We joined a small group and were guided directly into the Vatican Museums. After security and ticket scanning, the whole process took about 15 minutes, which was impressive considering the huge lines at 11:00 AM — we skipped them all. The museum itself is massive, more like a labyrinth of halls and galleries, with an incredible amount of people everywhere. The Sistine Chapel was almost overwhelming — we could only take a quick look, as the crowd was constantly being moved along by the staff. Personally, I don’t dive too deeply into art, so a brief look was enough for me, but for those who want to truly immerse themselves, the heavy flow of visitors can make it very difficult. We visited at the end of September, and overall the skip-the-line service was absolutely worth it.

Booking a hosted skip the line ticket made it so easy for us to get into the Vatican Museums. After receiving detailed instructions on where to meet, we met our host,Jonathan, at the Inside Out office, which was very close to the main entrance of the museum. I think without a host, we would have waited in the very long line and maybe even the wrong one. Jonathan got us to the front of the line, through security, and escorted us right up to the 2nd entrance where we got in quickly. We spent about 2 hours exploring until we reached the Sistine Chapel. It was a wonderful experience, and yes, we would book it again. Tip: Bring headphones so you can listen to their provided audio tour on your phone or on the MP3 device you can rent at the museum for 8€.

Visiting the Vatican was truly an unforgettable experience. Before going, I could not have imagined the size and beauty of the buildings — they were far beyond what any photo could show. The guide contacted us beforehand with clear instructions about when and where to arrive, which made everything easy and well-organized. Once we got there, the guide helped us find the right line and explained everything in a friendly and professional way. Although there were many people, it never felt too crowded or stressful. The atmosphere was calm and respectful. The paintings and decorations were simply indescribable — their detail and colors left me speechless. It was an inspiring and breathtaking visit that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Hello, I went to Rome for the first time between October 30 and November 2, 2025. I booked my ticket online before my departure. On the afternoon of October 31, I planned to visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. What I really appreciated about Headout was that someone picked me up at the meeting point I'd been given. He was a very nice young man, whose first name I've unfortunately forgotten. He accompanied me inside, to the entrance of the Vatican Museums. I'm sorry I didn't have the presence of mind to give him a small ticket to thank him for picking me up at the meeting point, all the way inside the Museums. I wish I could tip him online via the Headout app. I don't know if it's possible, but I'll ask. So, when you enter the museum, you have the option of taking the escalator to get to the beginning of the tour, or going up the floors by taking a huge spiral staircase, quite wide. As you go up the spiral staircase, you discover various objects of African culture, protected in large display cases or hung on the walls. A magnificent sight. Then you have to pass through long corridors, including the Egyptian Gregorian Museum, which I absolutely had to visit. I'm passionate about ancient Egypt. 😉 After a very long walk through large galleries, where you can see a lot of valuable ancient objects and richly decorated ceilings, it's time to finally arrive at the Sistine Chapel. 😊 It's 40 metres long, 13 metres wide and 21 metres high. The Sistine Chapel's vault originally depicted a starry blue sky, as can still be seen in many churches. I assure you, your wait is well rewarded. The frescoes in the vault are very colorful and quite simply magnificent. It's a shame we're not allowed to take photos and videos. In fact, during my visit, several visitors were called to order by the security guards, as they had had time to take photos and selfies... In fact, the Vatican forbids tourists to take photos of the striking frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and, more generally, the entire collections of its museums, which are already saturated with visitors, in order to facilitate their transit. In any case, since I was able to visit the Trevi Fountain before I left and throw my coins in, I'm sure I'll be back in Rome one day. 😊 But be careful! For this to work, tradition says that you have to turn your back to the fountain, have your coin or coins in your right hand, and throw them over your left shoulder! If you throw one coin into the fountain, you're sure to return to Rome, but you don't know when... if you throw two coins, you're sure to meet love, and if you throw three or more coins, you're sure to marry "a Roman". On that last point, I disagree. Lol! There you go. Anyway, I'll definitely be coming back to Rome one day and visiting the Sistine Chapel and the other places in the Vatican that I didn't have time to see on my first visit. Nice visit to all and thanks again to Headout, for this organization. 😉

I love the Leonardo Exoress as it is the most sensible way to travel from Fiumicino . It is also my link to the rest of Europe. 👌My husband and I are Australian and we always used the Leonardo Express to come into Rome city, from the time when we first discovered it, In early 2000s. Rome Termini became like our 'local' railway station to the rest of Europe. Now that Ternini has added so many excellent extra shops/ outlets Food Court Fashionista and multiple food outlets, it is even better for tourists. It is my favourite memory place in Rome.

We had an excellent experience on our guided tour of the Roman Colosseum. Our guide, Enmanuel, was amazing: very friendly, professional and with an impressive knowledge of the history of the Colosseum and Rome, he explained everything in a clear, interesting and well-paced way, making the tour dynamic and easy to follow. In addition, he organized the time of the visit perfectly, which made us enjoy every moment without rushing. We are very happy and grateful for her excellent work, an experience that we highly recommend!

Well, the truth, as for the history of everything, is what I was most interested in, and that's why I wanted to go, but seeing the amount of public attending in all places and in particular by the route of the museum, in which you could not even breathe, with crowds and stagnation, it was impossible to really appreciate anything. Not only my comments, but also those of most of the attendees. A pity, that there is moderate attendance control.

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.
