Not an easy process or experience. The tickets worked for us eventually but we were expecting a self guided experience with time to roam, and were given tickets to a guided tour. We did not have enough time to follow the guide, so went on our own anyway. I’m sure we paid a higher price for a guide but if you don’t want it make sure you’re not paying for it. After checking in and leaving our guide we had to rush through the crowds to get a brief glimpse of the Sistine Chapel. The ticket process is very confusing and requires several different checkpoints to get where you’re going. This provider sent the tickets for the first entry point an hour prior to our timed entry to a cell phone number we did not have international access to. I’m not sure why we couldn’t get them well ahead of time. We then thought we could go thru the turnstiles to enter the museum right away, but were directed back to the entrance to get another different ticket for our GUIDED tour to join. Like I said, very confusing and inconvenient among all of the chaos around the Vatican. I would recommend planning your ENTIRE day around this experience with plenty of time to shuffle slowly in a wave of people taking selfies with every statue and painting they see. I will book a private guide next time in the middle of the non-tourist season so I can take a full step and not kick someone’s heel. It is a beautiful place with amazing sights that are well worth seeing but I recommend doing quite a bit of research to get a good experience.
Hi Dear customer, you booked skip the line entry ticket but we gave you skip the entry with Guide. so something plus. but your are not happy with that !!!. we sent you Tour pass with all necessary instruction through Viator message center and through your whatsapp number more than one week before. if you did not get, you have to contact us day before or almost one hour before. you did not do this. you call us just at the visiting time. fortunately we could sent you tickets instantly. now you are giving allegation to us. you are the first person who is giving us less than 5 star review.........that means you are questioning about the vatican visiting process !! i hope you will understand our service when you do tour with other operator. thank you
They called me and said they had to change my reservation time from what I initially opted for when purchasing. They forced me to either chose yes or no in the moment, otherwise if i said no to the time change, they said they would have to fully cancel my reservation. I realized later that day that I couldn't do the time they made me switch to, but because I said "yes" which I literally had no option (otherwise they would cancel my tour which i booked far in advance to reserve a spot), they refused to give me a refund. Horrible, horrible customer service.
Hi dear customer, we have done everything according to your opinion. Now you are not supposed to blame us. We never pressure our customer for anything. Your option was always open. If you cancel, you will get a full refund. Since you have chosen your option, we have done it. So your review dose not be appropriate in this case. I hope you agree. Thank you.
It was like walking through an Ikea store. Would recommend doing in Spring or Fall to really enjoy. Allow your selves 2-3 hours. The service from Viator was great, just the masses in Rome in July, didn’t work well for us.
Hi Dear Customer, if you Give Review about our service what is mentioned on our product, what we have to do or how was, not about the Rome city environment or temperature of this time. which was not included in our product or service.it will be more accurate. what ever thank you for was been our customer.
LOVED this tour! 🙌 The Vatican is huge, so give yourself at least 3 hours. The skip-the-line ticket saved us at least an hour of standing in the sun. Bring water, a camera, and prepare to be amazed 😄📸
My partner and I went early in the morning with skip-the-line access and it was perfect. We had a quiet moment together under the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It’s a beautiful and sacred space. Everything about this experience felt unforgettable and serene.
As a history nerd, this was a dream come true. From ancient Roman statues to Renaissance paintings, every room told a story. The skip-the-line ticket gave us more time to truly explore and appreciate everything.
This ticket is a time-saver, especially during peak hours. The museums are vast, so wear comfortable shoes. There’s no talking in the Sistine Chapel, but the silence actually adds to the experience. Be sure to download an audio guide app if you want extra context.
Terrible service. They first rescheduled the tour to another date but one day before the new date, they cancelled. We stood 5 hours in the line to get tickets on site. I don’t recommend.
Hi Dear customer, everything was happen because of exceptional schedule change from Vatican museums. its was happened all about the pope Francis was past. Vatican authority has done many special events and they changed many schedule. we had nothing to do in the case of Vatican decision. but apologize for our inconvenience.
Apparently even though we booked everything one hour before the originated time they cancelled our access to that area…. They said because of the new pope etc but that guy elected a couple of weeks ago thus they could inform us in advance I suppose
Hi Dear customer, Vatican museums reserved all rights to open or close partially or fully any part of the museums any time for their special purpose. we have nothing to do. we have done our job to provide you tickets. rest of the things is out of our hand. sorry for that. i hope you will understand this should not be include in the part of our review.
Horrible experience - do not use! We booked our tour two months in advance (which was confirmed) and then notified via email less than one hour before the tour was supposed to start that the tour had been canceled. When we contacted Viator (who used ShowMe Wonders / City Wonders as its local operator), they simply said their operator had to cancel the tour because there were no more tickets available. We spent one hour on the line, mostly on hold with Viator to try and understand and resolve this issue to no avail (beyond a refund). We are now standing in what will be a 4+ hour line to gain entry into the Vatican Museum which confirms that there are indeed tickets. And there are plenty of people skipping the line through prearranged tours. We are writing this one star, which should be a zero star review, due to the lack of customer service and poor communication.
Hi Dear customer, it was an accident because of unexpected schedule displacement of Vatican museums. we apologize for inconvenience. we will be more careful about customer service. i hope you will understand. thank you.
