Our visit to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Palatine Hill went very smoothly, and we had no trouble getting in. What I liked most was that everything was well organized and we were able to explore at our own pace. It was a really fun day and a great opportunity to see these places in person.

I absolutely love Rome! It was our first time visiting Italy and seeing the Colosseum was definitely on our list. It has been on my bucket list for 50 yrs. The Colosseum was spectacular which tonnes of history! I unfortunately didn't realize until we got back to our hotel that I pre-purchased the audio guide, which would have been helpful during the visit, so that we had a better understanding. Oh well, my bad. Seeing the Roman Forum was also amazing! So rich in culture and history! I was so privleged to have been a guest in the country, the city and the Colosseum! Thank you!!

We happened to visit on a very hot day, but even so, thanks to the app—which tells you where to enter—and the offline tickets, getting in was super fast. I highly recommend this app!!!

Entering the Coliseum Arena was, without a doubt, an unforgettable experience. Having the chance to step into that specific area—and everything that it represents—was incredibly rewarding.

This is an amazing experience. That being said it is much different than 20 years ago with the amount of security and how you have to pay to see everything. We were provided with the app to listen to the guided tour. We didn't use it. It was a bit chaotic trying to find the meeting point and we rushed and there was no need too. Again if you don't care for the commentary I'd just wait and book directly through colosseum. The security lines were short.

A good audio guide, but it would have been more practical if it were synchronized with the visitor's location for a better experience.
