I thought the process purchasing the tickets was very easy. The emails provided by Tiqets were also very good and simple to use with the appropriate barcodes and instructions on where to go on arrival at the Colosseum and then at the Roman Forum.
It was extremely busy with the crowds around both sites, so pre-purchasing our tickets was very worth it.
An amazing experience.
There are indeed crowds but they are well managed and organized.
Staff is friendly and professional.
Option to see the Arena is truly recommended.
Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are well marked and should be explored at an easier pace.
(Top of the Palatine Hill contains a vast Palace of Domitian with its own Stadium - Garden).
As you exit this truly mesmerizing place,you are greeted by Circus Maximus.
Booked the Colosseum a week before visiting Rome to ensure entry and avoid the queues. The experience was excellent and I would highly recommend. The audio guide was pants.
Absolutely brilliant and the audio guide was well worth it 😊
An absolute must trip. Great price.
Excellent thing, you don't have to wait in lines for tickets. Fast entry and it's all like described.
Really nice you get to walk around the walls and the arena
It was very easy to get to the entrance showed on the map, but if you buythe ticket from the entrance, it's cheaper. And there were not so many people in the row.
Wow!!! I was impressed!!!! Thank you !!!!
It was great experience walking and sitting there...
You can see centuries passing by you..
It was a great experience to see the Colosseum.
Absolutely fantastic - a must see!
Our booking for the colosseum was early (about 10 am), and we walked straight in without queuing.
Loved this self tour, a great bang for buck and I felt like I saw all we needed.
The app had map with each areas to click on for all the all the stories and lore, and amazing price! The floor access is a must, and loved exploring Palestine hill and forums as well.
It’s at least 3-4 hours needed if you are exploring all of it, bring water and suggest umbrella as most of it is in sun.
The Colosseum was great although hard to know what part the ticket covered.
The Forum was far to crowded to get into and a wait in 31° heat was too much for us
It was a okay, nothing special but nice, tickets were so easy to use!!
The history of this place most impressive, the crowds were big but it was easy to get in, definitely worth visiting once in your life.
It’s a majestic structure and gives a glimpse of of what it would have been back then ..
Bit too crowded though and you need certain tickets to accesss different areas of the colosseum
Slightly more expensive to pre book but you don’t need to queue on the day which is worth it. Wouldn’t bother paying for Arena access as you can get onto the opposite side anyway.
The audio guide was not very useful when in the Colosseum itself. Was better to listen to after the visit. There was a lot of movement within the site and just too distracting to try to figure what to listen to.
Non refundable tickets, so if something happens, too bad.. very chaotic experience inside, but amazing to visit... a lot more has been excavated/rebuilt since my last visit 35 years ago
No clear info about audio guide. No one advised us that the Foro Romano closes at 16:30 and our tickets for Colosseum were at 15:30 so no Foro Romano.
Colosseum itself was amazing but I couldn’t enjoy it as I expected because my audio guide didn’t work. They refunded me the money, but they didn’t give me a new QR code to try the audio guide.

There was no one un the site to assist me. It was impossible to find anyone, sings o place for assistance, information and delivery of the audio guide. All the staff from the Colosseum have not knowledge of this company and didn't bring help.
Bad experience with the audio guide. No clear info were provided about bringing your own headphones and we paid 17£ for a service we were unable to use. Self audio guide are free at Colosseum
Guide was awful didn’t work, waste of money. Download Rick Steve guide and save yourself aggravation from the awful app this audio guide uses
