    Disappointing.

    We did the supposed Fast track entry tickets...Whereby, on getting to the pick up point,I had to walk down this huge cobbled stairwell to this shop area, in 38"c, then stand about for half an hour, until the "guide" got his little flag, and ushered us out and up this stairwell again, and across a very hectic and busy street, to join hundreds in similar Q's,15/20 minutes late we were inside, and walking up these hug marble staircase, untill we reached the top, then the guide said to all, well goodbye enjoy, and walked off again with his little flag, very disappointing..

    An unforgettable experience, absolutely worth it!

    I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical before booking this tour. You hear so many mixed things about crowded tours and long lines, so I had my suspicions. But I am so incredibly glad we went ahead with it. From start to finish, the tour guide was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Managing a tour like this with kids can easily become stressful, but they made us feel completely looked after, ensuring everyone in the family was comfortable and engaged. Seeing the Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel with this guide turned what could have been a hectic day into a lifetime experience. If you are on the fence like I was, just book it. I honestly cannot recommend them enough!

    The visit itself was great. The whole time slot change and a second set of tickets was not appreciated.

    The signage for the “express” line to the Sistine Chapel and Vatican museums was misleading so it took us awhile to find someone to ask where we enter. Also confusing is that someone called me the day before our entry date saying our time had changed. They sent an updated ticket for two. Having two times and two sets of tickets was confusing but we wanted our original time slot. I had to show both tickets and explain what happens to two different people to enter.

    Rate of Zero, last minute cancellation

    I would give rate of Zero if I can. Late cancellation 5 minutes before the activity. The address is incorrect and cannot be found. Call them and said full booking and no ticket for us. Do not buy this. 避雷

    Don't even think about buying tickets through this agency!

    Please avoid if you do not want to lose your money! I have never received the tickets from this agency and I doubt if that agency even exist lol. I was in front of vatican museum with my mum on wheelchair and waited for the tickets but they did not show up. No sorry, no information,no message, nothing. They do not answer the calls/emails/message/whatsup and when I asked volunteers in vatican museum nobody know this agency. It is an obvious scam and I'm surprised that Viator has such an unverified agency in offer. I have made a claim but the viator can not really help. Its a shame, it was was my first and last purchase via Viator because they are not able to protect their customers from fraudulent agencies.

    What should I bring or wear?

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vatican City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    When is the best time to visit Vatican City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vatican City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
