Booked this experience the night before going as the online tickets for the Vatican were sold out. Make sure if you take Taxi you go to the meeting point and not just the Vatican because they can be far from each other. We booked the 8 AM tickets but it takes about 20 minutes to get the tickets after meeting the guide. Good thing is you're waiting in the office rather than out in the sun. After that you are guided to the entrance and we went right in. Very easy and convenient would totally recommend. Only thing is it might be confusing at the meeting point because there are many other tour guides with flags and you start wondering where you're supposed to go.

The Vatican Museums house an unparalleled collection spanning millennia, from classical sculptures to medieval tapestries. However, the crown jewel remains Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, a breathtaking fresco that transforms the chapel into a divine canvas. The different scenes, particularly the banishment from the Garden of Eden, demonstrate artistic genius that transcends religious boundaries. The chapel's role as the papal conclave site adds profound historical weight to its aesthetic splendor.

It is like entering into another world filled with magnificent art, history, and immersing culture. Skip-the-line tickets made the whole experience stress-free and convenient. The Vatican Museums are absolutely stunning, and seeing the Sistine Chapel with my own eyes was beyond words—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be remembered and celebrated. Lastly, what made the whole experience so memorable and special is meeting different people from different backgrounds around the world.

    The guide was really supportive in accessing the museums. Kind, friendly, friendly and professional, available for any questions even in pre-visit to know the rules of access. The Museums are indescribable except to say that they are a totally unreplicable thing in this day and age. We were inside three and a half hours. Unforgettable experience. Wonderful.

    The museums are really worth your time: astonishing, culturally interesting and so many works of art that you don't get to see anywhere else like this. Is skip the line worth it: maybe. It depends on if you want to wait a while longer (1 or 2h) to save approximately 30€/ticket. For us travelling in August and on our honeymoon the skip the line was totally worth it.

    I loved being able to not have to wait in the lines due to the skip the line we bought, I also loved being able to explore the Vatican on our own
  • 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.
