We had an amazing experience visiting the Vatican, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Francesco. He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history, art, and stories to life in a way that kept everyone engaged. Despite the enormous crowds and the extreme heat, he navigated our group of 20 people effortlessly, making sure no one was left behind and that everyone was as comfortable as possible throughout the tour. What we appreciated even more was how thoughtful he was with our two kids. He made an effort to include them, keep things fun, and help them enjoy the experience as much as the adults. Francesco was professional, organized, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Vatican. Thank you for making this such a memorable experience!

The tour is worth the money. It’s not cheap compared to the standard admission price, but it’s absolutely worth it. Our experience was incredibly positive from the very beginning—starting with the text message from Massimo asking if we were having trouble finding the meeting spot, all the way to our guide Antonella, who masterfully led us through the various rooms of the Vatican Museums, providing us with lots of details and interesting facts and answering all our questions. Thanks to these tickets, we skipped the entire line and always had priority access. Highly recommended.

I intially had a morning tour and was bumped to the afternoon for unknown reasons explained to me. It was a fortunate that I did not have anything planned. The tour was good although at times it was hard to hear, even with the headsets, as it was very busy. The guide was knowledgeable, offered interesting facts, and had a good sense of humor. Nicely done.

My guide was called Luisa. Great tour! We could do everything without waiting to long. Our guide was always caring for us, asking if everything was alright, stopped for the restroom and to drink water with this warm weather. She never was in a hurry. Also when we were waiting for people she was always talking and telling stories. So great experience!

We did the guided tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Romes Hostory. I liked that we went at our own speed. It didnt feel rushed. We were given plenty of time for photos also.

Experience two sides of Rome—ancient power and papal splendor—on this flexible, skip-the-line guided combo.

Getting started

Head to your assigned meeting points at the Colosseum and Vatican, depending on your chosen dates. Arrive at least 15–20 minutes early with valid ID for a smooth check-in. Security checks are mandatory at both sites, so expect bag scans.

What to expect

Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Walk in the footsteps of gladiators and emperors at the world’s most iconic ancient arena.

Enter the Colosseum with a guide who brings the amphitheater’s brutal history to life.

Continue to the Roman Forum—once the political and commercial heart of Rome.

Climb Palatine Hill, the mythological birthplace of Rome and home to imperial palaces.

Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

Discover one of the world’s greatest art collections inside the Vatican.

Stroll through halls like the Gallery of Maps and the opulent Raphael Rooms.

End at the Sistine Chapel—stand beneath Michelangelo’s breathtaking ceiling fresco.

What to bring

It's recommended to wear comfortable shoes as this experience involves a fair amount of walking.

What's not allowed

Colosseum

For safety and security reasons, no large backpacks or pieces of luggage are allowed inside the Colosseum. No storage facility is available. You can, however, take a baby stroller into the Colosseum with you, should it be necessary.

Vatican Museums

Strict dress code: knees, shoulders, and back must be covered for all guests.

Big bags and suitcases aren't allowed inside the attraction, but guests can make use of the lockers on site.

Since complete silence is to be observed within the walls of the Sistine Chapel according to the rules of the Vatican, the guides will provide you with information about the site outside the Chapel. Visitors are to maintain silence within the Chapel as well.

Photography and the use of mobile phones is strictly prohibited in the Sistine Chapel.

Pets and other small animals are not allowed in the venue, with the exception of guide dogs.

Accessibility

Colosseum

This experience is wheelchair and pram/stroller accessible.

Vatican Museums

While the guided tour is not accessible by wheelchair, the Vatican Museums offer free wheelchair hire and free entry for visitors with mobility impairments (certified invalidity exceeding 74%) and a companion if required.

Additional info

Bookings require accurate full names, so double-check at checkout to avoid issues. Bring a valid photo ID—it must match your ticket for entry!

Tours may be split across days or done on the same day based on your choice.

Book tours on different days or leave at least 3–4 hours between them. If visiting both on the same day, keep at least 1 hour between slots—commute takes 30–40 mins.

Each guided tour lasts 2–3 hours, so allow time for personal exploration too.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.
