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.

The Leonardo Express was a great way to get to the centre of Rome from Fiunicino airport. I was a little concerned about having to specify exactly what time train we would catch as its difficult to gauge how long it will take to get through passport control and baggage reclaim. Fortunatley the e-ticket booking system allows you to change the time so long as you do it before your booked service has departed. I made use of this feature to catch an earlier train than originally booked. You can buy your ticket on the day at the train station but there were crowds at the ticket machines. I'd use this service again when travelling to Rome.

    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.
