This is literally to skip the line, it doesn't include entrance to the basilica, that's a separate experience, but, is worth paying the extra to get you inside quickly. Once inside you're at your own pace.

Delivered On time/Same day skip the line tickets

Disgusting

Melissa_R, Apr 2026

Very disappointed with this tour. We booked a tour with a guide and all he did was rush us into the museum and say go up the stairs. There were several people that also thought they had booked a guided tour. The app he told us to download didn’t work. The only guided part was dumping us in the Musem and leaving us. We then had to buy audio to use and figure out our own way around. I was with my 82yr old mum.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed. We would like to clarify that the option you selected was a hosted skip-the-line service without a guide, which means our staff assists guests and accompanies them up to the entrance point only. The experience does not include a guided visit inside the venue. Our host is there to ensure smooth access and help with logistics, but not to provide a tour. We understand that expectations may have differed and appreciate your feedback, which helps us improve our communication and service descriptions. Kind regards, Inside Out Italy

Finding our way to the lifts was a challenge. Would like to have been better prepared for the experience.

Inside was amazing but busy

andrea_p, Apr 2024

Very very busy and we barely got vip access. Had to meet at a place to collect tickets and then 10 minutes before we were chauffeured to the door where we joined a big queue!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello Andrea, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with our VIP access service. We strive to provide seamless experiences for our customers, and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short of your expectations in this instance. We will review our procedures to ensure that our VIP access service is delivered effectively and efficiently in the future. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. If there is anything further we can do to address your concerns or if you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don't hesitate to contact us directly. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, City Rome Tours

Utan guide är det svårt

Johan_s, Oct 2024

Man fick hjälp att komma in vilket sparade lite tid. Museet är oerhört stort och drt blir nästan svårt att ta till sig om man inte bokat en guide vilket vi inte hade gjort. Sixtinska kapellet är trångt och man jagas nästan igenom det men är ju fantastiskt vackert.
