The card is very convenient to have, both for transportation and for some museums the only flaw is that for kids ( despite having purchased an omnia carde roma pass) free transportation is not included. So for my son I had to pay for all transportation...if the price is halved for age it should cmq have the same services as the one for adults

I did not know the company, I found it by chance because I could not get the Omnia Rome cards until I found Headout, they sent me the cards a week before the trip and I was able to organize all the important visits in Rome and the Vatican. I recommend going to the pick up point in St. Peter's Square, the girl who took care of us was very professional and made everything very clear. Thank you very much for the experience, best regards.

That's definetely not a good deal for my son, and I regret that it was impossible to get access to San Petro without waiting hours (if not the entire day ? This weekend was crazy). Hopefully a warm thank you to your assistance team and especially the kind lady at Latran complex who managed to arrange our entrance at Vatican Museum one hour earlier on saturday - that saved the program (allowed to visit Colosseum at the booked time). Thanks to her !

Very practical "all-in-one" cards. On the other hand, it was difficult to find the office where you could pick up your card; what's more, the first location suggested on the website is no longer valid for this purpose. What's more, the Rome marathon was not signposted and was blocking streets, so we wasted 1/2 a day looking for you... After reception and everything else ok...

So glad we bought the skip the line tickets! We would have been waiting in line for hours without it! With Headout we were inside and through all the right checks in a few minutes The Vatican Museums are fantastic, with many beautiful paintings and decorative ceilings. The Sistine Chapel is especially impressive. The crowds did not really hold us up while walking around inside. There's so much to see you really need about 3 hours to see it all.

I was very happy purchasing my tickets thru headout. My son said it was the only site he trusted. I was under the impression that we would be walked over to the line but we rcvd extremely clear instructions and turned out to be around the block to get in. It made purchasing the tickets and knowing where to go so much easier. We visited the vatican museum and sistine chapel with no headphones guide (we prefered without) and walked along the path and read up on a few items of interest and spent most of the time being wowed and taking photos. Stress free option I will use again! Thank u!

If you strongly hope to see The Last Judgement, I recommend you book a ticket for early morning and go straight to Sistine chapel as soon as you enter the museum! When I arrived there around 9:30, it was not so crowded and I could feel relaxed while watching the painting. After 10:00 am, there were a lot of people in the chapel and it was hard to take time to see the painting. I'm so happy that I could finally see some masterpieces that I had dreamed to see since I was a high school student. I was so moved that I went back to see them several times while I was in the museum.At the end of the day I got exhausted as the museum was much larger than I expected. However it's worth visiting!

Our guide, Francesca, was funny and easy to listen to. She brought the history to life with her stories and kept us all interested at what was a very busy time in the Vatican. The Vatican museums and gardens were stunning, the Sistine Chapel was breathtaking and St Peter's Basilicia was beautiful. Francesca's stories about the art in the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's antics were the highlight for me.

The highlight of our visit to th Vatican was going through the holy door, the crowd was not as bad as I thought they would be. Our host was great she took her time explaining and giving us the history behind the painting/structures/rooms. We spent most of our time in St. Peter basilica, we where able to go underground to see the tomb of the pope's. The we did some shopping in the Vatican store, it was a great experience.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! She taught us so much about the Vatican and explained the most important aspects of what we were seeing. We were able to skip the long lines. It was easy to find our meeting point. I would highly recommend booking with them. Worth every penny!!

Absolutely amazing seeing all of those incredible works of art. It would take a lifetime to see and hear the history behind all of the priceless works.

The service was exceptional. We arrived late, quite upset as our plans had not worked out as we hoped, expecting to be told that we'd missed our tour. Alex (or Alec?) quickly took us to the Vatican entrance where he was able to locate our guide and your group. We couldn't be more thankful for him for that. Lucia, our guide, was informative and helpful, offering to take photos of group members at different points on the tour. We will use this company again and highly recommend them to other tourists.

Carmelo, our guide was exceptional! He explained everything very well and in a very pleasant way! Please note that this tour is only VATICAN MUSEUMS and SIXTINE CHAPEL, it does not include entrance to St. Peter's Basilica. We loved everything we saw and heard!

Really great guide. We loved the small group, perfect if you're easily overwhelmed in big groups or if you want a more personal experience. Would recommend! Especially if you've never visited rome.

Everything went smoothly. Punctuality and ease. The guide Valentina was great, giving us all the information and answering all our questions and curiosities. The visit is a must for anyone going to the Vatican.

excellent experience, the people who met us at the meeting point and then escorted us to the museum were very kind and efficient, quick entrance and no lines. The visit, despite a crazy crowd of people, went very well and the guide was very good, I really liked the initial moment where he introduced us via videos placed at the entrance of the museum to the Sistine Chapel, pointing out details that we would not have noticed on our own and then researched during the visit.

Loved the tour of the Vatican museum. The tour guide was very informative and the museum was amazing. Had a little trouble finding my tickets and the meeting place. Unfortunately the Sistine Chapel was closed due the Popes passing.

The address of the meeting point with the guide was wrong. Although I asked by email a few days before, I was given the wrong address. There were too many people in the Vatican Museums!

The guide was knowledgeable and personable. I loved it! However, I think it should have been written somewhere anyway since the ticket bought also covered the Sistine Chapel, which would be closed as of April 28.This was not indicated anywhere.

I didn't expect that the Sistine Chapel wasn't part of the tour. If there has been changes, we could have been informed beforehand for transparency. We were just surprised when the tour guide told us that the Sistine Chapel was closed in preparation for the Conclave and we won't see it. If we were refunded partially for the ticket then we would be pleased. The tour was prolonged in the Vatican Museum to compensate for the booked 2 hour tour guide. We mainly booked the tour because of the Sistine Chapel. Tough the tour guide was very knowlegeable.

We were well looked after and the visit went well. Our guide was superb. Nevertheless, given the price of the tickets, even if the Sistine Chapel is closed for good reasons, a commercial gesture would have been welcome rather than a visit to a museum wing...

Our guide was super friendly and kind, but because both the sixtine chappel and the St Peter where closed we spend a lot of time in the museum. After 2,5h it's just not that interesting anymore. In the end he was able to get us into the st Peter, but the time was up so inside we did not get any tour/explanation. It's not his fault of course, he made the best of the situation - but for us it was a disapointment

Due to indisposition of the guide for the Vatican Museums, we had our booked visit varied to include the Vatican gardens. Still, it was a good experience, expertly illustrated by the lady who guided us. The presence of a very large audience somewhat marred our expectations so we will repeat the experience in quieter times. Thank you.

Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She ensured everyone had a chance to ask questions and was ok during the tour. I'd highly recommend going on a tour. It wouldn't have been the same if we had viewed the Vatican by ourselves because we would miss out on a lot of detail and significance/purpose behind certain artwork.

We loved the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel Unfortunately, our guide was in English we had booked a tour in French. The audio guide does not replace a guide. Especially considering the pay /5*89 € price. that's not honest!

I think we used a lot of time standing in one place and the guide talked a lot about the same things. We got tired I would loved to have seen more, it is a very interesting place that we have to visit again

Good our guide and sufficient time devoted (So many things to see, it would take a day ....) Useful service to avoid queues although I think the price paid of 95 euros per person on a day when admission would have been free anyway ( April 25) is excessive

Our guide, Francesca, was funny and easy to listen to. She brought the history to life with her stories and kept us all interested at what was a very busy time in the Vatican. The Vatican museums and gardens were stunning, the Sistine Chapel was breathtaking and St Peter's Basilicia was beautiful. Francesca's stories about the art in the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's antics were the highlight for me.

Good, a little disorganized and a lot of wasted time.
But it was good.
I went off on my own to explore, because the history can be googled or read in the library, most people already read and heard, then come to SEE it . Tour guide needs to focus on getting people inside, taking them to various biblical status, and areas, for pictures. This is not a history class, we only had 1-2hrs , but our tour guide spent 40 mins telling us stories and history outside and on the door way, While I applaud her of her knowledge, however this is not a history class, 6 of us had other tours scheduled right afterwards, so we left the tour midway to explore the Basilica on our own, including the Tomb areas underneath.

We had an unforgettable tour. Even though we thought we had booked an audio tour, we absolutely did not regret the guided tour. Alexandra is a very enthusiastic guide with extensive knowledge about St. Peter's and the Vatican. Her English is very good! Also highly recommended for visitors who have been to St. Peter's before!

This was my first Headout experience and it was A+! First of all, our guide, Brigitta, was wonderful! So many informations and fun facts, she was also full of humor and funny comments, it was so nice! She really made us feel close to Rome, Vatican and their history. She eas really easy to talk to and that means a lot! The climb wasn't hard, whole 551 steps. The crowd on top was big, but that is what happens with big turistic places. Our trip was so much better because we had this day in the Vatican!
