Super Fast Entrance!
Kelli_R, Feb 2024
I was very short on time, so this tour was perfect for me. I have been to the Vatican before, about 20 years ago, so I did not need an explanation of all that was there. We met our group about 2 blocks away at a tour agency. We were ushered through the crowds, straight to the entrance. I'd say from leaving the tour agency to being inside the Vatican took 20 minutes at most (including walking time). It was exactly what I was looking for and it enabled me to continue my morning expeditiously. Also, my daughter was four and I don't think I had to pay for her to enter.

Hello Kelli! We are so glad you were able to enjoy the Vatican despite a tight schedule! We hope it was as amazing as you remember. Generally children under five are free and under eighteen have a reduced rate at most sites! We hope to see you on your next visit to Rome! Kind regards!
Not worth using this company when there are many others
Jennifer_S, Dec 2023
Everything was as expected and we entered the Vatican museum with no issue. However tour guide had no concept on how to lead a group from their building to the museum. Her place was too fast. But worse she didn’t care if her group kept up with her, made it across a street on the same light as her, etc…

Easy and worth the money
Di_S, Aug 2023
This is a shortcut to Vatican Museum because tickets are hard to get. Easy to find the travel agent office, and worth the extra money to skip the line.

The queues to visit the Vatican are massive (hours) and there is no escaping the heat/sun in those queues. The fast track tickets meant we could do more sightseeing and avoid wasting limited time.
A very enjoyable day
JulieFarmer, Jun 2023
Would definitely recommend this we went straight to the front. Waited for our tickets then made our own way through the sitting Chapel which was amazing but very busy. Then I queued for about an hour in the hot sun for the Vatican but it was worth it. Plenty to see in here.
Efficient & Easy
SandraTvarian_S, Jun 2023
Exchanging Viator voucher at the designated tour company meeting location was easy. Guide took us to the museum entrance a short distance from the meeting location. We waited briefly inside while she got tickets for everyone. We were then free to visit on our own.
Very easy and quick - thankful to Viator!
Paul_O, Jun 2023
It was a hot day so skipping the line was a plus - thankful for our time in Rome. Viator made our visit easier!
Good experience
Daniella_N, Jun 2023
Easy to locate the office and smooth check in process. Received our tickets on arrival to Vatican and explored at our own pace.
Chaos in the beginning.
Thomas_W, Jun 2023
Finding the location to trade our voucher for tickets was a nightmare. Several tour companies offer “skip the line” at the same location. Viator did not have a flag or sign to identify their specific location. We had to fight huge crowds and ask at several locations to find someone who would accept our vouchers. Once we found the right person, we were guided in, given our tickets for entry, and were able to tour the Vatican Museum, as promised.
Pay the price for being spontaneous
Nir_C, May 2023
There were no avalable tickets at the oficial Vatican website at 16 Euros for the museums so we bought them for 32 Euro at Viator.... The "skip the line" was a bonus that saved us about 30 minutes standing in the line. It was a good decision for a dpontaneous trip. Don't miss the museums.
Quick entrance
Jeanne_S, May 2023
Entrance was quick and easy guide to the entrance was courteous and helpful once inside you have to follow the crowds. Few shortcuts

Alexandre_P, Oct 2023
Pagamos o dobro do valor do ingresso para evitar as filas do museu do vaticano! Porém atualmente não existe mais acesso direto individual do museu até a Basílica, então, ficamos 3h para entrar na Basílica. Este ingresso vale a pena de ultima hora somente, se comprou pelo site oficial, é só aguardar o horário e entrar.
Bel servizio
MariaVittoria_A, Jun 2023
Sono stata molto soddisfatta del servizio. Il responsabile è stato efficiente e gentile. Ci siamo trovati al punto di incontro alle 13:45 e alle 14 eravamo già dentro ai Musei Vaticani.

Venden el ticket en la página promocionándola con “guía VIP”, siendo que es solo la entrada al museo sin guía
