Visit the gardens, it's exceptional and in a small group, so very pleasant! I was worried before the appointment because it wasn't very clear, in fact the meeting point is in the museum after the security checks, where you had to show up with your e-ticket at least 25 minutes before the meeting time (you have to take into account how long you'll have to queue before arriving at the security checks). After that, you're completely taken care of, which is very reassuring. An unexpected bonus: we were given an audioguide in the language of our choice on board the mini-bus. The staff were very courteous, and everything was in place to make us feel at ease. We were then left at the entrance to the tour as advertised.

Bought the vatican garden, vatican museums and sistine chapel "skip the queue" tickets. Garden tour is short but nice, museums....too many, but still excellent. The artist rooms leading to the sistine chapel are awe inspiring, you can photo or video everything except the sistine.....DONT QUEUE!!! PREBOOK YOUR TICKETS!!! If you dont prebook you will be standing and queueing for two hours or more in the baking sun amid heavy traffic, being constantly harrassed by on the street tour guides. Be wise and be early and spend your short wait time sitting across from the vatican museum entrance enjoying an ice cream or a cool drink in the shade. The prebooked "skip the queue" ticket price is worth the avoidance of the queues alone.

The Vatican Museums are fantastic, you can't get through everything. The tour through the garden beforehand was interesting. There is no waiting time, you really should arrive 30 minutes in advance, but it's worth it for what you get to see afterwards. However, the instructions for being allowed into the museum were a little unclear, only the soldiers had a white tent. We had to speak to the ticket inspectors to find out which queue we should be in. Once inside, everything was very simple and well organized.

Plan your Rome itinerary with this money-saver combo offering entry to St. Callixtus Catacombs, St. John Lateran, Vatican Museums, and Sistine Chapel.

The whole museum was a unique experience, it was fascinating to see the sculptures and mosaics, to see every detail is incredible, so much perfection in the finishes, without having at that time the materials for its elaboration, especially the details and painting in the Egyptian room, tiny figures detailed to perfection in stone or wood. It was a great experience that I could share with my daughter who is studying architecture, she was also fascinated.

We arrived 30 minutes early as recommended, the entrance was quick and everything was well organized. We took a bus tour of the Vatican Gardens, but it was the museum that amazed us. There are several rooms, each more beautiful than the last. The Sistine Chapel surprised us with its simplicity, we were expecting something more monumental, but it doesn't disappoint at all. We left enchanted. Today we would have booked a guided tour, we booked without this option.

It was fantastic skipping a long lines of queues to enter Vatican City. The tour guide is rude to me when I let my young my son go to the bathroom and did not explain at all where we had to go when we got off the garden bus tour but she did not spoil our experience, it was great.

Although the entrance was scheduled for 9 a.m., we arrived at 8.15 a.m. (due to crowds) and were in the museum by 8.30 a.m.. No waiting at all, apart from that inherent in the museums themselves.
