We had an incredible experience on our VIP tour of the Vatican. From start to finish everything was well organized and seamless, and the smaller group size really made the visit feel special. Our guide was absolutely fantastic ,knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history and art. They brought the Vatican’s treasures to life with fascinating stories and insights we never would have picked up on our own. The pace was perfect, giving us time to take everything in without ever feeling rushed. Having priority access was a real bonus, as we could spend more time enjoying the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the museums without the stress of long lines. Truly unforgettable, highly recommended to anyone visiting Rome!

Our tour guide Katerina was extremely knowledgeable and helped explain everything we were seeing throughout the tour. This skip the line tour was perfect which minimized waiting in the very long lines. We were able to walk right in with this tour without any lines. Having a guide is also better because you gain more insight of what you're looking at throughout the tour. The Vatican museum was crowded but I suppose that it being the year of the jubilee as the cause. The tour lasted about 2.5-3 hours but was well worth it. The Sistine chapel is amazing and I highly recommended this tour for everyone. You will not be disappointed. This is my second time doing this tour and I will definitely be doing it again in my next visit.

Exploring Rome was an incredible journey through history and culture. The Colosseum left me speechless with its sheer size and the stories it carries of gladiators, emperors, and ancient Roman life. Walking through its arches felt like stepping back in time to the heart of the Roman Empire. Later, the Vatican amazed me with its unmatched beauty and spirituality. From the breathtaking art in the Vatican Museums to the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel and the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica, every corner revealed something extraordinary. Both landmarks offered completely different but equally unforgettable experiences—one rooted in the power of ancient Rome, the other in the timeless legacy of faith and art.

Explore Ancient Rome and the Vatican City with skip-the-line entry and expert-guided tours, all with a single ticket.

Visit the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill as your guide brings Rome’s imperial past to life.

Marvel at the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums, Raphael Rooms, and more with a dedicated guide.

Choose to do both tours on the same day or split them across days—it’s entirely up to your travel plans.

Excellent tour guide, she was clearly spoken and with excellent knowledge and a lovely sense of humour. Head sets were a definite plus as it was a busy day and we would not have been able to hear her otherwise. The monuments were amazing, worth the money and the visit. Everything was very well organised. There were toilet breaks and a cafe for a quick drink of water at the start. The tour guide was very kind to my sister who was unwell just before the start of the tour. She wasn't able to join us for the first part at the Forum but with guidance from our tour guide she was able to join in for the Colosseum. Thank you!

I did the Vatican City tour through Headout with skip-the-line access. The lines outside were massive, but we breezed right in – totally worth the extra cost! The Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica were stunning, and the Vatican Museums were full of jaw-dropping art and architecture. Highly recommend – smooth experience, totally worth the extra cost!

A wonderful experience with a passionate and top-notch guide. The only downside was the crowds! Far too many people, from the entrance to the museum, the chapel and finally the basilica, it's hard to take your time. You feel like you're in the Paris metro. Apart from that, a very nice visit.

The guide's passion. He enthusiastically told us about all parts of the Colosseum. When we were tired after it he motivated us to persevere anyway and how grateful we were. The Roman forum was beautiful and also absolutely worth seeing. Best view of rome
