We avoided a long queue to get in, but it's 25€ per person. I don't know exactly what the prices are on the official website and how much of a queue you actually avoid.

It was a simple quick process. We met the guide exactly at where we instructed to meet her which was very easy. We were then guided into the Vatican museum and were able to take it free and easy at our own pace. Truly recommended.

I really enjoyed the experience. The whole visit was orderly and easy to see all the rooms. What we did not find clear were the indications to find the access door to the museums.

From the moment we checked in with Touristation Vaticano to the completion of our tour with Ferdinando, the entire experience was exceptional. This was by far the best investment we made during our time in Rome. I truly recommend Touristation Vaticano and the VIP guide Ferdinando to anyone visiting the city.

Maurizio was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge about every piece of art was sensational. 100% would do this tour again! Very seamless pickup at meeting location and walking us into Vatican City, guiding us through security. Only feedback is not on tour guide but the headsets used. The system is a bit finicky. The headphones are a bit uncomfortable. I'd say the vox or similar wired headphone systems are superior.
