Perfect that you go in the fast-track. Even though it is about 30 min. the alternative is 3 hours.
The audioguide not needed. Way to much talk and information. We could not concentrate on enjoying the visit and at the same time listen to a loooong speech, so we ended up taking the headphones of.

The colosseum itself was nice. But, here as well, we were attacked by "staff" wanting to sell us guiding. We had chosen our tickets, but they kept on going. As at the Vatikan, we thought they were staff that would help us find the entrance, but instead they kept on pushing us to buy guiding. This was a big downside of the visit, as we had done our research and booled the tickets we wanted, and had our reasons for that.

The audioguide was a little difficult to follow. But my husband & I enjoyed visit the Colosseum anyways. We listened to the guide while standing on a viewing deck all at once as to try to take in as much as possible.

The ticket and entry was fine. I was disappointed that I was unable to download the audio guide and the only way I could listen to it whilst at the colosseum was to be connected to 3G mobile data.

We had a 10:30 slot and per your instructions we got there 90 minutes early. There was barely any line that early in the morning so we had to wait for nearly 90 minutes because we couldn't leave after going through security and they wouldn't let us in until exactly 10:30. Very irritating and a waste of time.

Visit was just nice. Startet up eith Colosseum early in the morning and went on to Palatin and the Forum before the lines for security became to long. Could not play the audioguide inn off-line mode. So we really missed a good guide.

The site is absolutely great. But the audio voice is too plain, no sentiment leading less and less listening interest. Also there is no physical numbering in the site matching the audio guide section which makes it hard to follow what guide is talking about

I found the audioguide a little short compared to all the historical facts at the sight.

Unfortunately, I had had an accident the day before and had sprained my ankle, so I wasn't as mobile as usual. My rating is not a reflection of the site but a reflection of the my situation.

If only getting the audio cassette and getting into the Colosseum and Forum were as easy as getting the tickets. Massive crowds - and we went at 9:30 AM. Getting through the gate in a sea of people - not fun, and this was the day after Christmas when you wouldn't expect much of a crowd.

Access to the colosseum was so much easier than 26 years ago. The forum was wonderful as was palatine hill. Such interesting history!

Please include specifics about where to line up. The signs were a bit confusing at the coliseum.
