We had already tried the day before to get into the Vatican Museums without a reserved ticket, but we gave up after a while because the line was too long and the heat was unbearable. On the Vatican Museums’ official website, after several attempts, we were unable to make a reservation. While browsing the web, we came across Headout and were able to book for the next day with great ease. The hostess accompanied us to the museum entrance, providing us with the most important information for entry. We’re so glad we were able to visit the Museums—it was truly worth it—and throughout the tour, we kept telling ourselves that without Headout, we never would have made it. I highly recommend this agency.

Before I have only seen them in YouTube videos, Facebook and other social medias and now I that I have visited and seen them in person, I was blown away of how detailed and beautiful they are. I loved that they preserved the all the historical paintings, statues and murals in the best condition. I absolutely agree that Michael Angelo is a genius.

Bring a charger and some water, because it’s going to be a very long trip. The statues are absolutely spectacular there’s really nothing to complain about. Standing at the heart of the place where the Pope, the representative of God, is elected is a feeling that’s impossible to put into words

No point pretending otherwise - the crowds were horrendous. Luckily, of course, we didn't have to join those huge queues for tickets ( in the.blistering sun) - that made an enormous difference to the day. Everything was still very crowded but you could weave your way through the groups with guides. I much prefer.making my own way and I'd been before which helps. It is tbe sheer volume and area of artistic historical exhibits that is so breathtaking for me. And you can never relax. Every corridor, every wall , every ceiling is full of artistic treasure. And, of course you reach The Sistine Chapel ( look out for the sneaky back staircase!)... Hundreds of people still, of course, but I was lucky enough to get a bench near the back so I could relax and take in the marvellous sight. Everybody will have their favourite (apart from the miraculous work in general of Michelangelo on the ceiling and the Last Judgement ). I always look at the Sibyls and the Prophets. The Delphic Sibyl is my favourite I think - I don't know why...Despite the heat and the crowds it is an experience I will never forget. Everybody should go at least once

Confirmation email with all the necessary information for picking up the voucher, which is available at a location right in front of the Vatican Museum entrance. Upon arrival, I immediately received my printed ticket—without having to wait in line—and was escorted by a staff member to the security checkpoint inside the museum! It was really worth it to purchase the ticket in advance through Headout!

I booked my trip to Rome at the last minute and managed to get all the tickets together in one package, which made things a lot easier for me since I couldn't find any availability on other websites. It was a great experience; at the meeting point, they give you the necessary documents, and you take the tour (in our case) at your own pace.

The employee were so nice and we got all the needed information. Even when came late to the Panteon which the tickets were included in the Vatican's combo, they gave us the entrance tickets and we were able to get in the Panteon 3 hours later

Honestly I picked a good time when it was not too crowded and the organisers were extremely helpful too. I was a little scared hearing everyone's stories but skip the line tickets are the best lol and everything was convenient.

The whole process was quick and easy. While visiting the Castel, there seemed to be a surprise around every corner. .When you think it was the end, surprise! Another treasure to see. It was amazing!
