Skip the Line Vatican and Sistine Chapel Ticket with Audio Guide

Wonderful and easy experience

Wow what an amazing experience . Well worth the money. We were there for quite a few hrs but worth every minute.

We have been doing a lot of sightseeing in Rome using a real person guide. To keep costs down slightly we chose an audio guide for the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel this was a mistake. We found an audio guide very difficult to follow as the directions were confusing as there weren’t any and not a lot of information at all . Also what is not made clear to someone that is not a local is you’re not getting Saint Peter‘s Basilica, you’re only getting the Vatican museums and sistine Chapel. We would’ve realised that they are different places ( but in ghe same area)but it was all under the umbrella of Vatican City. We thought that was included. Which was a disappointment. Good initial guide when meeting us to collect our tickets with nice directions so thank you for that though.

Leo was amazing , he is our tour guide, very knowledgeable and sweet, had a great time , definitely would recommend

Fairly good experience. Tickets just get you in a shorter line and the audio guide is an overview of a few selected works of art.

Using the app for the program is a little cluncky. It doesn't give you exact instructions, instead you have to figure it out. The tour itself, So much to see and not enough time. It was said this is a 1.5 hour tour, I found that we were there for at least 5 hours.

I booked the fast track entry to the Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel. The official entry ticket is c.€20 but I paid £65 for the ticket + fast track. That is quite a mark up. However, the CityWonders staff were very efficient, and extremely helpful, charming and friendly. I was through the entry queue in less than 10 minutes. I would not hesitate to use CityWonders again. Excellent and trustworthy company with great staff.

The guide did not communicate the procedure for entry. They did not give me the ticket I needed for entry. When I presented my online barcode they wouldn't let me in. The guides were nowhere to be seen when I looked for them.

We only booked the skip-the-line audio tour guide ticket. Honest opinion - 84 € per person is not worth it. Vatican Museum ticket itself costs 25 €. Most disappointing was the audioguide, many rooms were not covered with the audio and where it had info, it was so very short overall basic info. We instead downloaded Rick Steves FREE Europe audioguide and enjoyed the tour without payed app and guidance. Skip-the-line ticket did work (you will get the ticket from tour company’s employee, which takes a bit time). For the Vatican Museum waiting line, we went accurately on the time we had on ticket and waited in a long-long line, which went fast, around 8 minutes to get in. Afternoon the line was in a shade, so no problem waiting.

The self guided tour is clunky to use and does not follow you throughout the tour so you have to constantly try to figure out where you are and then select the correct audio tour.
