Booked this experience the night before going as the online tickets for the Vatican were sold out. Make sure if you take Taxi you go to the meeting point and not just the Vatican because they can be far from each other. We booked the 8 AM tickets but it takes about 20 minutes to get the tickets after meeting the guide. Good thing is you're waiting in the office rather than out in the sun. After that you are guided to the entrance and we went right in. Very easy and convenient would totally recommend. Only thing is it might be confusing at the meeting point because there are many other tour guides with flags and you start wondering where you're supposed to go.

Visiting the Colosseum is an absolute must-do in Rome because it’s not just a monument, it’s a journey back in time. Standing inside, you can truly imagine the scale of the Roman Empire and the incredible engineering of nearly 2,000 years ago. The Colosseum is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, and walking through its arches makes history come alive in a way that no book or documentary ever could. It’s also beautifully located in the heart of Rome, surrounded by the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, so in one visit you experience the very essence of Ancient Rome.

Wow wow wow. Amazing trip to the coluseum today. Entry was easy and smooth. Plenty of guys selling very cold water outside for a fair price. You won't be disappointed the coluseum is fantastic. All was going round my head was quite from the film gladiator. My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."...

    It was great! It's a shame, however, that we didn't have access to the platform. We didn't realize at the time of purchase that this level was not included... On the other hand, access to the Forum and the Palatine offered magical and unforgettable moments!

    The guide was really supportive in accessing the museums. Kind, friendly, friendly and professional, available for any questions even in pre-visit to know the rules of access. The Museums are indescribable except to say that they are a totally unreplicable thing in this day and age. We were inside three and a half hours. Unforgettable experience. Wonderful.

    The museums are really worth your time: astonishing, culturally interesting and so many works of art that you don't get to see anywhere else like this. Is skip the line worth it: maybe. It depends on if you want to wait a while longer (1 or 2h) to save approximately 30€/ticket. For us travelling in August and on our honeymoon the skip the line was totally worth it.

  • Access 2 of Rome's treasures: the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum, with a single ticket!

    Vatican Museums

    At the Vatican Museums, and explore a whole world of art for as long as you like. Admire classical sculptures, tapestries, and paintings by Renaissance greats like Raphael, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Leonardo da Vinci. There's an entire section devoted to Modern Religious Art, where you'll find pieces by van Gogh, Dalí, and Picasso. Must-visit sections of the Vatican Museums include the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, the Sala Rotunda and the Gallery of Statues, and the Hall of Busts.

    Of course, one cannot visit the Vatican Museums without seeing the iconic Sistine Chapel. Located at the end of the Vatican Museums and neighboring St. Peter's Basilica, this 15th-century chapel's walls and ceilings are covered by some of the most astounding frescoes ever produced. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo in a span of 4 years, is considered to be a cornerstone of western art. The Last Judgement covers the wall behind the altar and is probably the most famous single work of art in the Sistine Chapel. Please note: Entry to the museums is by obligatory online booking.

    Colosseum

    The Colosseum is believed to have been built as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people. This majestic outdoor amphitheater was once the epicenter for entertainment, hosting public spectacles and games. Quite a bloody past. It was, after all, a stage for gladiator fights, often including animals. This is your chance to step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

    You also get entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. See popular sites such as the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, 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, it is now an extensive archaeological site.

    The audio guide, narrated by local experts, offers an interactive map of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. As you walk around, tap the area you are exploring and listen to brief commentary dedicated to that spot. Tip: Bring along your earphones for the best audio experience.
