Combo: Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill + Vatican Museums + Pantheon

There was so much more to The Pantheon than I realised, and the audioguide was excellent (which, this being our first stop, meant I was highly disappointed with the audioguides at The Colloseum and Villa Borghese). The highlight, however, is the architecture of the roof. Also, I understand how it becoming a church is how it has survived so long, but there was very little information about its pre-church status, which I am personally more interested in.

The experience was misleading; they say they sell tickets, but they are actually vouchers. The information on the website is not clear and is very non-transparent, which disrupted my visits. Having to go looking for the meeting point and the people to get your ticket is not convenient. Ticket prices are also highly inflated; I paid double the actual value. It also happened with the ticket to the Vittoriano Monument, where the time I bought the ticket for turned out to be the collection time, not the entry time. Customer support did not work, and the staff didn't know how to answer!! In short, it was all a huge deception.

The meeting point is located across the road, slightly above the museum entrance. Inside, the staff give stickers with the entry time written on them to those whose slot is approaching, and then you wait. In the waiting area, you join the queue from the right side, but it moves very quickly. You pass through the first security check in 3-4 minutes. The guide takes you through all checkpoints without waiting, right to the museum entrance, and lets you inside. After that, it's up to you. It's a huge museum; I probably missed some parts of it. Thanks to the Headout team.
