行列スキップ：バチカン美術館

We decided we wanted to do the tour at our own pace. The skip the line ticket was just right. I only wish we had received a map so we knew what we were looking at

The meeting place for this visit is slightly confusing to find. We saw the promised blue jackets of the tour operators but it was the wrong place. Not a problem, the charming guide telephoned to the leader of our tour and arranged that he would pick us up as we were closer to the Museum anyway. He sluiced us through in no time, and by 8.10 we were in the Sistine Chapel along with just a handful of others. We had plenty of time to admire the frescoes in almost privacy. We then went along for a much needed coffee - we had had to skip breakfast in order to be on time. Same experience there, we were the only people in the cafe, but when we left, the queue for self-service was very long. Then to the painting galleries where the crowds were bigger but bearable (it seems groups don't do the pinacoteca). Then to the sculpture galleries which were so full that it was extremely difficult and we left fairly quickly. Go early, or do one of the wonderful evening visits (summer only and this was November)

We had to que , the tour guard didn't seem to know what she was doing. Said it was her first doing the Vatican, I had a small baby in a push chair she didn't tell us where to keep it. The whole thing was very disappointing, I wouldn't book with you again or recommend to my friends and family.

This was not the best experience. Out reservation had not been recorded despite having to emails proving we had paid. Staff sorted this out quickly as thankfully I had copied of the voucher with me. However communication from the team was poor. It took over an hour to enter the Vatican Museums and little was said to us as we waited - it felt like being corralled by cattle. Of particular concern was the children in our party were taken away to get their tickets separately from the adults. There was no warning of this and caused understandable concern amongst the parents present. Better communication would have made this a much better experience.

A must if you are visiting!!! Skip the Line was an excellent choice and well worth the little bit it cost. The Vatican Museum is a must when in Rome!!

I showed up on time and was directed to the wrong area. By the time I figured it out I was two minutes late and they wouldn’t let me in. I had to buy a new ticket. I couldn’t call Viator as I’m in a foreign country so I’m hoping I can resolve this when I get back. My advice: buy your ticket through the official vatican site and show up as early in the day as possible.

The lines for the Vatican were horrific. Our tour company was great.....we quickly entered the Vatican and and received our tickets. We then were on our own to Tour. Highly recommend this tour!!!

This is the way to go to the Vatican. The Vatican is fantastic, but navigating on your own could be very daunting.

We saw so much! Oscar was our guide. He was fun, easy to understand and extremely knowledgeable. A great day!

Patrick was a very professional and knowledgeable tour guide. Love him and we wish we can spend more time with him.
