My visit to the Colosseum was one of the highlights of my time in Rome. I visited the Colosseum, Mamertine Prison, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and each place gave me a different perspective on the history of ancient Rome. Walking through the Forum and Palatine Hill was especially fascinating, as I could see the remains of a city that once stood at the center of the Roman world. Mamertine Prison was another particularly memorable stop, with its atmosphere and centuries of history. The crowds around the Colosseum were expected, but they didn’t take away from the experience. Exploring these iconic places at my own pace made the day feel personal, immersive and unforgettable.

The experience went well, despite the fact that we didn't know we had to meet someone to get the actual tickets and access to the audio guide. We hadn't received the email 24 hours in advance for the audio guide. The person from the ticketing company on-site to give us our tickets was very kind and helped us get the required app and download the document. Photos are taken either inside the castle or of the outdoor view that the castle allows you to see from up high. It's magnificent!

The Colosseum was beautiful, its the start of October so it was very crowded, however this did not take away from the experience. The staff at the Colosseum was wonderful and helpful, the process for getting tickets was quick and easy, but make sure you get there a bit earlier. You should add this to your bucket list if it isn't on there already!

Thanks to our special tickets, we were able to enter the Colosseum quickly, but it was unbearably crowded and annoying. Too many people and too many groups. People constantly stopped right in front of you to take a photo. Still, the historical impression was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Very good. We went to the Colosseum and got in with no problems at all. The only issue was that the audio guide was tricky—there was poor communication, and we couldn't connect through the apps they gave us. Even so, we were able to comfortably enter the Colosseum one day, and then within 24 hours (the very next day) visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

The audio guide is very interesting. The castle on its own is incredibly impressive, but with the right context and information, the experience can become truly unforgettable. I don't think it's necessary to have a tour guide at this particular monument.

Explore Rome’s greatest landmarks with one budget-friendly combo, covering the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Mamertine Prison, and Castel Sant’Angelo.

Step inside the Colosseum at your chosen time with an audio guide, and stand in the arena that once echoed with the clash of gladiators.

Stroll through ancient temples and palaces on Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, then step into Castel Sant’Angelo to uncover its past as an imperial tomb and papal fortress.

Skip the lines at Castel Sant’Angelo with a digital audio guide in English, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, French or German, and wander through grand corridors, storied halls, and terraces with breathtaking city views.

Interesting visit. The guidance helped, but not always fit actual rooms in the castle, so need to find your way into it. Hence one star deduction.
