It's very, very difficult—if not impossible—to get tickets through the official website. So this site worked out just fine, even though I had to check back several times to finally get the tickets six days in advance. The prices are reasonable. The tour of the Colosseum and the Forum is extraordinary.

the skip the line tickets helped us get in in about 15-20 minutes, including the security check, which made everything a pleasant experience. the whole tour we did, a little rushed, took about 2.5 hours. we initially wanted to stay longer in certain museums and skip others, but we didn't know that to get to the Sistine Chapel for example, you have to go through all the museums, because you enter from one to the other, but somehow at the end of the day this was a good thing, because we saw (I think) everything. inside it wasn't overly crowded, except for the moments when we suddenly met 2-3 groups. we ate at the museum restaurant and the food was good and at an ok price. it was a superb museum and made our day wonderful

Buying tickets through Hedout is your best bet. The lines to get into the museum are huge, and it’s all very chaotic. It’s important to arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled time. If you’re visiting with family, plan to arrive 30 minutes early.

It was very busy because of Easter weekend, but my guide took it in stride and extended the tour length so we got the full experience. I saw many things that someone walking around alone wouldn't think to look at, and that enhanced the experience.
