      Vatican skip the line
      Anna_G, Apr 2024
      Great experience. Tickets sent via text. Went straight into Vatican quickly with very few people at 8:30. Great find!!
      Works great
      Katie_G, Apr 2024
      Everything went incredibly smoothly. The line looked dreadful, and we were able to get in immediately.
      We buy a skip the line...
      Timothy_B, Apr 2024
      We buy a skip the line tickets with no guide and Dario was very helpful. He explains how to get inside after he gave us the tickets. We get to skip all the long queue thanks to Dario!
      Convenient for us but more probably walking/waiting than a guided tour
      Rhett_F, Mar 2024
      We did 'skip the line tickets' only. For the Vatican Museums + Sistine Chapel that worked well for us wanderers. Dario texted me the tickets in PDF early in the morning, was really helpful in answering a few questions via text, and also sent me a picture of the entrance so we knew what to look for. I liked doing the museums unguided instead of being herded through on a tour. However, the guided tour groups do get to sneak out the back of the Sistine Chapel and directly into St. Peters basilica which could be a HUGE benefit to the tour since it allows you to also avoid the line for St Peters (yes St P is free but the line is insane by mid-morning). Still, with tickets only we experienced the museums and chapel at our own pace and then later in the afternoon only waited about 30-40 minutes to get into St P and still had enough time before close (but we did have to walk all the way back around to the St P side first which isn't trivial). If I had limited time or limited walking, I would pay for a guided museums tour in order to skip St P line. Also, in the museum, we rented the audio guides for a few euro each (2nd floor) which gave some good info on exhibits without the live guide (might want to bring some wired earbuds next time to make that a little more convenient). Be prepared for a shoulder to shoulder chaotic day at the Vatican whether on a tour or not.
      Great experience
      Pedro_R, Feb 2024
      Dario was great. He kept in contact with us and escorted us right to the Vatican. It was just a short walk from the meeting point

      Andre_C, Dec 2023
      Seeing the gardens, learning about the Sistine chapel and walking through it. Easy and quick to enter with guide. Easy to book online too. So much to see - around 2 hours

      Feedback on arranged tour Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel
      Lee_B, Oct 2023
      Well organised and easy to find. The tour was exactly what we expected, but maybe next time I would arrange a guided tour, due to the vast rooms within the museum. But very interesting place to visit.
      Response from Host, Oct 2023
      Thank you very much for your review! We will wait for you for a guided tour !!! A presto!
      Really great
      Ugn_A, Aug 2023
      Incredible experience and I am super glad that I chose to buy these tickets! Dario contacted me and sent me tickets online so we did not need to waste time looking for a meeting point and had the possibility to explore Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel at our own pace. Really recommend it if you don’t want to do a group tour!
      Response from Host, Aug 2023
      Thank you very much for your review! we are glad you enjoyed our service :-)
      Perfect solution if you don’t want any tour guide
      Lee_E, Jul 2023
      No queues and left to our own devices. Exactly what we asked for. Ticket office for collection less than 5 mins from entrance.
      Response from Host, Jul 2023
      Thank you very much Lee for your review!! We are glad you had a good experience with us!
      Great quick access to the Vatican.
      francis_o, Apr 2023
      Great way to get into the Vatican easy. We just did skip the line - not a guided tour so we got to explore at our own pace (at the sacrifice of inside knowledge) definitely would recommend these tickets to anyone.
      Response from Host, Apr 2023
      Thank you very much for your review. We are happy you had a good experience with us. A presto!
      Great experience! Group...
      Yevgeniya_G, Mar 2023
      Great experience! Group was small so it felt relaxing and the entry into museum was fast and easy. Would definitely recommend!

      Thank you very much Yevgenia for your review! We are glad you had a good experience with us and with our tour guide! A presto!
      Not a good experience
      Carol_L, Oct 2022
      This was a horrible experience due to no fault of your company but there is no crowd control. They let as many people in as possible. You are just herded through.
      Response from Host, Oct 2022
      Dear Carol, i'm sorry you had not a good experience in the vatican musuems. But you gave us 1 star for not our fault and we think it's not so right BTW we hope to see you soon with us Regards Dario
      Quick entry, but customer service needs work.
      Charles_M, Sep 2022
      Quick entry to museum. Employee was not very personable and we did not receive any maps or information on how to get a map, even though the booking states we would receive maps. No maps in a place like the Vatican Museums greatly diminishes the experience.
      Stupid easy and helpful
      Katherine_F, Jul 2022
      Insanely easy. Wouldn’t go into the Vatican any other way. Skipped the line and got us in within minutes. Hated to say goodbye to the guide!
      Response from Host, Jul 2022
      Dear Katherine Thank you so much for this kind review. We are really happy that we were able to help you and you found us friendly. Kind regards
