It was great to skip the line, but a bit too pricey. You might be better off with a guided tour. This way you can learn a bit more.

Dear fellow travelers, We booked through Viator for the Sistine Chapel last week. Be aware that Viator is a third party travel arranger. We were informed 24 hrs in advance that our tour could not be honored. We went to the meeting place anyhow and met with a very professional agent that informed us that recent changes at the Vatican affected ticket distribution. Of course that wasn’t good for us. Long story short between the provider of tickets and Viator rectified the situation and even though it was stressful and difficult, Viator did in fact credit our account the difference between our original charge and the actual ticket price to enter the chapel. I have to give credit to Viator for doing the right thing as they gave me an acceptable credit and took responsibility for the problem. While it took some effort I have to give them credit as they really did not have control over recent changes at the Vatican (new pope etc) I would use this service again.

Preys on Näive Tourists

We booked this tour because so many sites said the Vatican tours would sell out and “when in Rome” one MUST see the Sistene chapel! What they don’t tell you is they will surge the prices with the high demand and prey upon desperate last-minute tourists’ näivete. The Vatican does not place a cap on visitors per day, so if you’re willing to stand in long queues in the near to save money, DO IT! The tour company delayed our tour by an hour (4:20-5:30) and we didn’t realize until check in. So we spent another hour waiting in the cafe next door. They gave us a hand written “skip the line” sicker and a printed ticket. The workers were friendly but clearly didn’t know how their company worked, a young girl was in training and appeared quite confused. All they did was escort us to the front of the queue for check-in the the Vatican museum, we should have saved our money and just waited and purchased tickets directly at the site. Yea, it was busy due to numerous events in Rome that weekend. It just felt like we were taken advantage of. $250 for two adults and a student to see the Vatican and Sistine Chapel is quite expensive and we would have preferred to support more local enterprises.
