Do I need to print my ticket or voucher?

No. Your voucher will be sent digitally and contains the download instructions for the audio guide. Keep it accessible on your phone.

Does the audio guide include entry to the Colosseum?

Not automatically. You can choose the 'Admission with Audio Guide' option at checkout, which bundles entry, or select 'Audio Guide (Admission not included)' if you already have a ticket.

Do I need a data connection to use the guide on-site?

The guide is downloaded to your device in advance, so you do not need an active data connection while you're walking around the sites.

What headphones do I need?

Any standard headphones or earphones that connect to your smartphone will work. Bring your own — they are not provided.

Can I use the guide if I visit the sites on different days?

Yes. Because the guide is on your own device, you can use it across multiple visits as long as the sites are open. Check current opening hours for the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill before you go.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Yes — the self-paced format works well for families, as you can move as quickly or slowly as the group needs.
