The crowds at the Vatican weren't too bad as we chose to start our visit at 4 pm or so. After about 2 hours, we were ready for a break and a snack. I was disappointed to find no tables with chairs at them; it was standing room only. It's not much of a break if you have to stand through it! Upon leaving the Vatican, we were approached by a taxi driver who asked if we wanted to engage him. We said yes and got in his taxi. To make a long story short, he overcharged us for the ride and, after I had given him a €50 note, he said I had only given him a €10. I was sure I had given him €50 to pay the €48 we owed. He said no, I had only given him a €10. Feeling rushed, flustered and tired after our time at the Vatican, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, only to later discover I had given him €50 and then another €20 and 3 - €10 Euro notes. Plus, I tipped him €5 Euros!! So in the end I had given him €105 Euros for an inflated taxi ride of €48. I felt like such an idiot, but in reality I had been intentionally scammed by a taxi driver, who targets patrons leaving the Vatican. Needless to say, this event left a very sour taste in my mouth regarding my Vatican visit.

We had an amazing fast-track experience in Rome with Headout while visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Pantheon. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and having guides help us through the entrances made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We skipped the massive queues and got inside surprisingly fast, which gave us much more time to actually enjoy the places instead of waiting outside for hours. Inside the Vatican Museums, we explored incredible galleries filled with sculptures, paintings, and centuries of history before reaching the Sistine Chapel. Seeing Michelangelo’s famous ceiling in person was honestly breathtaking and completely different from seeing it in pictures. The atmosphere inside the chapel felt surreal and unforgettable. We also visited the Pantheon, which was another huge highlight of the day. The architecture, the enormous dome, and the history behind the building were genuinely impressive. Overall, the experience felt very premium, comfortable, and memorable, and the fast-track access with Headout made exploring these iconic places in Rome so much easier and more enjoyable.

Tout c'est bien déroulé. Juste un reproche, la personne qui accueille au point de rv, semble assez pressée, elle parle très vite en anglais pour donner les explications. Pour les personnes qui ne comprennent pas parfaitement l'anglais, c'est difficile de comprendre. Elle ne s'est pas assurée que tout le monde avait compris. On était plusieurs groupes à n'avoir pas compris grand chose. Pour se rendre sur le site et a l'entrée, elle marche trop rapidement.

Truly was skip the line! Well worth the money. The ticket pickup place may seem shady but the staff was super nice, spoke good English. Make sure to listen to your temporary guide that walks you to the gates and gets you through security. They walk at a brisk pace about 2 blocks to get you in but can be crowded. Overall they got me there and in quickly!

Dude al comprar ya que era la primera vez que compraba con un intermediario, pero quedé 100% satisfecha con headout. El punto de encuentro es fácil de identificar, el personal al llegar es sumaramable y lo que más me gustó es que entramos rapidísimo a los museos del Vaticano. Sin duda volvería a comprar con headout.

A entrada sem fila e conduzida pela guia. O horário das 17:30h foi perfeito para entrar no final da tarde, sem muita gente e sair ao anoitecer, vendo os museus iluminados com outras corres e os funcionários fechando o edifício.

Es hat alles geklappt mit den schnellen Eintritten - das ist bei der Menge an Touristen und Warteschlangen "Gold wert ", wie man so schön sagt. Gefühlt habe ich dafür auch "Gold" bezahlt... Ich war bissl spät dran, und bei anderen Anbieter gab es meine Zeitfenster für die Woche Urlaub nicht mehr. Hier habe ich noch alles bekommen, und wie gesagt, es hat alles geklappt/funktioniert - aber es war ja "nur" Eintritt (ich weiß, das ist Luxus an diesen Hotspots), keine Führung, kein Guide, im Kolosseum ein Audioguide zum runterladen mit ein paar Infos.... für luxioröse 239€... Es sind 4 Sterne, weil, wie gesagt, alles reibungslos geklappt hat (und ich die Sterne nicht mehr ändern konnte), aber es war echt etwas zu teuer, aber ich bin ja selber schuld, wenn ich das zahle... 😉

The Vatican museum and Sistine chapel are beautiful with something to see around every corner. It is a lot of walking and not very many seats so I would bare that in mind. We were lucky that it was not too crowded although the Sistine Chapel itself was very busy. The skip the line tickets were fantastic and our host Jana was very good. She gave us useful information, was kind and funny. I would recommend using this service.

When in Rome, bask in the splendor of Renaissance greats. Avoid the winding queues and get priority entry to two of the most iconic museums in the world: The Vatican Museums as well as the Borghese Gallery and Museum!

The Vatican Museums

Travel back in time and experience art and religious history with skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Vatican Museums. Explore at your own pace the Greek Cross Gallery, where you can spot intricately carved sarcophagi, browse through the Cabinet of the Masks, or see the Sala degli Animali - a virtual menagerie of fantastic beasts, real and imagined. Don't miss out on seeing the Gallery of Maps, to discover how cartographers depicted the world through the ages. While you're at it, treat your eyes to stunning masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms. Then, it’s time to admire Michelangelo’s beautiful Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and considered to be a cornerstone of western art. The Last Judgement covers the wall behind the altar and is probably the most famous single work of art in the Sistine Chapel. Please note: Entry to the museums is by obligatory online booking.

Borghese Gallery and Museum

One of the most exhausting aspects of exploring a new place as a tourist is undoubtedly the queues. Fortunately, with these skip-the-line tickets, you get to avoid all that bustle and stroll around at your own pace. The Borghese Gallery is located in what used to be the Villa Borghese Pinciana. The building of the gallery was added in with the gardens around it at first. The gardens, however, have become a separate attraction for tourists by themselves. With fountains, gardens, pink marble walls, and frescoed ceilings, the Borghese Gallery and Museum is a fitting place to house some of the world's greatest artworks. Find here everything from sculptures by Bernini and Canova, to paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian amongst others.

Important Information

Access to the Borghese Gallery is regulated with a mandatory exit at the end of each time slot so tickets are limited and sell out quickly. Tickets will not be available on-site for purchase, especially for same-day entry.

Entry to the Borghese Gallery is free for people who are physically challenged as well as their accompanying guardian (carry a valid photo ID).
