The experience at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel was really out of this world. The skip the line entry was arranged professionally by Headout and was seemless managed. Precise instructions were given to all, of the various stages of security and how to go about once inside the museum and what it holds. The guides are very well versed and have extensive knowledge of the history of the museum the significance of all the articles exhibited there and give clear guidance during the guided tour. The Vatican Museum is spread out across multiple floors and occupies a lot of space. It has huge collection of countless ancient artefacts. Holy relics, paintings, rugs painted beautifully, many religious items, regliega and all kinds of very old items of the Roman era. All these are very well preserved, well secured and meticulously maintained and well secured. The Sistine Chapel is a part of the Vatican Museum and was painstakingly painted primarily by Michelangelo Buonarroti who created its famous ceiling and the altar wall fresco. It is a awesome feeling to be within this sacred chapel and a very inspiring experience. Definitely recommend to avail the professional and reasonably priced services of a very efficient and well managed organisation, Headout for the guided tours at the Vatican Museum,Sistine Chapel and the Bascillica at St Peter’s Square.

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.

This was a great option for skip-the-line fast entry to avoid the crowded Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel lines. I can easily say it was the best money I've ever spent. With the QR code for quick ticketing and an escort from the tourist office staff all the way to the final gate, we found ourselves directly inside the museum. We saved an estimated 2 to 3 hours of time and energy. I highly recommend it.

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.

My experience with Headout was very easy, fast, and secure. Outside the museum, there is a tour guide office where you present your Headout ticket. They explain everything to you right away and then take you to the skip-the-line entrance accompanied by the guide, who leaves you right inside the museum so you can explore at your own pace.

The escorted entry was really worth the money and we were very glad we didn't have to stand in the normal line. The operator can't help the fact that you are practically shuffled through the museum 🤣, but it's also quite an experience and it was definitely impressive in any case.

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.
