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!SSandra M
GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5Very efficient went for 8.15 spot for the vatican. got to the meeting point earlier. Did get into the Vatican quite quickly and as I had forgotten any form of ID the lady getting us in managed to get me our tickets. I did think it was a bit expensive €75 each as getting tickets direct was £25 each. But skip the line was a big bonus after seeing the queues even at 8.15 in the morning.MMarco G
FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5Initially, I was doubtful about buying the ticket through Headout since it is not an official cultural heritage site, but I had to change my mind because we managed to enter at the scheduled time without any problems. Above all, we were thrilled with the audio guide, which guided us step-by-step through our visit to the Colosseum. Using Headout is highly recommended.DDeborah F
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Vatican Museum and being able to skip the very long queues was a real bonus (they were miles long!). The museum was interesting, with plenty of explanations and information around the topics. The gardens were also beautiful. Recommend that you visit earlier rather than later to best the crowds and the heat.RRosa I
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The guide was very attentive and explained everything to us before leaving us at the entrance. We started with the Gregorian Museum, walking slowly and taking everything in. When we realized how much time had passed, we told ourselves we had to hurry because we wouldn't manage to see it all... We spent 7 hours there and still didn't get to see everything!! It's worth going back 2 or 3 times...
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.
