Worked well, but a little confusing, and not sure how much time it really saved
We got this because we were told the wait at the Vatican would be much too long without it.
We arrived at what we thought was the designated spot on time, and there was nothing marked, and no one was here to meet us.
We asked, and some Vatican City guide who has no affiliation with this business took us down a long set of steps to the road below, where he dropped us off inside a building that he thought was correct. Then the people in that building told us no, we were in the wrong place, but they graciously took us two doors down to what was the right place.
We ended up waiting for about 45 minutes in to finally get our "expedited" entry, so I'm not sure how much time we actually saved.
At least everybody was very nice.

Thanks for your feedback sir. That day you did not printed all pages of your tickets, thats why you could noticed the address and direction. We tried to get you by calling. Anyway finally you missed your scheduled tour and had a wait for the next to start. When our visitors make any late for their tour we try our best to provide them on the next one. And that day line was hours long so i believe you still saved a long waiting time. thanks for your valuable feedback again.

Terrible Guide. Terrible Tour.
Our guide was not friendly and treated everyone in the group poorly. He seemed annoyed the whole time and coupled with the enormous crowds, the whole experience was awful. Finally, my friend and I just deserted the tour group and we enjoyed ourselves much more just moving at our own pace and taking in the sights ourselves.
I can't deter anyone enough from this tour group. And even with the "skip the line" pass we still had to wait an hour from the time our tour was supposed to start till it actually began. Overall, poorly organized, unfriendly, would not do this again.
Operator response
Sorry for the inconvenience if it was a rush day. But to judgment of our guide we use for us we need your booking reference number which make confirm that you was our client. Please provide us your booking details and we will find out about the service problems from specific guide you are complaining about. Hope to hear you soon

Great Tour
My tour of the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel was excellent. Our guide ...Guero...was a very knowledgeable lovely guy. Keeping track of everyone and setting meeting points just incase anyone loses their way. Its 2 hrs plus so prepare your self for a long tour and cover shoulders and knees for ladies
