Everything went well via Headout. You meet about 50 meters from the entrance and get a ticket printout. The day before we received the link to the audio guide and a short briefing on site. We wouldn't have needed this host service and it was actually far too expensive - but for our time period there were only tickets available through agencies. And they are all expensive. That's the price for not having taken care of it in time. Everything worked perfectly. The audio guide is also in German.

The audio guide in the Colosseum didn't work quite so well, the files automatically displayed at the stand didn't always fit, but that wasn't a problem at the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. The waiting time at the Colosseum was about 20 minutes. We were aware that not everything is included in the ticket, but not that there are also several exhibitions on the Palatine Hill that you can only visit with a full ticket.

As it was my first time in Rome, I found it very easy to buy and receive the tickets at the address indicated. The visit was excellent, being the first of the day and with few people... I bought the basic package, without the Palatine Hill, but I found out the other day that on the Capitoline Hill you get the same view of the Roman Forum for free. And there's lots to see around, like the equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Stoicism). I RECOMMEND IT!

  • Pulse of ancient Rome

    Your journey begins at the Colosseum, an iconic symbol of Rome's imperial past. With your host leading the way, you'll bypass the long entry lines and step straight into the ancient theater. Experience the thrill of the battles gladiators once fought, as you explore the first and second tiers of the amphitheater, delving into details of the caste distinctions and seating arrangements. Visit the museum for more historical insights. From there, you'll proceed to the Roman Forum where you can wander among the ruins of once-thriving temples, markets, and government buildings. Finally, climb the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, and enjoy panoramic views of the city below. This immersive tour includes ample time to explore these historical sites at your own pace.

    Customize your adventure

    Choose from a variety of ticket options to enhance your experience. Opt for a digital audio guide in six languages, offering a more in-depth understanding of these historical sites. For those who prefer reading, a detailed English guidebook is available. For a unique, immersive experience, go for Virtual Reality or multimedia video. You can also get exclusive access to the arena and feel the rush of gladiator battles, that pulled people from all walks of Roman life.
