The whole experience of booking online for priority access worked beautifully. One still has to queue a little for a security check (which I would never complain about in view of ...). The instructions given to find the office (meeting point) were extremely easy and, in fact, we have discovered that taxi drivers are well used to these "meeting points" for the various attractions. In this case, the meeting point was directly opposite the Vatican itself. As for the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, what can I say that hasn't already been said. It's awe inspiring and, whilst I am neither a Roman Catholic, nor very religious, I have a healthy respect for the Papal Office and meaning of the Vatican as an institution - together with the way Rome and the Church shaped the future. Clearly an experience not to be missed!

We got the skip the line passes only, we did not get the guided tour. And whilst it did exactly what it says we skipped the main line it's not a complete skip as we ended up in a queue for about half an hour with all the other "skip the line" groups. The team were a little dismissive of the "skip" group to be honest and spent more time rounding up the guided tours. Part of the ticket stated hosted entry to the Vatican, however we weren't even walked to the Vatican with a host, they walked us to the traffic lights outside their building and told us just to walk up ourselves. What part of that is hosted?? It was then on members of our group to navigate a city we didn't know to find a queue we had little information on. We ended up being a little lost until other people guided our team to the back of the queue. Like I said, the ticket done what it was supposed to, but it cannot claim to be hosted entry when it isn't. For that reason I think it's a bit much to charge.

I absolutely understand the amount of people that want to visit the Vatican and the difficulty on controlling the number of visitors as the time inside the venue could last from 1h to the whole day. However, the Sistine Chapen experience could be booked in slots or organised differently so everyone can enjoy it. At the same time it would be great to extend the "No Photos" to the whole venue as it was complicated to enjoy admiring something without someone rushing us so they could take some pictures or directly pushing you out. On the other hand, the venue is as impressive and beautiful as I remembered it.

The museum visit was great - the fact that this sign charged almost $50 a ticket just to get in - no guide, no audio - was a scam . . .
