The crowds at the Vatican weren't too bad as we chose to start our visit at 4 pm or so. After about 2 hours, we were ready for a break and a snack. I was disappointed to find no tables with chairs at them; it was standing room only. It's not much of a break if you have to stand through it! Upon leaving the Vatican, we were approached by a taxi driver who asked if we wanted to engage him. We said yes and got in his taxi. To make a long story short, he overcharged us for the ride and, after I had given him a €50 note, he said I had only given him a €10. I was sure I had given him €50 to pay the €48 we owed. He said no, I had only given him a €10. Feeling rushed, flustered and tired after our time at the Vatican, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, only to later discover I had given him €50 and then another €20 and 3 - €10 Euro notes. Plus, I tipped him €5 Euros!! So in the end I had given him €105 Euros for an inflated taxi ride of €48. I felt like such an idiot, but in reality I had been intentionally scammed by a taxi driver, who targets patrons leaving the Vatican. Needless to say, this event left a very sour taste in my mouth regarding my Vatican visit.

We had an amazing fast-track experience in Rome with Headout while visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Pantheon. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and having guides help us through the entrances made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We skipped the massive queues and got inside surprisingly fast, which gave us much more time to actually enjoy the places instead of waiting outside for hours. Inside the Vatican Museums, we explored incredible galleries filled with sculptures, paintings, and centuries of history before reaching the Sistine Chapel. Seeing Michelangelo’s famous ceiling in person was honestly breathtaking and completely different from seeing it in pictures. The atmosphere inside the chapel felt surreal and unforgettable. We also visited the Pantheon, which was another huge highlight of the day. The architecture, the enormous dome, and the history behind the building were genuinely impressive. Overall, the experience felt very premium, comfortable, and memorable, and the fast-track access with Headout made exploring these iconic places in Rome so much easier and more enjoyable.

Eerst werden we weggestuurd omdat de tijd verschoven was en om 12.00 moesten we twee keer vragen, maar daarna in 2 minuten binnen, alleen wordt er niet verteld dat je door een volstrekt oninteressant stuk van het Vaticaan museum wordt gevoerd!!! ANDERHALF UUR, daarna mag je 5 minuten door de sixtijnse kapel lopen ( die zo vol is dat je je als een haring in een ton voelt) we konden een zitplaats vinden en op ons gemak omhoog kijken, we waren diep onder de indruk.

Tout c'est bien déroulé. Juste un reproche, la personne qui accueille au point de rv, semble assez pressée, elle parle très vite en anglais pour donner les explications. Pour les personnes qui ne comprennent pas parfaitement l'anglais, c'est difficile de comprendre. Elle ne s'est pas assurée que tout le monde avait compris. On était plusieurs groupes à n'avoir pas compris grand chose. Pour se rendre sur le site et a l'entrée, elle marche trop rapidement.

Truly was skip the line! Well worth the money. The ticket pickup place may seem shady but the staff was super nice, spoke good English. Make sure to listen to your temporary guide that walks you to the gates and gets you through security. They walk at a brisk pace about 2 blocks to get you in but can be crowded. Overall they got me there and in quickly!

El punto de encuentro es fácil de identificar, el personal al llegar es sumaramable y lo que más me gustó es que entramos rapidísimo a los museos del Vaticano. Sin duda volvería a comprar con headout.

Die Vatikanischen Museen ein High-Light bei meinem diesjährigem Italienurlaub. An der historischen Stätte des Vatikan, diese umfangreiche Sammlung zu erkunden ist sehr interessant, so zb. Originale von Van Gogh, Chagall, Gaugin, Picasso, oder dem großen Maler Raffael, die Fresken Michelangelos. Dies reiht sich alles in eine einzigartige Sammlung ein, die wunderbare Skulpturen der Antike zeigt. Ein Streifzug, durch die gesamte alte Welt mit wertvollen Ausstellungsstücken.. Da ist das original unterschriebene Trikot von Maradonna und Pele das Formel 1 Lenkrad von Schumi, die Staatskarossen der Päpste und Ihre Papa-Mobile. Auch kann man im Inneren im gepflegten Freirestaurant gemütlich Kaffee trinken einen Snack nehmen. Es war anstrengend, da ich aber keinen Zeitdruck hatte, sehr schön. Überall gibt es Bänke und Plätze Pause zu machen. Das High-Light, natürlich die Sixtinische Kapelle, der Ort der geheimen Papstwahl des Konklave, mit der wundervollen Malerei Michelangelos. Ich hatte mir vorher bei "headout" eine Eintrittskarte besorgt, der Eintritt und die Betreuung waren super, es sparte viel Zeit, da wir ohnesonst üblich lange Wartezeit sofort Einlass bekamen. Im Museeum giebt es einen Audio Guide für 8 EUR, der erklärt alle Sehenswürdigkeiten einfach aber intersessant. Viele Räume sind klimatisiert, von der Vatikanischen Post kann man direkt Grüße an seine Liebsten schreiben. Für mich ein einzigartig tolles Erlebnis, inclusive des Super Veranstalters "headout" kann ich wärmstens empfehlen. Liebe Grüße Micha

Es hat alles geklappt mit den schnellen Eintritten - das ist bei der Menge an Touristen und Warteschlangen "Gold wert ", wie man so schön sagt. Gefühlt habe ich dafür auch "Gold" bezahlt... Ich war bissl spät dran, und bei anderen Anbieter gab es meine Zeitfenster für die Woche Urlaub nicht mehr. Hier habe ich noch alles bekommen, und wie gesagt, es hat alles geklappt/funktioniert - aber es war ja "nur" Eintritt (ich weiß, das ist Luxus an diesen Hotspots), keine Führung, kein Guide, im Kolosseum ein Audioguide zum runterladen mit ein paar Infos.... für luxioröse 239€... Es sind 4 Sterne, weil, wie gesagt, alles reibungslos geklappt hat (und ich die Sterne nicht mehr ändern konnte), aber es war echt etwas zu teuer, aber ich bin ja selber schuld, wenn ich das zahle... 😉

Access 2 of Rome's treasures: the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum, with a single ticket!

Vatican Museums

At the Vatican Museums, and explore a whole world of art for as long as you like. Admire classical sculptures, tapestries, and paintings by Renaissance greats like Raphael, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Leonardo da Vinci. There's an entire section devoted to Modern Religious Art, where you'll find pieces by van Gogh, Dalí, and Picasso. Must-visit sections of the Vatican Museums include the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, the Sala Rotunda and the Gallery of Statues, and the Hall of Busts.

Of course, one cannot visit the Vatican Museums without seeing the iconic Sistine Chapel. Located at the end of the Vatican Museums and neighboring St. Peter's Basilica, this 15th-century chapel's walls and ceilings are covered by some of the most astounding frescoes ever produced. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo in a span of 4 years, is 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.

Colosseum

The Colosseum is believed to have been built as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people. This majestic outdoor amphitheater was once the epicenter for entertainment, hosting public spectacles and games. Quite a bloody past. It was, after all, a stage for gladiator fights, often including animals. This is your chance to step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

You also get entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. See popular sites such as the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more. Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, it is now an extensive archaeological site.

The audio guide, narrated by local experts, offers an interactive map of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. As you walk around, tap the area you are exploring and listen to brief commentary dedicated to that spot. Tip: Bring along your earphones for the best audio experience.
