Directions to the pick up...

Directions to the pick up point were very poor to completely unhelpful. Once we found it and got our tickets the experience was great.

Horror booking

Horrible experience this is the only activity that I booked through this website that did not send me a ticket or voucher. I had to repurchase the ticket somewhere else. I contact customer service the basically said we got our money we don’t care about your experience

This is just for...

This is just for tickets-not a tour. The office was further from the Vatican than expected and was hard to find so plan on extra time. I was glad to have the tickets though as they were sold out elsewhere.

Good Skip the Line Tickets

Easy to get tickets, just down the street from the entrance. Once in the museum is giant and easy to walk through .

Tickets cancelled last minute

Unfortunately, we moved to the Vatican and while waiting for time to enter we were informed by email that it was not possible to confirm and that tickets were cameled. But q will return the value. We are waiting for refund

Really easy, busy but was still good!

Skipped the line and walked past everyone queuing for the Vatican. Was really easy and quick. Just be prepared to do a lot of walking inside the museum as there isn’t anywhere to sit apart from before going in and after! Was really busy on a Saturday afternoon but saw everything we needed to! Just had to collect tickets from a separate shop about a 5 minute walk away from the Vatican.
