Good treatment, fast reception service, entrance to the museum without queues, which is appreciated when it is unbearably hot in the street and the asphalt radiates heat. Good explanations throughout the process of access to the museum and holy tips for viewing the museum. Highly recommended. Inside the museum you can buy the audio guide for 3 € and there are lockers to leave the backpacks, there is also a fountain to refill the water for free and it comes out cold, so take a bottle from outside and fill it inside.

Vanessa saved the day! We could not find our meeting location and had tickets for various tours for our group of 5 due to tickets being sold out. She literally ran down the street once she found us and worked to get tickets from all of the tour companies so she could personally escort us to the Sistine Chapel. She was the sweetest thing - kind, patient and so knowledgable. She gave us tips and tricks and made our very hectic day in Rome salvagable and worth the chaos. Thank you Vanessa!

Thank you because we already had little time and with you we cleared the line which as always at the Vatican museums was very long and then with the heat it would have been exhausting. The guide was really very kind and knowledgeable. He accompanied us all the way to the entrance giving us many useful tips for the continuation of the visit. Great system the skip the line ...highly recommended. Good thing otherwise we would not have made it in time to get to the end and see the wonderful restored Sistine Chapel

    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.

    Very convenient meeting point and I was amazed by how fast we entered the Vatican! I don’t regret a single cent spent on this skip-the-line service — the regular queues looked like 4–5 hours long under the sun. Thanks to this, our visit went so much smoother and more enjoyable! Highly recommend!

    I saw some reviews that suggested that this was difficult but I found it easy. The meet up location was close to the Vatican and the guide was polite and organized. An easy entrance into the Vatican and then ... prepared to be wowed.

    We found our guide very easily, and he accompanied us to the entrance of the museum, with no waiting despite the impressive crowds that day. Excellent service!
  • Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

    Get skip-the-line access and priority entry as you bypass the long ticket lines and head straight inside the Vatican Museums. Your designated host will walk you to the museum’s entrance. Take your time to explore the museum and the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel house some of the most exquisite works of art ever created. The Vatican Museums, which comprise 54 galleries, are home to the largest and most important collections of Renaissance art. See the Pigna Courtyard, Pius Clementino Museum, Candelabra Gallery, Tapestries Gallery, Raphael's Rooms, and others. The 15th-century walls and ceilings of the Sistine Chapel have some of the most incredible frescoes. The paintings in the Sistine Chapel date back to the 16th century. See Michelangelo's famous fresco of the Last Judgment and the Creation of Adam. The Sistine Chapel is also still used for religious purposes, such as the Papal Conclave, the process by which a new Pope gets chosen.

    Castel Sant'Angelo

    Italy's Castel Sant'Angelo is known as the "Castle of the Holy Angel." The mausoleum for Roman Emperor Hadrian was built here in 185, and it later served as a military structure and a haven for Popes during the sieges of 1527. You will gain an in-depth understanding of Roman history and architecture by exploring the castle, which is now a museum. Access the chamber of ashes and the cells where many historical figures were imprisoned, divided over five floors and connected by a spiral ramp. Along with an extensive collection of antique weapons, see the beautifully decorated rooms that served as the papal residence as you make your way up to the castle. Check out the top-floor terrace for stunning, panoramic views of Rome.
