The experience at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel was really out of this world. The skip the line entry was arranged professionally by Headout and was seemless managed. Precise instructions were given to all, of the various stages of security and how to go about once inside the museum and what it holds. The guides are very well versed and have extensive knowledge of the history of the museum the significance of all the articles exhibited there and give clear guidance during the guided tour. The Vatican Museum is spread out across multiple floors and occupies a lot of space. It has huge collection of countless ancient artefacts. Holy relics, paintings, rugs painted beautifully, many religious items, regliega and all kinds of very old items of the Roman era. All these are very well preserved, well secured and meticulously maintained and well secured. The Sistine Chapel is a part of the Vatican Museum and was painstakingly painted primarily by Michelangelo Buonarroti who created its famous ceiling and the altar wall fresco. It is a awesome feeling to be within this sacred chapel and a very inspiring experience. Definitely recommend to avail the professional and reasonably priced services of a very efficient and well managed organisation, Headout for the guided tours at the Vatican Museum,Sistine Chapel and the Bascillica at St Peter’s Square.

We had already tried the day before to get into the Vatican Museums without a reserved ticket, but we gave up after a while because the line was too long and the heat was unbearable. On the Vatican Museums’ official website, after several attempts, we were unable to make a reservation. While browsing the web, we came across Headout and were able to book for the next day with great ease. The hostess accompanied us to the museum entrance, providing us with the most important information for entry. We’re so glad we were able to visit the Museums—it was truly worth it—and throughout the tour, we kept telling ourselves that without Headout, we never would have made it. I highly recommend this agency.

We booked skip-the-line tickets for the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel with Headout. It's true that the price is significantly higher, but it was worth it: we saved at least 3 hours of waiting in line! Everything went very well, the organization was efficient, and our experience was very positive. Just keep in mind that the meeting point is 10 minutes away from the entrance. I highly recommend this experience: the time saved is definitely worth it. Excellent service right up until we received our tickets. The staff member was very professional. 👌🎉

The meeting point is located across the road, slightly above the museum entrance. Inside, the staff give stickers with the entry time written on them to those whose slot is approaching, and then you wait. In the waiting area, you join the queue from the right side, but it moves very quickly. You pass through the first security check in 3-4 minutes. The guide takes you through all checkpoints without waiting, right to the museum entrance, and lets you inside. After that, it's up to you. It's a huge museum; I probably missed some parts of it. Thanks to the Headout team.

The negative reviews online are not what we experienced at all. We met our fast track skip the queue guided entry guide to the Vatican outside of a cafe a few minutes away from the museum. They even called us 20 mins prior to ensure we knew where we were going to find them. Entry was swift and very fast - we skipped all queues and were in within minutes. He left us at the gate and walked away once he knew we got inside fine. Fantastic service.

The guide was very attentive and explained everything to us before leaving us at the entrance. We started with the Gregorian Museum, walking slowly and taking everything in. When we realized how much time had passed, we told ourselves we had to hurry because we wouldn't manage to see it all... We spent 7 hours there and still didn't get to see everything!! It's worth going back 2 or 3 times...

Skipping the regular queue with our ticket was an absolute lifesaver. We saw hundreds of people waiting outside in the heat, and walking straight in through the dedicated entrance was such a relief. We got into the museums in just a few minutes, which left us more time to fully enjoy the amazing art and the Sistine Chapel.

Everything was super well-organized and we were completely inside the museums within 10 minutes. The guide took us all the way to the final security check. Top-notch. We weren't entirely sure where we were supposed to be at the booked time, so we asked at the office beforehand. There was a nice lady there to help us as well.

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 an escorted entry, 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.
