We are pleased to inform you that the Sistine Chapel has officially reopened to the public following the Vatican’s mourning period for the late Pope Francis. With the recent and historic election of His Holiness Pope, the Vatican has now resumed full visitor access, and the Sistine Chapel is once again included in your Vatican Museums visit. Step into the breathtaking Sistine Chapel, the final stop of your Vatican Museums experience, and witness one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance. Marvel at Michelangelo's iconic frescoes, including the awe-inspiring ceiling and The Last Judgment behind the altar—works that have inspired visitors for centuries. The Sistine Chapel is not only a work of art but also a sacred space of immense historical significance—it's where the Papal Conclave was recently held to elect the new Pope. Visiting now offers a rare opportunity to experience this extraordinary site just after a key moment in Church history.

Excellent skip the line self guided tour.

Excellent skip the light ticket opportunity. Tahsin was very helpful in getting us the tickets quickly and giving us easy to understand instructions on how to enter the Vatican museums without waiting in the long lines.

No customer relations

I am reaching out to you because it was impossible to reach you by phone before my visit on May 27 at 5:00 PM at the Vatican Museum. I arrived 10 minutes early at your office, and I did not find you, and you did not answer my phone call, which I find unacceptable. As a result, I had to buy another ticket to access the museum for €20, even though I had already purchased a ticket for €90 from Viator.

Not worth it.

The worst experience of my life. Started with the meeting point where the young man kept talking but wouldn’t answer my question. Then when we get to the museum we still had to wait in line to get in. While inside there was no one to help. No maps. The people that sold us the audio guide did not show us how to use it. Too many people. Like cattle being pushed along. If I had know about the experience I would never have tried it.

NO TOUR Guide, just tickets. Bad directions to entrance

We purchased the tickets understanding we would not have a tour guide. They didn't even bring us to the gate just told us to go the first street and make a left then go strainght.. we past the entrance because we had to go left then make a right. The skip the line was a joke, there was a huge line for the skip the line. Pass. We got on the line ant 4:45 and entrance tickets for on line and didn't enter until 5:50. We had to rush through to get to the Sistine chapel because even inside there are so many rooms to walk through before getting to the chapel, it was closing at 7:30. We should have went earlier, and I should have booked a ticket with a tour guy.

We bought these tickets...

We bought these tickets at the last minute after our original tickets (through another company) were canceled. We are SO GLAD! The representatives met us at their office near the Vatican and personally escorted us to the front of the line. It was a fabulous experience. I will definitely book with Viator again!!
