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Unfortunately, that ruined the whole atmosphere.

The Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular destinations, attracting over 5 million visitors every year. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. A stage for gladiator fights, often including animals, the Colosseum has quite the bloody past. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

Your Colosseum ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Head to the Roman Forum and travel back in time as you walk along the same paths as the ancient Romans did. You’ll get a chance to witness popular sites including the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus and much more. Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on as an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes.

Borghese Gallery

The Borghese Gallery is situated in what used to be the Villa Borghese Pinciana. The building of the gallery was clubbed with the gardens around it at first. The gardens, however, have become a separate attraction for tourists by themselves. Explore the vast collection of sculptures, paintings, and antiquities at your own pace, right from the start. As you enter the museum, you are likely to notice the magnificent marble sculptures of the Twelve Roman Emperors. A vast array of rare paintings adorn much of the wall. Daphne and Proserpina are intricate and expressive. You could gaze at these sculptures for days and still miss out on the finer expressive details. The rooms are rarely ever crowded due to the controlled inflow of visitors, giving you ample space to stroll around the museum and contemplate the great works of art.

Important Information

The Colosseum

You MUST carry valid ID with you and present it at the time of entry if requested. Should you fail to do so, venue authorities may deny you entry and such instances are not liable for reschedules or refunds.

The experience involves a fair amount of walking, hills, and stairs; as such we recommend wearing comfortable attire and suitable walking shoes.

For safety and security reasons, no large backpacks or pieces of luggage are allowed inside the Colosseum. No storage facility is available. You can, however, take a baby stroller into the Colosseum with you, should it be necessary.

Quick tip: If you choose an afternoon slot to visit the Colosseum, you will not have enough time to visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill on the same day. If you wish to end your visit on the same day, please arrange your visit to the Colosseum accordingly.

Borghese Gallery

Access to the museum is regulated with a mandatory exit at the end of each time slot so tickets are limited and sell out quickly. Tickets will not be available on-site for purchase, especially for same-day entry.

Until the month of May, only two children are allowed access for a time slot.

You may pick up your ticket only on the day of the event at the opening of the checkout counter an hour before the show (until the beginning of the same).

Entry is free for people who are physically challenged as well as their accompanying guardian (carry a valid photo ID).

The Cloakroom is temporarily located outside the Museum.

Luggage storage is mandatory for items such as bags, backpacks, strollers or trolleys, umbrellas, selfie sticks, or other items whose danger or size is assessed by the security staff.

It is also forbidden to enter the Museum with food, drinks (including water), and animals (with the exception of guide dogs).
