I've been to the Vatican Museums before, and both times have really been a great experience. The first time I had a 4:30pm booking on a weekday and the crowds were very little. There was still a line outside the museums we had to wait in, and another line inside to scan our passes. This time we booked with Headout for 8:30am on a tuesday morning. It felt much easier as we were escorted as a group through the lines by simply scanning our tickets. It was also not too crowded during that time! We personally wanted to have an entire morning and Headout had tickets left (The Vatican website did not) for those times. It was nice because we were not rushing at all. Definitely avoid the lunch hours to beat the crowds! Also they have a cafe/food area--lifesaver!

There was a blip meeting up with the host ,as we thought that it was a group thing and nobody was at the meeting place. The host text us when we'd made our way up to the entrance to the museum. We could not use the bar code on the confirmation as this is NOT a ticket. Apparently we were to ring the bell at the address but there was no indication to do that on our confirmation letter and the door where the address was, was for several.properties. It would be helpful if this was noted. Nevertheless our host found us and was really helpful at getting us straight on past the crowds. We were in there hours, lots to see and amazing collection. The Sistine Chapel was beautiful and steeped in the history of past conclaves.

Absolutely worth every penny. We visited on a rainy, extremely crowded day, and the difference between having skip-the-line tickets and not having them was dramatic. Lines for general entry were long, slow, and exposed to the rain, while we were able to enter smoothly and efficiently with minimal waiting. Traveling as a family, this saved us a huge amount of time and stress and allowed us to actually enjoy the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel instead of standing outside for hours. Even in bad weather and peak crowds, everything was well organized and the experience inside was unforgettable. I would 100% recommend skip-the-line tickets—especially during busy seasons or poor weather.

    My experience with Headout was truly special! It all started with a quick and easy booking on the website: clear, intuitive, and with lots of options available. But what made the visit unique was the impeccable organization: no waiting, easy access, and above all, knowledgeable and engaging guides. I chose a cultural tour and, thanks to Headout, I discovered interesting facts and details that I would never have noticed on my own. Punctuality, friendliness, and professionalism made all the difference. I will definitely use them again for my next experiences!

    The guide was spectacular. She spoke 6 different languages ( she's from Algeria?) and told me some tips how to enjoy more the tour. The app downloaded before the trip was so helpful too. The price is also affordable. Glad that I bought it since I was able to skip the line. Otherwise it's gonna be 2 hours waiting in the line which something I couldnt affors. I was bunmed that I didn't get to see Sistince chapel since it was closed for the day for renovation but overall 9/10 experience for me. Highly recommended

    Here's a professional reviewer. This is my third visit to the Vatican, and I'm really delighted. There were hardly any lines, the staff was super friendly, and everything was much better organized than I remembered. If I could add anything, it would be a couple more signs to guide people when leaving the museum, which would be great. Also, the prices weren't too bad in the cafeteria. I highly recommend a visit, but I did go during the off-season.

    The Vatican Museum is a phenomenal treasure trove of history and art from many countries around the world, collected over many centuries. Meticulously collected and sometimes acquired, these works of art have adorned the chambers of many popes. Over time, the decision was made to open them to the general public, and they remain so to this day. I highly recommend it! This extraordinary treasure trove is truly worth visiting.
