Would you like your trip ruined? Buy tickets here!
We received our email “Your booking is confirmed!” continuing, “Great News! Your booking was confirmed by the operator. Access your tickets below ...” Discovery Live Tours (a solo operator) told us to pick up in person at the office. He was not there at the appointed time. A self-stated “colleague,” a different business at a desk in the same space phoned DLT who told us tickets were never confirmed and there is nothing he could do. We are blocked from leaving a complaint through Viator. The unaffiliated “colleague” felt some sympathy and found us some timed museum tickets at another vendor, if we were willing to pay 4X and trot quickly to the gate. I suppose I admire the entrepreneurship.

NOT Skip the line - ripoff!!!
All we got were two tickets to the Vatican Museum at triple the cost. No skip the line. I hope Viator bans this company.

Good Evening thank you for the feed bake ,consider once you collect the tickets you have only time limit of 30 minutes maximan to go in the vatican minus, if you go late of course you must wait the same if you go to the vatican entry before the time you have been book do not allow to go in before the time you book . and remember there is a security control and the check in with tickets this prouse takes 5...6..minutes if you were late it's not our fault .Regards .

ONLY quick entry
The only thing these tickets provided was quick entry. And that was great. So don't have expectations that this is a guided tour or even a good audio tour. But download Rick Steves Vatican tour and you'll be good to go!!

Do not pay for this scam
You must pick up your tickets 6 long blocks from the museum entrance, when you get to the entrance to the museum gate 1, there is a very large crowd trying to get in, it took us about 20 minutes in line to get it, total caos and disorder, I want my money, back. Don't pay for this, the line was faster than us who paid to skip the line.

Do the self-guided tour and skip that line!
Buy the tickets! You don’t want to be one of those poor souls standing in line for hours (hoping) to get in. We went end of May and it was VERY BUSY. We took the self-guided tour and it was perfect for me and my wife. We could stop and look at what interested us, take in the gardens, go where we wanted. The rest of crowd looked like drones with audio pieces in their ears on a school trip.
