Couldn’t find the...

Couldn’t find the location to pick up the ticket so that we could gain entry so it was a complete waste. We use Google maps and walk to the location which was a couple blocks away from the Sistine Chapel, but never could find the office so it was a waste of money.

Operator response

We respectfully inform you that this issue was not caused by our service. Every day, thousands of guests successfully visit our office using the same address, which is clearly mentioned on your voucher as well as on our official website. All travel partners also use the same Google Map location without any difficulty. Unfortunately, missing the location occurred due to not following the exact address provided. Therefore, this matter is beyond our responsibility. For future visits, we kindly advise using the address mentioned on the voucher accurately to reach the correct location without inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.

Overall it was good service.

We collected the tickets from the travel agency waited in line for the group of 16:30. We waited around 20 minutes. If you pick that time 16:30 there is no time after for the basilica of San Pedro. All staff were very friendly.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that our staff were very friendly and that the ticket collection process went smoothly. We appreciate you sharing your experience regarding the waiting time and the 16:30 entry, as this is helpful information for future visitors—especially concerning access to St. Peter’s Basilica afterward. We hope you still enjoyed your visit and thank you for choosing our service.

Tickets with Incorrect Date

I was given entrance tickets with the incorrect date which was one day too late. It was raining heavy and still had to line up to get in. Finally the front guard allowed us to enter the facility and we had to buy new tickets with the correct date.

No guide

There was no guide at all for this. I thought there was because of the price. Make sure you have a personal guide when you book one. This was expensive for no guide!

We encourage all guests to carefully review the tour details before booking, as inclusions such as a personal guide are clearly specified. Your comments are important to us and help us improve how we communicate this information more clearly. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Costly, confusing directions. Poor communication. Took more time than just waiting in line. Would not recommend this company.

Easy to pick up tickets...

Easy to pick up tickets and line up at front entrance. Lots to see. Bring really comfortable walking shoes, water bottle and a hand held fan as many rooms without air conditioning.

Easy to navigate to the meeting point and through security. The museum is crowded and it made the day a bit easier.

Hard to scan the tickets from the mobile

Skip the like is expensive but needed as there is an extremely hot season in Rome. Our schedule time was changed slightly . The tickets were sent as PDF files to the Mobile . They could not be scanned but we have to run to the Office and print them. Otherwise it was excellent

We are glad you had a good experience with us! Thank you for the feedback !!
