Booking through Headout was smooth and convenient, and everything worked as expected at the attraction. It definitely saved us time during our Rome visit. The only drawback was that we weren’t informed in advance about the Roman Forum’s closing time, so we reached when it was almost closing. Clearer communication about timings would improve the experience. Overall, a reliable platform and good service.

Max our guide was fantastic ! We started the tour a bit late, but it was understandable with the thousands of people trying to get into the Colesseum. Max was a last minute guide as we were told Miguel was our original guide. (Sorry not sorry 😉) we had a great time , enjoyed the information and history of the ancient structures. It helped we only had a small group of 7, so we moved around easier. Highly recommended tour 🏟️💖
