Itinerary

Admission included

The Vatican Museums public entrance is infamous for its incredibly long lines. This fast track tickets allow you to bypass the general admissions line and enter much quicker and increases your time inside the Vatican by eliminating all the needless waiting around outside. Once you have your ticket, you’ll be able to wander off and explore the museums at your own leisure. Established in 1506 and created as the private Museums for the popes, containing over 70,000 works which are housed in thousands of rooms, this museum has something for everyone, from Egyptian, Sumerian and Ancient Roman artefacts to Renaissance, Baroque and even contemporary works. The highlight of the Vatican Museums is, without a doubt, the Sistine Chapel. Located at the end of a network of galleries, this Renaissance chantry is impressive. Frescos surround you from almost every angle, works by Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Botticelli cover its lower walls, and Michelangelo’s pieces dominate the altar wall and ceiling.

Run away

Terrible experience. The operator changed the entry time from the morning to the afternoon with no notice, and when we arrived he hadn’t updated his staff of the change. We had to wait in a hot office for an hour for them to fix it, and by the time we had stood in the hot afternoon son for another hour we barely had the time and energy to see the highlights. Do not waste your money on this excursion.

Vatican and chapel, superb!!!!

The Vatican and its church, superb places of worship, you will be amazed, there are several museums, but above all they have rooms where the ceilings, the paintings are magnificent, above all book your tickets, we waited in line ( wire cut with ticket) 35 minutes otherwise it's 3 hours. On the other hand, we didn't take a guide and that was good, we stayed inside for 3.5 hours. We finished with St Peter's Basilica which is free and outside, it's really magical, if you can do it, do it!!!! 2 hours in line but especially pay attention to the closing time, several people queued for nothing.

Unparalleled Exemplary Customer Service !!!

I expected a long wait after arriving at the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. The Viator contact (Rahman) was punctual and friendly and within minutes connected my friends and I (3 ppl) access to join an escorted/guided tour. best 2.5 hours ever spent alongside an informative and well versed guide on Roman History. What an amazing surprise this was and the unexpected blessing of joining an escorted tour! Best customer experience ever by Viator. Bravo

We were emailed that we...

We were emailed that we needed to pick up our tickets at the business site. That our paper we had was only a voucher to turn in for the real tickets, We went to the business address provided twice Aug 15th and Aug 16th . We were not told it was a holiday, The place of business to redeem our voucher for tickets was closed. Found someone to call the number provided and no one answered. Did not get to see the Sistine Chapelr. A competing business around the corner informed us that they hadn't sold tickets for the 16th because Sistine Chapel was closed. We feel ripped off basically.
