5.00We had a great time, this ticket gets you to the front of the line and the person you meet gives you a rundown of exactly what you need to do to get in and not get scammed. We did not download the app and just went around on our own and it was fantastic, thanks!

2.00Ticket to get in worked fine. The audio guide was absolutely useless. We should have purchased the audio tour inside the Vatican.
Convenient

5.00Very easy to find the group. Definitely worthwhile in terms of not having to stand on long lines. The Audio guide was also useful. Made the visit seem less

4.00Breakfast was not really worth it. Skip the line was good still had to wait for security no real instructions once you got inside except ask a guard. About 3 of us groups hung close together as none of us could figure it out really. Very confusing. Not tour group problem but disappointing the Pope closed the Sistine chapel for the day due to the Royal Family visit. People save their whole lives and then to be told morning of it was closed was disappointing.

4.00Very smooth from booking to entry. Host was easy to find and register. Entry to the museums was seamless. Audio guide was helpful if a little sparse.
Overcrowded

2.00The crowds were overwhelming, it spoilt the whole experience unfortunately. The audio commentary were good , but I could only listen to properly once I’d exited the Vatican from the comparatively quieter cafe
Easey Entry

Research Fail on me

3.00I should have done more research, I thought the Basilica was more accessible through this tour. You did skip the line which was nice for the Museum. Basically they walk you across the street and put you in a priority line up for entry into the Vatican museum. The guide leaves you and you are on your own. You can download the app on your phone, but it isn’t any good. You are better to rent the audio from the museum itself.
