Tickitaly reviews: The Colosseum

The Colosseum should be at the top of any tourist going to Roma. Purchasing my voucher before hand saved me hours of time. It took me less than 10 mins to get my actual ticket and less than 15 to go through security. The line to purchase tickets was already over 90 mins long. This was for the middle of October. The audio guide was nice. I didn't use it at the site since I didn't want to bring lots of electronics. I listened to it before hand. The map was handy. Give yourself a minimum of an hour. If you plan on listening to the audio tour at the time, you'll need around 2 hours. I only had 5 hours in town before I had to head back to cruise ship. I had two other stops to make. I didn't get a chance to visit the forum. My ticket included access to that site as well.

The Colosseum was great. I was happy with how easy it was to exchange my voucher for tickets. The line moved very quickly.

A great visit to the colosseum and we were glad we had pre booked our tickets The only negative was that we were five minutes early and were forced to wait in the intense heat until the exact entry time I wonder if we were five minutes late if we would have been refused entry .security staff very abrupt and rude

By the time we had gotten to the Colosseum, the lines were quite long. We appreciated the 'skip the line'. Directions to actually redeem our vouchers were a little confusing in all the chaos but we figured it out.

Everything fine, got in quickly! The ticket office is adjacent to the Colosseum so it wasn't hard to find it!

We enjoyed our visit. It would be useful to have info on the location of the Palatine in relation to the Colosseum and where you access the site. The audio guide was OK

Great it's a bit hard to see where to go when you come out of the metro station with all the people and touts maybe a PDF map with directions may help ?

My family had a fabulous time, very enjoyable. And the audioguide was easy to use and informative.

It was brilliant. Had three children with us and they loved the audio guides. We didn't have time to go into the forum and palatine as the colosseum was booked for late afternoon. However, we could see it on our way to the colosseum. But get an earlier ticket if you only have a day in rome and want to see it all.

I couldn't work out the downloadable audio! If I had managed this I would have given 5*

all the security checks spoil the whole experience too crowded - feels like all they interested in is getting as many people in as possible
