Rome for first-timers

The whole tour was insightful and eye opening thanks to our excellent guide, Daniel V, who really brought the ruins of the forum and the colesseum to life. Daniel is an excellent host and his enthusiasm for all things Rome really shone through. Communication was excellent before hand and everything went to plan on the day. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking a tour as you get so much more than trying to navigate the vast areas alone and read the information boards. Spend a few more euros, it's really worth it!

Our guide, Lumi, was fantastic! Her sense of humor made what could have been a very dull, encyclopedic recitation of facts into a lively and engaging conversation. As we went through each location, she told us facts, jokes, and kept an eye out for the kids to make sure they didn't get bored or hurt. She found better places to queue or stop that weren't overcrowded and used her insights and relationships to help when things would slow us down. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. We do think it's important to note that you must have a form of photo ID on these tours and HeadOut does not notify you of this. Because we've been on these before, we brought our passports just in case, but another family had to jump through some hoops as they were not prepared.

Fácil experiencia al reservar, gestión sencilla y rápida. La visita genial, es impresionante, una maravilla de sitio. Imprescindible si vienes a Roma.

Todo bien, recogimos las entradas sin ningún problema y prácticamente sin hacer cola. No pudimos verlo con calma porque llovió, pero aún así fue impresionante

This was a great way to get a sense of Rome's scale and locations to visit. The audio guide was informative. The music played between descriptions to block out road noise was effective and made it more relaxing. We road the full loop first, which took an hour and a half then stayed on the bus to get dropped off to visit the Oarthenon. Glad we did this since when we returned to the bus later to use it to return to the starting point it was packed and we could not reboard so we just walked back to the train station instead which fortunately worked out alright. The first tour starts at 9am and it would have been good to be able to get on at an earlier time like 8am but maybe this is related to traffic laws related to peak commuting hours. It was easy to get on at the first stop right beside the central train station.
