We joined a small group and were guided directly into the Vatican Museums. After security and ticket scanning, the whole process took about 15 minutes, which was impressive considering the huge lines at 11:00 AM — we skipped them all. The museum itself is massive, more like a labyrinth of halls and galleries, with an incredible amount of people everywhere. The Sistine Chapel was almost overwhelming — we could only take a quick look, as the crowd was constantly being moved along by the staff. Personally, I don’t dive too deeply into art, so a brief look was enough for me, but for those who want to truly immerse themselves, the heavy flow of visitors can make it very difficult. We visited at the end of September, and overall the skip-the-line service was absolutely worth it.

The Vatican Museums were awesome, I loved it! But the experience was its Headout was awful. We arrived there early and they said to us to come with 15 minutes before the time of the tickets. When we got there at 11:10(we had the entry time at 11:30) they said to us that they don't have the tickets, because we only made an reservation, maybe "if we are lucky" the can make us a "favour" and get us tickets for 13:30. I was very upset and tried to talk with them and after 10 minutes they gave us tickets for 13:30. We booked ticket for 11:30. But all the people waiting there was in the same situation. I will not buy again from them anything. We got inside at 13:30 but after I argued with them.

We ended up getting a free bus tour and seeing the gardens, which were magnificent, and touring all of the museums and visiting the Sistine Chapel (it was a LOT of walking, but totally worth it!) We were a bit confused at first about the ticket redemption since it was a bit further from the entrance, but as soon as the guide arrived everything went smoothly and without any problems whatsoever🙌❤️ The surrounding area also had a number of great restaurants, one of which we stopped at to eat after our experience! The food was great and service was good.

I loved the prompt service and professionalism from the company. They gave us a private escort literally passing through the crowds. I was very impressed. Thank you for making our morning go so smoothly! The museum was AMAZING and I'm so thankful for the time we had to see everything! I heard one representative say that truly if you spent 30 seconds at each individual exhibit or display that you'd take 4 years to get through the entire museum! Enjoy your time in the Vatican City! It's Lovely!

The ease in purchasing tickets from this site was top-notch. Easy location to meet up with the employee responsible for getting you through the gates without waiting. Price was a little more than the normal ticket, but do you really want to spend 3 to 4 hours waiting in line for entrance. This is definitely the way to go, and I would recommend this site to purchase your tickets.

The Vatican Museums are one of the most beautiful art places in the world. They collect masterpieces from every era, from ancient statues to paintings by great artists such as Raphael and Michelangelo. The most exciting part is the Sistine Chapel, with its famous ceiling frescoed by Michelangelo. Visiting the Vatican Museums is an unforgettable experience that combines art, history and beauty.

When in Rome, bask in the splendor of Renaissance greats. Avoid the winding queues and get priority entry to two of the most iconic museums in the world: The Vatican Museums as well as the Borghese Gallery and Museum!

The Vatican Museums

Travel back in time and experience art and religious history with skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Vatican Museums. Explore at your own pace the Greek Cross Gallery, where you can spot intricately carved sarcophagi, browse through the Cabinet of the Masks, or see the Sala degli Animali - a virtual menagerie of fantastic beasts, real and imagined. Don't miss out on seeing the Gallery of Maps, to discover how cartographers depicted the world through the ages. While you're at it, treat your eyes to stunning masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms. Then, it’s time to admire Michelangelo’s beautiful Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and considered to be a cornerstone of western art. The Last Judgement covers the wall behind the altar and is probably the most famous single work of art in the Sistine Chapel. Please note: Entry to the museums is by obligatory online booking.

Borghese Gallery and Museum

One of the most exhausting aspects of exploring a new place as a tourist is undoubtedly the queues. Fortunately, with these skip-the-line tickets, you get to avoid all that bustle and stroll around at your own pace. The Borghese Gallery is located in what used to be the Villa Borghese Pinciana. The building of the gallery was added in with the gardens around it at first. The gardens, however, have become a separate attraction for tourists by themselves. With fountains, gardens, pink marble walls, and frescoed ceilings, the Borghese Gallery and Museum is a fitting place to house some of the world's greatest artworks. Find here everything from sculptures by Bernini and Canova, to paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian amongst others.
