The guide was really supportive in accessing the museums. Kind, friendly, friendly and professional, available for any questions even in pre-visit to know the rules of access. The Museums are indescribable except to say that they are a totally unreplicable thing in this day and age. We were inside three and a half hours. Unforgettable experience. Wonderful.

The museums are really worth your time: astonishing, culturally interesting and so many works of art that you don't get to see anywhere else like this. Is skip the line worth it: maybe. It depends on if you want to wait a while longer (1 or 2h) to save approximately 30€/ticket. For us travelling in August and on our honeymoon the skip the line was totally worth it.

It is like entering into another world filled with magnificent art, history, and immersing culture. Skip-the-line tickets made the whole experience stress-free and convenient. The Vatican Museums are absolutely stunning, and seeing the Sistine Chapel with my own eyes was beyond words—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be remembered and celebrated. Lastly, what made the whole experience so memorable and special is meeting different people from different backgrounds around the world.

I loved being able to not have to wait in the lines due to the skip the line we bought, I also loved being able to explore the Vatican on our own
