The crowds at the Vatican weren't too bad as we chose to start our visit at 4 pm or so. After about 2 hours, we were ready for a break and a snack. I was disappointed to find no tables with chairs at them; it was standing room only. It's not much of a break if you have to stand through it! Upon leaving the Vatican, we were approached by a taxi driver who asked if we wanted to engage him. We said yes and got in his taxi. To make a long story short, he overcharged us for the ride and, after I had given him a €50 note, he said I had only given him a €10. I was sure I had given him €50 to pay the €48 we owed. He said no, I had only given him a €10. Feeling rushed, flustered and tired after our time at the Vatican, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, only to later discover I had given him €50 and then another €20 and 3 - €10 Euro notes. Plus, I tipped him €5 Euros!! So in the end I had given him €105 Euros for an inflated taxi ride of €48. I felt like such an idiot, but in reality I had been intentionally scammed by a taxi driver, who targets patrons leaving the Vatican. Needless to say, this event left a very sour taste in my mouth regarding my Vatican visit.

We had an amazing fast-track experience in Rome with Headout while visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Pantheon. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and having guides help us through the entrances made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We skipped the massive queues and got inside surprisingly fast, which gave us much more time to actually enjoy the places instead of waiting outside for hours. Inside the Vatican Museums, we explored incredible galleries filled with sculptures, paintings, and centuries of history before reaching the Sistine Chapel. Seeing Michelangelo’s famous ceiling in person was honestly breathtaking and completely different from seeing it in pictures. The atmosphere inside the chapel felt surreal and unforgettable. We also visited the Pantheon, which was another huge highlight of the day. The architecture, the enormous dome, and the history behind the building were genuinely impressive. Overall, the experience felt very premium, comfortable, and memorable, and the fast-track access with Headout made exploring these iconic places in Rome so much easier and more enjoyable.

Tout c'est bien déroulé. Juste un reproche, la personne qui accueille au point de rv, semble assez pressée, elle parle très vite en anglais pour donner les explications. Pour les personnes qui ne comprennent pas parfaitement l'anglais, c'est difficile de comprendre. Elle ne s'est pas assurée que tout le monde avait compris. On était plusieurs groupes à n'avoir pas compris grand chose. Pour se rendre sur le site et a l'entrée, elle marche trop rapidement.

Truly was skip the line! Well worth the money. The ticket pickup place may seem shady but the staff was super nice, spoke good English. Make sure to listen to your temporary guide that walks you to the gates and gets you through security. They walk at a brisk pace about 2 blocks to get you in but can be crowded. Overall they got me there and in quickly!

Dude al comprar ya que era la primera vez que compraba con un intermediario, pero quedé 100% satisfecha con headout. El punto de encuentro es fácil de identificar, el personal al llegar es sumaramable y lo que más me gustó es que entramos rapidísimo a los museos del Vaticano. Sin duda volvería a comprar con headout.

A entrada sem fila e conduzida pela guia. O horário das 17:30h foi perfeito para entrar no final da tarde, sem muita gente e sair ao anoitecer, vendo os museus iluminados com outras corres e os funcionários fechando o edifício. Uma experiência a voltar, os museus são enormes e precisam de mais tempo para visitação.

    The Vatican museum and Sistine chapel are beautiful with something to see around every corner. It is a lot of walking and not very many seats so I would bare that in mind. We were lucky that it was not too crowded although the Sistine Chapel itself was very busy. The skip the line tickets were fantastic and our host Jana was very good. She gave us useful information, was kind and funny. I would recommend using this service.

    Puntualità al punto d'incontro ed informazioni chiare. Numero ristretto di clienti, quindi ben gestiti dall'accompagnatore. Distanza contenuta dall'ingresso ai musei. Sicuramente una buona organizzazione anche per i contatti ed informazioni ricevuti con Whatsapp. Non è esattamente un salta la fila, in realtà circa 15 minuti di attesa, comunque decisamente meno della fila con ingresso ordinario di almeno 75 minuti

    Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

    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 a 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, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of Saturn, the 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 an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes.
