Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel Skip The Line Tickets

Cutting line unnecessary as booking is mandatory and costs 25.00 € per person. The additional €25.00 therefore corresponds to a 100% commission for the provider and the platform. Everyone has to judge.

When we went to pick up the tickets we had bought two for 140 euros, we were informed by the fact that my wife had a disability of mobility we would have free tickets. They left to return us the 140 euros and so far nothing, despite several phone calls and emails. Our tickets stayed with them and they sold them at a higher price even to customers waiting in front of the office. It was a fraud. They were liars. They did not provide any guidance.

Experience was good. Had a little trouble finding the ticket place. ………………………………………………………………. …………..

This does not come with tour but you can upgrade to include a tour. It doesn’t let you skip the line entirely but does significantly reduce wait times. We went on October 13, 2025 so the lines were very long for the jubilee. Waits were over 5 hours without this ticket. With the ticket wait times were more like 15-45 minutes. Definitely worth it if you are short on time. We upgraded to the tour and the tour guide was very knowledgeable with excellent English.

Great tour guide fun tour saw lots of great itemsand it was amazing. Would recomend this tour to all my friends

Our guide took great care of us, steering us through the crowds to get us past the lines and through security.

We still waited in a line. The tickets read 25 euros so what did we pay for. No audio. No map. Still waited in a line. Feel like we were ripped off on this one.

The description advertised this as a guided tour, but when we arrived we were told it was only skip-the-line tickets with no guide included. That was very disappointing and misleading. We ended up touring on our own and purchased the audio guide separately at the museum. That said, the museum itself was absolutely incredible. The Raphael Rooms are breathtaking and not to be missed, and of course the Sistine Chapel is stunning beyond words (just keep in mind that photos are strictly not allowed inside). Overall, the museum experience was amazing, but be aware you may not get a tour guide when you arrive.

Absolute rip off and scam. The only thing your expensive ticket gets you is quicker entry and someone who will rush you through the museums with minimal explanation so that they can get to the next tour. This was clearly a money grab and an attempt to funnel as many people as possible through their “tours” as they could in a day. Save yourself the exorbitant fee and just book a ticket directly through the Vatican website. You’ll be getting the exact same service as this “tour company” provides with better service and at a fraction of the cost. From the moment we arrived at the check in we were greeted rudely by the receptionists who rushed us to pay without any price signage and without giving us any time to check our booking to see how much we had already paid. I would have been willing to look past the rude check in experience had the tour been good and worth the €75 each that we paid. This was not the case. The tour is advertised as 2-3 hours, however our tour guide was with us for barely an hour. Once we were on the tour, he gave minimal information, couldn’t name basic dates, and spent more time explaining regional food than our surroundings. There was no explanation for the paintings in the Sistine Chapel given; rather, as soon as we got there he stood in a corner for 10 minutes and then ushered us out as soon as the 10 minutes were up. Then, the tour ended before we even went inside St. Peter’s Basilica. We saw many other tour guides inside giving their groups helpful and explanatory information, it would have been nice if our tour guide had done that for us even for a few minutes before rushing off to get his next group.

Easy Peasy and you get escorted in, which is so nice. The gentlemen that escorted me was very kind and he is a student from Florence and just made sure I was cared for!
