The visit to the Colosseum, Forum and Palatine was really good. Our guide, Eleonora was exceptional. She told us not only the history of the site, but filled the explanation with details and that made the visit very fruitful.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Janina. The place itself was very impressive and we learned a lot of exciting background information, presented in a very likeable, humorous way. Even the children stayed with us until the end. We can only recommend the German-speaking tour with Janina.

Buying tickets from headout can be easy and fast. They offered Chinese audio guide, 7 euro per person. But you need to download the app and bring your own earphones before arrinving, since you could only listen to the audio guide through your own phone, and the internet there really sucks. The thing I still haven't come up with is how did my family add into the audio guide smoothly, they obviously didn't mention it that clear in the technical manual. Overall, it is easy to use, but you need to do enough preliminary work. We still had a good time there.

The entry process was very straight forward and the instructions provided by Headout were super clear. I felt very prepared to battle the crowds today. The tour itself was incredibly memorable-a lot of pinch me moments were had. I loved that there was no time limit with the Palatine Hill and we could take out time exploring the area.
