We had already tried the day before to get into the Vatican Museums without a reserved ticket, but we gave up after a while because the line was too long and the heat was unbearable. On the Vatican Museums’ official website, after several attempts, we were unable to make a reservation. While browsing the web, we came across Headout and were able to book for the next day with great ease. The hostess accompanied us to the museum entrance, providing us with the most important information for entry. We’re so glad we were able to visit the Museums—it was truly worth it—and throughout the tour, we kept telling ourselves that without Headout, we never would have made it. I highly recommend this agency.

Before I have only seen them in YouTube videos, Facebook and other social medias and now I that I have visited and seen them in person, I was blown away of how detailed and beautiful they are. I loved that they preserved the all the historical paintings, statues and murals in the best condition. I absolutely agree that Michael Angelo is a genius.

Bring a charger and some water, because it’s going to be a very long trip. The statues are absolutely spectacular there’s really nothing to complain about. Standing at the heart of the place where the Pope, the representative of God, is elected is a feeling that’s impossible to put into words

Confirmation email with all the necessary information for picking up the voucher, which is available at a location right in front of the Vatican Museum entrance. Upon arrival, I immediately received my printed ticket—without having to wait in line—and was escorted by a staff member to the security checkpoint inside the museum! It was really worth it to purchase the ticket in advance through Headout!

I booked my trip to Rome at the last minute and managed to get all the tickets together in one package, which made things a lot easier for me since I couldn't find any availability on other websites. It was a great experience; at the meeting point, they give you the necessary documents, and you take the tour (in our case) at your own pace.

The employee were so nice and we got all the needed information. Even when came late to the Panteon which the tickets were included in the Vatican's combo, they gave us the entrance tickets and we were able to get in the Panteon 3 hours later

Honestly I picked a good time when it was not too crowded and the organisers were extremely helpful too. I was a little scared hearing everyone's stories but skip the line tickets are the best lol and everything was convenient.

Fantastic organisation from the team. Really useful information given before heading into the museums that I feel was beneficial to know.

Leonardo Express

If you wish to leave Rome or have just arrived aboard the Leonardo Express, quickly reach the destination of your choice.

This method is the quickest alternative to all public transportation options, including lines to Florence, Bologna, Milan, Venice, and Naples/Salerno. When you land at the Airport, move to the station within the premise and catch the train which leaves every 15 minutes.

Rome Termini Railway Station is conveniently located in the center of the city allowing you multiple options to explore from here. You can take the exit onto Via Marsala to the right side, Via Giolitti to the left, or Piazza Dei Cinquecento straight away.

Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

Once you meet your host at the designated meeting point, you will take a short walk to the entrance to the Vatican Museums. Upon entering, you will be free to roam the Museum and Sistine Chapel at your own pace. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel boast the finest artwork ever to be made.

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.
