Vatican - Easy to navigate. Tickets were ready on arrival. Short walk from ticket pickup to the Vatican. We enjoyed the 530 late option.

Skip the line positive - We came to ticket redemption point. They printed skip the line tickets for us. The tickets were for guided group tour but unfortunately it was in Spanish, so we continued by ourselves. Overall is good. At least skip the line worked.

We loved the skip the... - We loved the skip the line options. Highly recommended! We considered a guided tour but opted for a self guided tour. It was just as fine. Loved everything we saw and navigating without a guide worked. Getting to the location to check in was easy as well.

Okay - Viator messed up the booking. We amended the time slot from 11 am to 10 am, but the tour company couldn't process the change because ultimately Vatican doesn't allow such changes. Tour company Royal was honest about it though.

Skip the lines entry to Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel - Does not include St. Peter’s Basilica- you must purchase this in your own. I didn’t realize this when I booked.

The Vatican Museums are... - The Vatican Museums are spectacular and hold so many splendid works of art. However because of the large crowds of people you are rushed through some of the main exhibits, the Sistine Chapel being one. I would have liked to have spent more time admiring this masterpiece rather than being ushered through. That being said it is a must see when in Rome.

Great Museums-unreliable third party ticket agency - The museums and Sistine Chapel were amazing. Highly recommend. I only gave three stars because the third party operating the tour/tickets for us tried to move my reservation time earlier by a half hour. When I said no to this offer (they called 30 minutes before we would have had to be there, and there was no way we’d make it in time), I specifically asked that my pre-reserved time that I paid for was still valid, and they wouldn’t give me a yes or no answer u til I asked the third time. Then, when we got there, the tickets they printed out for me were for an hour later than my paid reservation AND were with an Italian speaking tour guide (we do not speak Italian). As I said, the actual museums were great, but the third party used by Viator here was unreliable and caused us to wait longer than we were supposed to (we bought skip the line tickets) and in the heat.

Misleading title - Be carful when they list stops of a tour and a length of time of a tour. Then they tell the you that you’ve only paid for entry and no guide on the tour.

Terrible seller - Absolute worst reseller I have experienced. They stranded me with my child and laughed in my face. I am shocked this seller meets Viator standards.
