The Colosseum, Palatine, Roman Forum and Mamertine Prison are all within easy reach. The queue cutter wasn't much use, as I was there at 9 a.m. in the morning, and even though it's crowded, the queue moves quickly to get into the Colosseum. Please note! When you take the 9 a.m. time slot for the Colisée, the Mamertine prison doesn't open until 8:30. So you'll have to go to the prison to collect your tickets for the rest of the tour, and come back once you've finished. For the Castel Sant'Angelo, I arrived right on time and was able to get straight into the tour. It wasn't very crowded, but the entrance was smooth and stress-free.

Everything worked out perfectly. The tickets arrived by email the day before. The audio guide was great. It was a little more difficult to find the guides at St. Peter's Basilica as they were wearing yellow vests instead of the green ones described. Buy a ticket for the dome at the same time. We wanted to do this spontaneously and ended up standing in line for a long time. It wasn't nice, but it's not the fault of the vendor that far too many people are allowed into St. Peter's Basilica and the dome at once. In the grotto in particular, you were literally pushed through.

Saint Angel's Castle. Very interesting place, showing a piece of history. It is good that a lot has been preserved, an impressive monument . Raphael's sculpture stands guard there with dignity 😀the views from the tower are breathtaking, the idea of a cafe on the terraces, where with a cup of coffee, a glass of Aperol you can admire it all super 🤩 the exhibition dedicated in honor of John Paul II was mega impressive. There were no big queues behind the tickets, but having the opportunity to buy online you gain several minutes, which with a busy schedule of sightseeing priceless

    It most certainly wasn't the queueing system or the security. Having fast pass tickets didn't help in any way. The system was so disorganised, nobody knew what was going on. We were in the queue for nearly 2 hours. However, we enjoyed the Basislica once we got there. The place is amazing.

    It's hard to say anything about the basilica itself. It's a total delight and admiration. Words can't express it, it's just music that bursts out. Michelangelo's pieta, how could such a thing be created by a boy?

    Highly recommended if you don't want to spend half the day queuing. Definitely worth the money. The audio guide leads you to the most important stations with relevant information.
