Was not sure on directions to find the ticket pick up point at crown tours. Might have helped find it if we had that name not just an address although my phone was playing up so no goole maps and our tour had been put back 30 minutes & i didnt get the message. Not to worry staff were helpful and escorted our group to the skip the line queue which takes around 15 minutes from the office to the entrance. I found the initial part on the visit great but didn't realise you had to go through so many museums and rooms before the sistine Chapel. This was unfortunate as we were all tired by the time we got to the big moment. We were herded like cattle into the Chapel where people were talking, children running around and people taking photos. It was spoiled by this with guards telling people off, quite rightly. So crowded we did not have chance to stay and observe, shame. If your not good with digital stuff get someone to help with app and ticket info and get a street map to ease your journey.

Je trouve juste abusé de devoir passer par un tour operator pour pouvoir rentrer sans attendre pendant 5h. Le prix du billet s'en trouve augmenté..... Le prix de l'audio guide est aussi abusé

Ich bin glücklich, bei diesem Büro meine Eintrittskarte gebucht zu haben. Die minimalen zusätzlichen Kosten f[r mich standen in keinem Vergleich: Wir haben im Nu die Warteschlangen überholt und hinter uns gelassen. Immer wieder gerne, vielen Dank nochmal an die Organisatoren!

Super easy to meet up with the guide and get our skip the line tickets!! The Vatican museum was massive and absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad we booked through this to be able to get in faster.

Head straight into the Vatican Museums

Once you meet your host at the designated meeting point, you will take a short walk to the entrance to the Vatican Museums. Upon entering, you will be free to roam the Museum and Sistine Chapel at your own pace. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel boast the finest artwork ever to be made. Made up of 54 galleries, the Vatican Museums house one of the largest, and also the most important, collections of Renaissance art in the world. Built in the 15th century, the Sistine Chapel's walls and ceilings are covered in some of the most astounding frescoes ever produced.

Marvel Michaelangelo's Final Judgement

The 54th gallery of the Vatican Museums is the famed Sistine Chapel. Originally built in the 15th Century, the paintings by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel were painted in the 16th century. View many of the most famous frescoes in the world, including the famous ceiling and Final Judgement painted by Michelangelo. Not only does the Sistine Chapel hold some of the world's most precious works of art, but it is also still used for religious purposes such as the Papal Conclave - the process through which a new Pope is chosen.
