Landmarks · AUDIO TOURS
Good audio tours fill up weeks ahead in the school holidays and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Get timed entry to Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia with a free audio guide app, self-paced exploring, and optional tower access for $39.
“Grand, wonderful, interesting!! It's just that downloading the audio guide is very complicated. It should be simplified.”
Audio-guided Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill with skip-the-line entry and optional arena floor access. Simple pace, big payoff.
“It was great to visit this World Heritage landmark in winter, when it’s far less crowded and queues are much shorter. Entry was easy and relaxed, and the one-way route through the Colosseum was very manageable. We purchased access to the arena floor, which was well worth it as it offers a fantastic vantage point. Had we known it was possible to also purchase access to the underground areas, we would have done so. The audio guide was reasonable, though it was sometimes difficult to align it precisely with where we were in the tour. The Roman Forum was equally impressive, offering wonderful views back toward the Colosseum and across…”
Reserved Pompeii entry with optional audio guide, letting you explore Roman streets, villas, and baths at your own pace.
“Lived up to expectations. Extraordinary to wander around these ancient Roman streets and sense what life would have been like in a Roman town.”
Skip the line at Florence’s Uffizi with a priority ticket and art-historian audio app. Hear about Botticelli, da Vinci, and more.
“It's beautiful to actually live the history that is unfolded in front of you through the Uffizi gallery. The staff of this offer were very polite and helpful.”
Skip-the-line Alhambra entry with a GPS audio navigator. See Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba, Generalife, then roam Granada at ease.
“The tickets were easy to find and pick up and they explained everything for the self-guided tour and made it very simple.”
Skip the Vatican Museums ticket line with a phone audio guide, map, and staff escort, then enjoy Sistine Chapel at your own pace.
“Local team (City Wonders) were clear, punctual and kind. Good organization and results.”
Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Hill with Pop Guide audio: fast entry, optional Arena access, and unbeatable Rome views.
“It was great - well organised - great knowledgeable guide - didn’t feel like we had to stay the whole tour but we wanted too. Miss the line was great and easy to get through security. I wouldn’t go without this service. It was great and easy”
Timed Acropolis e-ticket with offline audio. Skip ticket lines, enter by slot, plus optional museums in Athens. 40 min–3.5 hrs.
“Super simple way to see the Acropolis and other sites. We arrived early for our 8 am time slot and it was already busy, with the already purchased tickets we were able to bypass most people and go right in. Really glad we chose an early time as it is HOT. It was fairly simple to navigate all of the sites, however I do think we missed some somehow, I would suggest getting a map to be sure you get them all. Overall it was wonderful and an excellent way to start our trip”
Skip-the-line Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel ticket with audio guide and map. Pick morning or afternoon and save hours in queue.
“The listening APP was a waste of time and we gave up on using it. The Vatican is a one-and-done tour.”
Skip the Acropolis Museum ticket line in Athens, with optional audio guide and a Plaka audio track for self-paced history.
“All was nice, staff, exibitions, everything, including the food and coffee in the restourant!”
Skip-the-line Pompeii entry with audio guide and map. See amphitheater, frescoes, and more at your pace from $39.97.
“Amazing experience! There was a guided tour about to start when I got there so I paid an extra 10 euros for that and it was so worth it! Alfonso was amazing, the guided tour lasted just over 2 hours and then we could spend as long as we wanted there afterwards.”
Skip-the-line Colosseum entry with Arena Floor access (optional), a digital audio app, plus Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
“It was wonderful, but next time we will be sure to get a guide, because they are very helpful. We loved walking around, and were grateful for the elevator, as we are 65 and 75 years old. Next year we will do the underground tour with friends, and book with your company, thank you”
Skip-the-line admission plus a Colosseum audio app for a flexible visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill in Rome.
“Need to be able to have the internet and be phone savy. I didn't read the instructions carefully enough and didn't bring my headphones. Be Sal was terrific in every way”
Colosseum express entry with an audio guide app for the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Optional Arena and Underground.
“Loved it, had trouble finding the right guide. Read the instructions carefully and even message prior to have it confirmed. Colosseum was amazing, everything I hoped for. Fast track tickets worked very well, skip so much of the queue and round to the entrance queue opposed to the ticket office queue. Well worth it”
Skip-the-line Pompeii entry with an audio guide and map, plus optional art-historian tour, for a $37, 2-hour visit.
“This was a self guided tour, we purchased these tickets to skip the line and avoid the queues.”
