Es war nicht klar, dass wir keine Tickets, sondern nur voucher für Tickets bekommen, die wir in einem seltsamen Store holen mussten. Die Museen waren extrem überfüllt. Man wurde nur durchgeschleust, konnte sich kaum etwas ansehen. Es gibt tatsächlich Menschen, die Exponate betrachten wollen. Das Personal an der Warteschlange und im Vatikan war super unfreundlich. Zum Glück war Rom ansonsten toll. bei anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten hat man die Menschenmassen auch deutlich besser im Griff und freundli

Accoglienza cordiale e gentile. Servizio perfetto. E' l'ideale per chi vuole evitare di fare interminabili code sotto il sole per entrare ai Musei Vaticani. L'Ufficio è anche facile da trovare! Compreso nel "salta la fila" anche un giro sull'autobus turistico e un filmato multimediale.

The skip the line was great . We had no waiting around and went straight through to the security area. The experience was good although we found it difficult to find the right place to get our reserved tickets before going in to the Vatican City. We had to ask a lot of tourists information centres where to go to collect our tickets. I don’t think the details of the meeting point is clear enough. Once we got our tickets it was overall a great experience.

Het is fijn om niet in een 150 meter lange rij te staan en dan nog eens heel veel te gaan lopen. Echter denk ik wel dat het het prettigst is om vroeg te gaan. En het helpt als je houdt van historie en kunst.

Solo per la Cappella Sistina vale il prezzo pagato, ma dentro c'è talmente tanto da vedere che il tempo passa senza accorgersene. Organizzati in maniera impeccabile, i musei sono una visita da fare assolutamente.

Our visit to the Vatican Museums and Sistine chapel certainly was a day out to remember as well as a spiritual experience. And seeing the Micheal Angelo paintings for me was thrilling. And the art in the galleries was thought provoking and had me on highs and lows. A very worthwhile day out.

Skip the line is zeker de moeite als je ziet hoe lang anderen moeten aanschuiven om tickets te kopen. De prijs is misschien wat duurder, maar je bespaart heel veel tijd.

Wij hebben 1,5 u moeten wachten tot ze met ons binnen gingen. Ze hadden een verkeerd uur opgeschreven en hebben er ons na discussie bijgenomen bij een andere groep maar moesten alleen naar de rij gaan. Ze hadden 14u20 opgeschreven terwijl het 13u20 was

Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war super.Es hat alles perfekt funktioniert. Was einfach ein bisschen umständlich ist, dass man sein Online Voucher erst in ein Ticket Umtauschen muss vor Ort.Das klappt zwar alles hervorragend und ist gut beschrieben und erklärt wo und wann.Aber im Smartphone Zeitalter könnte das auch super über einen QR -Code funktionieren

It wasn’t worth us paying for skip the line as our electronic tickets were not accepted when we presented them and we were directed to a tourist office to get them printed. The new tickets were a different format as the tourist office were simply not allowed to print them. A favour by providing new tickets for us free of charge but they were not skip the line. It would be helpful to know which tours need paper tickets and which can use electronic.

Het was er ontzettend druk, eerst moest de voucher nog worden omgeruild voor een ticket. Vervolgens wilde de mevrouw van het toeristenbureau nog 10 euro extra per persoon voor de gids! De Sixtijnse kapel was gesloten door het conclaaf voor een nieuwe paus. Erg duur ticket voor hetgeen we gezien hebben. Geen reductie op de prijs van het ticket, dat was niet mogelijk.

Één woord: GEWELDIG!! Wat een fantastische ervaring, waar je echter wel van bewust moet zijn is dat het overweldigend veel is. Dus door het museum moet je gewoon lopen en de highlights eruit pakken die je wil zien. Het is verstandig om van tevoren uit te zoeken waar deze staan.

The process of exchanging the voucher for the ticket was good. Tourist Information staff very helpful. However, Vatican Museums were uncomfortably crowded and we felt we were rushed through the Sistine Chapel at the end. It was very pleasant to sit in the garden to eat lunch before leaving though.

Positief: ik was eerder gegaan om te kijken waar ik moest zijn en zonder enige moeite werd de aanvangstijd aangepast. Verder ik kon zo doorlopen, zonder rij Negatief: ik verwachtte een gids maar die moest je apart bijbetalen. Ik ben toen zelf de musea gaan bekijken en kon zo alles op mijn manier doen, zoals bijvoorbeeld de plaspauzes.

Great value for money however far too many people at anyone time, a lot of large groups which took up space and couldn’t get past them to move onto the next section. If you just wanted to see the Sistine Chapel you have to follow the whole route through the Vatican museums there is no quicker route (or if there is we didn’t find it)

Es war sicherlich sinnvoll, die Karten vorher zu bestellen, um ein Anstehen von mehreren Stunden vor der Kasse zu vermeiden, allerdings erschließt sich mir nicht, warum man für die Aushändigung der Karten und den Hinweis, an welchem Gate man sich anstellen muss, einen Aufschlag von 100 Prozent auf den regulären Ticketpreis nehmen muss.

Leider haben wir vorab den besuch im Petersdom gebucht für um 13:30 Uhr. Da dieser total überfüllt gewesen ist, wir 2 1/2 Std. angestanden haben um überhaupt erstmal in den DOM rein zu kommen, konnten wir die Sixtinische Kapelle nicht mehr besuchen.

De wachtrij (zonder "fastpass") was erg lang, waardoor we toch een paar uren verloren zouden zijn mochten we deze pass niet gekocht hebben. Online voucher moet wel nog ingewisseld worden voor een papieren, dit was niet helemaal duidelijk op voorhand, maar het toeristenbureau waar dit moest, ligt gelukkig vlak aan de Vaticaanse musea zelf.
