Marco was an unbelievable guide full of knowledge
Marco is an amazing guide! I highly recommend him.
Lots and lots to explore so arrive fuelled with energy! I personally skipped ahead to the Sistine chapel as it was just so busy it was impossible to enjoy lots of the other museum areas. I do wish my ticket had included access to the outside areas. Paid an extra €8 for an audio guide which was really useful in the Sistine chapel. I am glad I went but it was almost unbearably busy (even though I booked the 8.30am entry slot). Was cool to send some post from the Vatican post office at the end of the tour!
Great tickets that allowed us to jump the very long queue. Well organised with great communication. Highly recommended, thank you!
Did the Vatican Museum, Sistine with Lucy. She brought things to life with an incredibly informative tour. The whole experience is incredible and a great way to start my time in Rome.
We choose not to have a tour guide. This ticket was great. They told us exactly where to go and how to get in. Went very smoothly. We spent over 3 hours between the Vatican and Chappel.
It was very unorganized and no one really told us we had to get tickets first then skip the line. We thought when we bought our tickets online those were the ones we were to use. Thank you to the nice gentlemen in security who explained because that is the only way we figured it out. Once we got to the place to receive tickets again very unorganized. They gave us a sticker and told us to sit down and wait. Once we asked someone finally said oh ok here are your tickets and look for line 3. So much for skipping the line. It was so long!!! We did get in but had to do a rush tour because we had scheduled another tour. If it would have started on time we would have had more time to enjoy.
Delighted with narrative attention thanks
The guided tour with Stefania Caltabiano was excellent. He gave us unexpected details and thanks to his tips we could see the Pope the next day at the time of the Angelus. Very passionate to explain.
¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado de la visita guiada con Stefania Caltabiano y que sus explicaciones apasionadas y detalladas hayan hecho la experiencia tan especial. Esperamos darte la bienvenida nuevamente muy pronto.
This tour was truly beautiful. It is a tour that, in my most humble opinion, anyone, Catholic or not, should go on at least once in their lifetime.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted that you found the Skip the Line: Ticket to the Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel such a meaningful and memorable experience.
