Itinerary
During the Roman Republic, the name "Vatican" was already in use for the Age of Situated between the Janiculum, Vatican Hill, and Monte Mario, and extending down to the Aventine Hill and up to the junction of the Cremer Creek, Vatican is a marshy area on the west bank of the Tiber, across from the city of Rome. Part of the Vatican Hill and the surrounding former Vatican Fields comprise the territory of Vatican City. Along with several other structures, this area is home to St. Peter's Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, the Sistine Chapel, and museums.
The Sistine Chapel serves as the chapel of the Papal Chapel, one of the two bodies of the papal household, known as the Papal Court until 1968, despite being the site of papal conclaves. There were roughly 200 persons in the Papal Chapel under Pope Sixth IV's reign in the late fifteenth century, including priests, Vatican officials, and well-known laypeople. The Papal Calendar stipulated that the entire Papal Chapel had to convene on fifty different occasions each year. 35 of these 50 events were masses, eight of which were held in basilicas, usually St. Peter's, and drew sizable crowds.

Great guys , Extremely helpful did not just point actually walked us & explained which line to get in . Redemption Office was easy to find !!! They made it simple & prices very reasonable --- buy in advance its worth it !!!
Thanks a lot. We trying best to best service.
If you can book in advance without Viator, you will save considerable money. Plus, we were a group of 5, which means we fully expected to enter the museums as a group -- not for 4 of us getting to enter at one time while we had to wait a 1/2 hour for the other person to enter. It kind of defeats the purpose of the notion of skipping the lines...
Thanks for your valuable comments. Thanks
It’s important to note this is simply a skip the line- nothing else. That is good- it is worth it to skip the giant line to get in. You must be VERY Careful about what time you book. We were told that you cannot change the time of your entrance, and that was our experience because of course we tested that by trying to enter 1 hr early. No dice. On the booking site, Viator, I bought two tickets at 3:30. When we picked up the “tickets”, which were simply paper printouts of our reservation, our two tickets were stapled together and the top one was for 3:30 and the bottom for 4:00- which we did not notice and did not expect. How did we end up getting two tickets for different times? And the operator didn’t point out the discrepancy- so we only figured it out after we were denied entry at 3:30. This was annoying and caused a minor inconvenience- but was unnecessary. Once you are in- it is super crowded and the museum workers are pushing to get you through quickly. The items in the museum are labeled and there simply isn’t any ability to go at your own pace. For that reason.I would recommend a guided tour. If you do that you’ll still be in a crowded, rushed visit to the museum, but your guide can help you to focus on the most interesting pieces and give you some context for the collection/architecture/etc.
Thank you for your comments. Good things is you booked only skip the line ticket ,which we already provided and get the full service. We also recommend to do guided tour which you didn't booked thats why you didn't enjoy full service. Thanks
It’s an existence long display of artwork through the museum before you get to the chapel. All very beautiful!
Thank you for give a review. Every opinion is its good for us. We trying to provide best to services.
It was a great experience with this company. Highly recommend.
Thank you
Did not have a reservation for us at the time we paid for. We came to the office they did not call or text to warn us of the change. They did end us getting us a ticket for hours later.
Your booking was 3.30pm but we make it at 4.00pm. We are really sorry. We try to contact with you but couldn't reach you. Thanks
Great experience with our booking company! All the staff there were super helpful and considerate. No wait at all, they took the extra effort and personally made sure we got in the right entrance and they got the three of us to the front of the line quickly. We booked another tour with them right afterwards. Would definitely recommend and use them again!
Thank you for give us our services value. Thanks
It is a long 2 hours plus winding though the crowed museums to get to the Sistine Chapel at the end but it is worth it.
Thank you very much. We will traying our best. Thanks
I was charged an exuberant rate for late booking . On the day of travel I got 15 hammer calls to change the time from 230 pm to 1pm. I canceled lunch and castle de Angelo and rushed but realized the ticket place is like 15 minutes from Basilica. Instead of skip the line it became more of a sweaty and hurried experience .
Im sorry i didn't explain you. On that day I just offered you if you want you can join at 1.00 pm,and you also agreed than you are coming to join early. So what's my fault? Anyway we do apologise for this matter. Thanks
Bought 2 tickets for 2 separate times so had to wait for a time in between to go in. Really seemed disorganized
We are sorry for you getting late. Thinks is now is Easter season many people visiting. We can change time maximum 30 minutes more or less. but both case people can enter 15 minutes early or later.
