CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5I liked skipping the line to get into the museum and the museums themselves are amazing. However, we did have to wait about 35 40 mins at the meet up spot ( we did get there about 25 min early). They say to be there 15 min before but it's hard to time it exactly. It was hot and crowded outside and they call you names alphabetically ( we are W). Then you follow a guide who moves pretty quickly with a large crowd following so we almost lost her. There's no regard as in a regular line as to who's been there first and waiting longer. I'm sure it was still a good bit shorter wait than without the skip the line tickets. It was helpful for getting through security because she told us exactly what to do. Once inside you are on your own. The first couple sculpture rooms are not crowded but once you get moving in the direction of the Sistine Chapel, it is very congested and there is no place to sit down or rest for those who need to. We were fine, but I saw some others who seemed to be struggling. Be prepared for a very long wait to actually get to the chapel. That's not a complaint, just a fact to be aware of. It was worth it, but it's helpful to be aware that the weight is very long once you're in. We were still glad we went and that we did the skip the line. It is amazing!AAbhinav M
CoupleVerified booking3 days ago5/5Visiting the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel was an unforgettable experience. The entire visit was incredibly well organised, and the skip-the-line access made the experience much easier, especially with the large crowds. The museums are filled with breathtaking artwork, beautiful architecture, fascinating history and incredible details at every turn. The Sistine Chapel was definitely the highlight and seeing Michelangelo’s work in person was truly amazing. Our Headout booking process was simple and convenient, and the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. We were able to enjoy the visit without worrying about tickets or long queues. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our Rome trip, and I would definitely recommend visiting the Vatican Museums and booking through Headout.SSevket S
CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5Hello, Rome was magnificent again, as always. This time, I visited the legendary 2,000-year-old must-see structure, the Colosseum, with my son. I was just as amazed as the first time I saw it. This time, I also added the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum to the trip, alongside the Pantheon, which I hadn't seen before either. On my previous trip, I hadn't gone inside to avoid waiting in the ticket line; this time, we bought our tickets from Headout before going. We toured with great ease without waiting in any lines at all. By entering without waiting in line at all, we didn't waste any time and spent our time much more efficiently without getting tired. I definitely recommend it. Thank you very much.PPerla A
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5Easy access and skip the line entry to Vatican Museums. It was my first time with Headout and my first time visiting the Vatican Museums and oh boy it did not disappoint. What an enriching, inspiring, wonderful, mind blowing, touching and spiritual experience. Being able to see in person and experience the grandeur of the Vatican Museums and seeing the works and great masterpieces of our world renowned artists is a great privilege and a lifetime opportunity to cherish and appreciate!!! Given the time and resources I will go through the whole experience again and again spending more time in the Sistine Chapel!!!AAnne R
GroupVerified booking5 days ago5/5The most memorable part was actually Forum and Palatine Hill in which you get epic views of the Colosseum from the outside. I personally did not think it was worth it to go in to the Colosseum where we were shuffled like cattle through narrow halls with 1000s of other people while helicopters roared around overhead . It was very difficult to appreciate the epicness of the place at the same time, I mean, sure it was nice to see but the outside was almost more impressive, I would save my money to be honest.
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.
