10/10 experience, worth the money

Lily_T, Mar 2026

We booked our tickets to the Vatican Museum last minute using Viator. You get your tickets from Xplore Rome, just outside the Vatican. Our guide was amazing and very helpful. We skipped the main line and managed to get straight through, we then also skipped the security line and also the ticket line inside. In all it took us five minutes to get from the outside of the Vatican to the inside of the museum. The tour operator took us through the whole system and even told us where to go once we were inside. It was absolutely worth the money and could not recommend them enough.

An unforgettable experience

Taryn_D, Jan 2026

Vatican City was crowded but absolutely worth it—the skip the line ticket saved the day and what charming tour guide Nasim was. Stunning art, rich history, and the Sistine Chapel was unforgettable. A must-see in Rome.

Vatican City without traffic jam - recommended

Easy to find location (close to the entrance of the Musei Vaticani) to exchange voucher for tickets, friendly welcome, clear explanation. In short: highly recommended!
