Elina comes through

The museums were too crowded but definitely worth seeing though my visit started stressfully. I somehow missed the part with an addrress to pick up my ticket. My voucher wouldn't let me in. When I finally got to the Viator location to get my ticket, I was very stressed out and worried about getting in. Elina noticed this, stepped from behind the counter, said "come with me" and walked me over to make sure I got in okay. This was above and beyond. What exceptional serrvice!!!

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the Vatican Museums despite the stressful start. We're especially pleased to hear that Elina was able to step in and make sure everything worked out smoothly. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Rome!

SKIP THE LINE IS A LIE - GO DIRECTLY TO VATICAN WEBSITE TO BUY FOR 20EUROS

DO NOT buy from these people or site! They are robbing people, they are charging triple the price to "skip the line" BUT there is no SKIPPING THE LINE, you still have to wait about +30 min in the line with everybody else who purchased the ticket DIRECTLY from the VATICAN WEBSITE for 20 EUROS!

Operator response

We're sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations, but your review is simply inaccurate. Skip-the-line tickets allow you to bypass the ticket purchase line—they do not eliminate the mandatory security screening, which every visitor must pass through regardless of where they purchased their ticket. As for pricing, you're comparing a standard Vatican ticket to a service that includes guaranteed timed entry, reservation management, and customer support. These are clearly stated before purchase, and thousands of guests choose them for the added convenience.

Excellent (unguided) tour - shame about the rep!

Booked through TA for our day in Rome (part of a med cruise). Price and rating good so signed up. Its a bit of trudge across Rome to find the office (its quite small - but used Google Maps to find it). Warm welcome into the office, and guys behind the desk told us that all was good and to come back in 15 mins (our planned start time) - no problem - very hot day - decided to get a cold drink next door. We were then handed over to a young girl who came across as very indifferent and bored with life! (...we were treated as an inconvenience to her internet surfing). Anyway, she took us up to the start point and we skipped the lengthy queues (as described on TA). She took us to the ticket desks and gave us our tickets before she departed (she honestly couldn't wait to get out of there and back to her surfing!). As we had hoped, my partner and I were then left to guide ourselves around the museums - which were fantastic. Very busy and hot - except the Sistine which was nice and cool. In summary - well worth the ticket to jump the long queues standing in the hot sun, and the museums and Sistine were superb - well worth it!

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the Vatican Museums and appreciated the skip-the-line access, which is exactly the service you booked. Our host's role is to escort guests to the entrance, provide the tickets, and ensure a smooth entry—not to accompany the visit inside the museums. We're sorry if her communication style didn't meet your expectations, but we're pleased the service delivered what was promised and that you had a great experience overall.

The guide appeared very...

The guide appeared very disinterested in taking us to the drop off for the tour. The museum was very confusing and we found it difficult to find where to go; however, the history was great and the Sistine Chapel was absolutely the best.

Operator response

Hello Tara, Thank you for your feedback, please bear in mind you had booked a Entry ticket and NOT a guided tour - so we do not understand how come a guide is mentioned in your description of the experience. Nonetheless, we are glad you enjoyed The Vatican museum and The Sistine Chapel. Hope to welcome you on another occasion.

Vacation Highlight

Easy to pick up tickets. Escorted inside and through security. Since we were traveling with a three year old we moved at our own pace

Operator response

Hey Jeanette, Thank you for your feedback, happy to hear you had a smooth experience with us - travelling with a three year old is not an easy task but glad we assisted to your liking :)

Skip the line is awesome

Adeel was an amazing helper. We booked the skip the line tickets and they got us through in no time at all. Definitely worth the ticket! Thanks, Adeel.

Operator response

Hey Brad, Thanks for your kind words, we will be happy to pass on your comments to Adeel and glad you enjoyed your tour with us.

A must-see, but many people, go without rushing.

It is recommended to pay for fast-track access with a guide if you only want to see the Sistine Chapel, since it is at the very end that you can see this work of art; you can choose the option to book the fast-track entry without the guide and do it at your own pace.

Operator response

¡Gracias por compartir tu recomendación! Nos alegra que hayas disfrutado de tu visita a la Capilla Sixtina. Esperamos recibirte nuevamente muy pronto.
