Вот текст на английском: What made the trip to Rome special was the feeling that the past hasn’t gone anywhere — it simply lives alongside the present. Morning coffee by a fountain, and half an hour later, walls that are two thousand years old. It’s this constant closeness of antiquity and everyday life: laundry hanging across from ancient columns, cyclists weaving past the Colosseum on their way to work. What made the trip special were also the small things: the light that turns golden in the evening, painting every façade a warm ochre; a nameless trattoria found by chance, where the owner simply decides what to serve you; the silence in a small church that no one else happened to enter. And there was also the sense that there’s nowhere to rush to. Rome isn’t about a checklist of sights — it’s about knowing how to just sit in a piazza and watch the city flow by.

I absolutely love Rome! It was our first time visiting Italy and seeing the Colosseum was definitely on our list. It has been on my bucket list for 50 yrs. The Colosseum was spectacular which tonnes of history! I unfortunately didn't realize until we got back to our hotel that I pre-purchased the audio guide, which would have been helpful during the visit, so that we had a better understanding. Oh well, my bad. Seeing the Roman Forum was also amazing! So rich in culture and history! I was so privleged to have been a guest in the country, the city and the Colosseum! Thank you!!

No issues. Although it says they send you the tickets a week in advance, mine arrived a little later, but I had no trouble getting in. The audio guide is a great addition for understanding the history of these sites. You need to arrive at the Colosseum 15 minutes early, and the process goes quite smoothly since people arrive at their scheduled times (and you’re not allowed in if you’re too far off your scheduled time slot). It’s best to get in before 10 a.m. to avoid the lines and the blazing sun in Rome during the summer. A must-see if you’re visiting Rome, along with the Trevi Fountain and the Vatican.

The visit was extremely nice, we used headout to book colloseum and the prison and roman forum tickets, we reached around 4 pm and the automatically re framed our timing so we could cover the prison in time , guided us properly around the colloseum and roman forum , where to take the bus , where to exit. We skipped the lines in extreme Roman heat and it was worth it. We took the audio tour and trust, it was worth it to get more context of all the things in roman history

We were so disappointed when the official 18€ Colosseum tickets sold out, but Headout saved our trip! Once inside, my mind was blown. The sheer size of the building is unimaginable for the era it was built—it 100% deserves to be a Wonder of the World. Honestly, it felt like walking straight into a Game of Thrones set. You see these massive, supernatural-looking buildings on TV and never believe they exist in real life. But this one actually does!

We picked up the tickets at the agreed-upon location. However, it was complete chaos there at first, and the lady from Vivicos Tours was, unfortunately, a bit rude and initially didn’t give us the correct information about which guide we were supposed to go to. It’s best to arrive at the agreed-upon location early enough to avoid any stress. I’d deduct one point because of the lady, but since we did receive the tickets, I’m giving it 5 stars.

To see the colosseum as you turn a corner on a street is an absolutely unbelievable sight. To go in the colosseum is something I cannot describe. You need to be there to understand. When your standing inside it, it roots you to the spot. It's been a week since I visited and im still in awe.

Everything went smoothly, and the tickets were available right away. The Colosseum itself is an impressive structure. It wasn't as crowded as I expected, either. The Palatine Hill takes you far back in history.
