Lack of accurate ticket information

karen_f, Oct 2025

We booked for 1030 in the morning but when receiving our tickets the time on them was 11am. I queried this and was told it was due to something happening at the Vatican and that we could go along for 1040 and gain access. None of that information was accurate. There was plenty people gaining access at the time we originally booked, and you cannot get in before your ticket time as they take people in according to half and hour time slots. The staff didn’t tell us to line up in a particular place so when we headed back to where we were supposed to get in we ended up being at the end of a huge queue, so not skip the line tickets at all. This meant we didn’t actually get to start our experience until 11.15/20 which was 45 minutes after the time I had booked for, this was a day we were travelling home so our plans were very tightly scheduled. Inside will be up to you how much you enjoy it. I enjoyed seeing the grounds and beautiful gardens but a lot of the museums were over my head. The Sistine chapel itself is stunning but the journey to get there is long. Again you’re twisting through many museums and rooms with paintings, great if you have a high interest in art/history. I feel like it is a one and done type of thing. Great to have seen it but I won’t be doing it again.

The tour guide will not...

Rebecca_T, Oct 2025

The tour guide will not meet you at the meeting point, or reply to messages on the platform you need to message on WhatsApp, and do so in advance as our tickets were earlier than the time we selected. Otherwise all fine, and easy to follow the instructions.

Buy directly from Vatican

Travis_N, Sep 2025

Information for our tour said to meet the sales person/guide at the McDonalds near the Vatican at 3pm. The guide never showed. I called and he said the tickets were emailed to me The tickets were emailed but the time reserved was for 2:30. We did not arrive at the entrance until 3:15. The Staff finally let us in but it took some persuading. If you plan on self guided tour buy your tickets directly from Vatican and get them early. Don’t use this person as it is a rip off.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dead Traveller, thanks for your comment. you need to arrive atleast 15 minutes earlier on the spot. But you came at exect time when our employee went inside Vatican with other tourists. Second we clear on the booking that we will send tickets earlier on whatsapp/email. we send you email because you did not have whatsapp. we send you tickets 3 hours earlier but you did not checked your email. Third we cleared that 2:30pm tickets are same as 3:00 pm. Both works same.

Family x Europe

Booking and support...

Katja_S, Nov 2025

Booking and support (via WhatsApp) were great. Our window was brought forward at short notice, which suited us. Communication with the guide was good, prompt and extensive response. For all those who go to Maps to the entrance - not go the way inside the wall, but around the outside. We were wrong at first at the queue to St. Peter's Basilica. But thanks to the guide we found everything.
