Be Careful with Vatican Museum tickets

3.00I had booked Vatican museum tickets well in advance of my trip, I started to get worried a week before my trip as I had not heard from the vendor. I contacted Viator who assured me that the vendor typically reaches out to customers a day before. Okay, so the day before I am calling Viator who has no answers only to say they have emailed the vendor as the vendor has not answered the call. I call Viator again the night before, they say the vendor will send the tickets one hour before your Vatican ticket experience, needless to say my nerves were on edge. One hour before at 8am when the tour is supposed to start, I get an email from the vendor that they have cancelled my tour. I called Viator who had no answer as to why it was cancelled, they were able to get me tickets from another vendor for the same day but needless to say the price almost doubled!!!!!!!!!!!! After this experience I don't think I will use Viator again, it was truly disappointing.
These guys were awesome!...

5.00These guys were awesome! We were short a ticket, so our guide went early to get us another ticket. Made sure we got in the correct line, made it a smooth and easy experience among the stress of the crowds. We definitely recommend them.
Do not use this company!

1.00They called me the day before and told me to be there an hr. Earlier than when we suppose to go, I told them that we picked the time because we cannot go earlier, he was keep telling me to try and just come if we can a little sooner from our original time. We did and had to wait for the guide for 15 minutes than when we get to the gate he gave us a ticket that was for an hour earlier and they did not let us in. We wasted our money on the cab ride and couldn’t see the Vatican. He could if tell me on the phone not come because they dint have the ticket and refund my money so we wouldn’t wasted our time and money. Do not use them!
