Description

The Vatican Museums are a must in Rome, with about 20 thousand works of art on display distributed in more than 20 rooms. Your skip the line booking will ensure you have more time to visit these magnificent masterpieces instead of waiting for hours in a row. After meeting your guest, you will be accompanied to the door without queuing up and receiving your tickets. Discover the Pio-Clementino Museum, home of the famous "Laocoonte and his children", known for inspiring Michelangelo and other famous Italian artists. Here you will also find the "Torso del Belvedere" and the Round Room. Make sure not to miss the Raphael Rooms, located on the second floor overlooking the south side of the Cortile del Belvedere, four rooms entirely decorated with magnificent frescoes by Italian Renaissance artists including Raphael. Your visit will end inside the Sistine Chapel where you can admire Michelangelo's masterpieces.

Be careful

Be careful. We knew we were overpaying but then received tickets for a Spanish tour. We did not order this nor do we speak Spanish.

Operator response

Our records show that you purchased a "Skip the Line" ticket, which does not include a guided tour or a Spanish language option. However, it appears that upon arrival, you were allowed entry using a guided tour voucher to facilitate your access to the skip-the-line lane. Since you did not order a guided tour and do not speak Spanish, this was likely an administrative error at the entrance where the wrong voucher type was scanned or applied to your entry.

Very easy process, picked up tickets and were directed right to the line for easy entry. Would recommend the early time slots to avoid big crowds.

Terrible experience,...

Terrible experience, I purchased the tour with a Spanish guide, but I was assigned one in French. I am waiting for the refund of my money.

Operator response

Nos sorprendió leer su reseña, ya que parece haber un malentendido importante con respecto a su reserva. Usted no compró una visita guiada con un guía hispanohablante; su pedido era específicamente para entradas sin colas. Le proporcionamos las entradas válidas según lo prometido, y usted accedió al recinto sin tener que esperar, que era el servicio por el que pagó. Dado que no se le asignó ni incluyó un guía en su reserva, el problema del idioma no se aplica a su experiencia. Con gusto le ayudaremos con cualquier pregunta sobre su entrada, pero no podemos procesar un reembolso por un servicio (una visita guiada) que nunca formó parte de su compra.

Friendly tour guide and educational. You walk around with an audio guide. You get to see many paintings and sculptures.

Extremely Helpful Staff

We had booked an 11:30am timeslot for our tour at the Vatican Museums, but we ended up running late because of the unexpected huge crowds at St. Peter’s Basilica. I was really worried we would miss our slot, but the staff was extremely helpful! They kindly rescheduled us to the 12:00pm timeslot without any hassle. On top of that, they gave us very clear and detailed instructions on how to enter the museum smoothly. We highly appreciated their flexibility and genuine willingness to help. Thank you so much to the team – we would definitely recommend this tour/experience because of how well they handled the situation!

Operator response

The vendor failed to...

The vendor failed to deliver the advertised service. Less than 24 hours before the scheduled visit, I was notified that the Sistine Chapel would be closed on my visit date — even though the vendor had already sold me tickets that included access to it. The vendor refused to refund or reschedule, citing a “no refund within 24 hours” policy. However, this closure was clearly known to them in advance, meaning the tickets were sold under false pretenses. I was effectively charged for a service that could not be provided.

Operator response

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We truly understand your frustration and disappointment regarding the unexpected closure of the Sistine Chapel. Unfortunately, the closure which led to a lastminute decision by the Vatican to restrict access on that day. We received the official notice less than 24 hours before the scheduled visit and immediately informed all affected guests as soon as we were made aware. we are unable to offer a refund ourselves, despite our best efforts. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope you understand that this situation was beyond our control. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
