Recommended Vatican City Tour
Joliena_H
The tour was accurate of what the event advertised. You start at the meeting point which was a small café were they give you a free breakfast, a juice box and a crossaint. Than the tour guide takes you through the security which is mandatory. They take you into St. Peter's Basilica where you get the choice whether to stay with the group or guide yourself through the Basilica. They recommend you going up to the Dome & the cupola if you do go up the stairs 2,204 you can take the elevator or the stairs. Otherwise, it's an amazing experience and I 100% recommend this experience. I would definitely return!
Found the place to...

Found the place to access ticket with help from taxi driver. Young friendley stafff led us in right direction with a lengthy queue awaiting entry. Use the lift to acces the roof level. Then climbed up the dome. You need to be quite fit. Photos from the top are amazing. Once in a lifetime thing to do. Pleased i did it.
A lot of people from...

A lot of people from different languages were placed together at the same time only in one group. And, having only one guide for this big assemble complicated the communication. This large group was kept together in the extremely long waiting line (so, also, nothing about "skip-the-line") Finally, after passing security, the guide apparently was in a hurry walking very fast, and for that reason, several people from the middle to the end of the group were left behind.
This is not a skip-the-line or early-entry ticket

Ignore any reviews that refer to this as Skip-the-line or early entry. It's not. In fact, it will take you longer to get in using this service rather than just going yourself the day of because you have to wait for the tour, which offers no additional service other than the Audioguide. They explain nothing along the way except to suggest you can buy breakfast at the cafe that "just so happens" to be the group meeting point.
Don’t bother. Just pay on the day and you save yourself lots.

No advantage to booking on this site. Had to queue for two hours. More expensive than had we just turned up on the day. Most unhelpful guide and audio guide was downloading an app that we could get to work. We felt throughly ripped off
