Easy access and skip the line entry to Vatican Museums. It was my first time with Headout and my first time visiting the Vatican Museums and oh boy it did not disappoint. What an enriching, inspiring, wonderful, mind blowing, touching and spiritual experience. Being able to see in person and experience the grandeur of the Vatican Museums and seeing the works and great masterpieces of our world renowned artists is a great privilege and a lifetime opportunity to cherish and appreciate!!! Given the time and resources I will go through the whole experience again and again spending more time in the Sistine Chapel!!!

Excellent combo! Highly recommended to save time and avoid long lines. I recommend going to the Colosseum with plenty of time and lots of energy, because it's huge, and right after comes the tour of the Roman Forum, where you also walk quite a bit. There's so much history to discover, so it's well worth being prepared and taking your time to enjoy it. The Vatican Museums and the Pantheon are smaller, but there's still plenty to explore and see. An incredible experience and totally recommended!

The most convenient and fastest way to travel from Fiumicino to Termini. Be careful, though, if you buy your ticket online for a specific time: I arrived early, boarded the first available train, and had to pay a 5€ penalty because it wasn't the time on my ticket.

This skip the line saved us so much time!! They were so helpful in walking us to the museum entrance, through security, purchased the tickets and walked us to the entrance. Probably saved us 2-3 hours and the headache of trying to figure out where to go next!! Great service!

Fantastically well organized. When picking up the tickets, we received a brief explanation about practical matters. Then the host took us inside, bypassing all the lines, security checks, etc. After that, we were able to start our tour on our own (we had booked tickets without a guide).

The entire process of purchasing and pickup and the hosted enterance were worth every penny. We skipped a 2-3 hr line and had a lovelt host who made the process very stress free. If visiting again I would only purchase a hosted entrance with skip the line.

I liked skipping the line to get into the museum and the museums themselves are amazing. However, we did have to wait about 35 40 mins at the meet up spot ( we did get there about 25 min early). They say to be there 15 min before but it's hard to time it exactly. It was hot and crowded outside and they call you names alphabetically ( we are W). Then you follow a guide who moves pretty quickly with a large crowd following so we almost lost her. There's no regard as in a regular line as to who's been there first and waiting longer. I'm sure it was still a good bit shorter wait than without the skip the line tickets. It was helpful for getting through security because she told us exactly what to do. Once inside you are on your own. The first couple sculpture rooms are not crowded but once you get moving in the direction of the Sistine Chapel, it is very congested and there is no place to sit down or rest for those who need to. We were fine, but I saw some others who seemed to be struggling. Be prepared for a very long wait to actually get to the chapel. That's not a complaint, just a fact to be aware of. It was worth it, but it's helpful to be aware that the weight is very long once you're in. We were still glad we went and that we did the skip the line. It is amazing!

Very efficient went for 8.15 spot for the vatican. got to the meeting point earlier. Did get into the Vatican quite quickly and as I had forgotten any form of ID the lady getting us in managed to get me our tickets. I did think it was a bit expensive €75 each as getting tickets direct was £25 each. But skip the line was a big bonus after seeing the queues even at 8.15 in the morning.

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Vatican Museum and being able to skip the very long queues was a real bonus (they were miles long!). The museum was interesting, with plenty of explanations and information around the topics. The gardens were also beautiful. Recommend that you visit earlier rather than later to best the crowds and the heat.

The guide was very attentive and explained everything to us before leaving us at the entrance. We started with the Gregorian Museum, walking slowly and taking everything in. When we realized how much time had passed, we told ourselves we had to hurry because we wouldn't manage to see it all... We spent 7 hours there and still didn't get to see everything!! It's worth going back 2 or 3 times...

This direct connection about every 15 minutes is very useful. Very well signposted at the airport, it allows you to reach Rome's Termini station. If you have an online ticket, it is validated directly, but if you have a paper ticket, you need to stamp it. We also took it on the way back, as taxis or buses are dependent on traffic.

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.
