It’s was terrible. We had to harass the company to send us tickets. They finally did and we could get any audio as the clerks in the Vatican keep moving us from place to place. I wouldn’t do it again.

Itinerary
Avoid the often very long wait to see the Vatican Museums by booking this priority access tour.
Michelangelo's masterpiece, take time to admire the vaults.
Admire Raphael's Rooms -- painted by the master himself and his pupils around the same time as the Sistine Chapel -- and inspired and challenged by Michelangelo's greatest masterpiece.
Explore one of the Vatican's many open-air courtyards. This one is decorated with a giant bronze pinecone sculpture, giving the courtyard its name.
Access the Vatican Museums and discover the famous "Sphere within a Sphere" sculpture.
The Vatican Museums are divided into many smaller, unique museums. Among them, the Museo Pio Clementino is likely the most important, and the many highlights it contains cannot be missed! Stop at the Octagonal Courtyard for the Laocoönte and the Apollo Belvedere -- or the Round Room for the giant marble bathtub patrolled by an enormous bronze statue of Heracles. Spot a sculpture of your favorite fauna in the Room of the Animals, or just marvel at the 3D-painted vaults of the Gallery of the Candelabra.
One of the most popular galleries of the Museums, make a stop here and try to spot the Italian cities you have travelled to, or your ancestor's hometown. These hand-painted maps, dating to the late 1500's, can also be admired for the exquisite attention to detail and embellishments. See if you can spot the nod to Christopher Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic..

I DID NOT GET MY TICKETS IN TIME FOR THE EVENT!!!! I need a refund please. Your support system and your ticket system failed. I called 3 times and left messages. No response. I had to buy more tickets on the spot. Terrible experience with TripAdvisor.
SCAM! We never received our tickets! He will tell you he’ll send you the tickets night before.
Official Vatican tickets were sold out, so using a third-party provider was our only option if we wanted to visit. This provider was prompt with replies via WhatsApp. We booked the 8:00am entry and received our e-tickets the evening before after following up with them on WhatsApp. We arrived at around 7:15am and found it easy to line up, show our e-tickets and get straight through when the doors opened at 8:00am. Going early was definitely the right choice. The museum was still relatively quiet at this time, and we were able to see a lot of it before the crowds arrived. Overall, a smooth experience and a great option when official tickets are sold out.
This was an awesome guided tour of Versailles palace!! Our guide did such an awesome job of explaining the history in behind each room and art in such a fun way. I don’t think it would have been as interesting if I did it just by myself and glad I went with the tour guide. The meet up and the ride form Paris to Versailles was super smooth and they did a really good job with instruction so everything was clear and organized. 10/10 would recommend! Beside the guided tour our guide also recommended other cool spots to check out in the city of Versailles as well as Paris.
Tickets were worth the money but was a nightmare getting them. On instructions it says go to entrance corridor and get the ticket validated by staff. This isn't the case. We should have had our tickets sent via email or WhatsApp. We didn't. I couldn't get hold of anyone from 'Vatican Visons tours' I tried to call numerous times. I finally got a WhatsApp from them about an hour before entry and they sent the tickets via WhatsApp. Really stressful experience. When your in a place looking for someone to validate your ticket and there is no one to help. I would recommend booking with a company that provides tickets before travel that you can print yourself. I wouldn't recommend booking with trip advisor.
Top class service. Very easy to book. Highly recommended
It was super easy. We got all the info we needed, and if we ever had questions, customer service was quick to respond.
Absolutely amazing adventure. The Museo was spectacular from an art standpoint, the ceilings were stellar, buuttttt nothing compared to the indescribable beauty of the Sistine Chapel. This tour made my whole trip to Roma worth every penny!!!
Very prompt resolution of an issue with tickets going through Viator who contacted the company. Thanks to Vatican Vision Tours for responding to the issue quickly. Had a great experience on the day
We had a great experience with this tour operator. We purchased our tickets and were able to visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel without any issues. The tickets were conveniently delivered to us via WhatsApp, making the process simple and stress free. The tickets were the lowest price I could find. Highly recommended if you’re looking for affordable and reliable Vatican tickets!

We highly recommend this ticket company. Sistine was fantastic, turning a stressful day into a smooth and enjoyable experience. It’s clear they genuinely care about us and our experience. They showed exceptional flexibility, and I’m very glad I chose to book with them.
Great to be able to experience the Vatican museums although we couldn't get official tickets so we went through a third party. The experience was great however its marketed as skip the queue but that just isn't the case
I truly appreciated this tour company. They transformed a stressful day into a smooth, enjoyable experience. It’s clear they genuinely care about us and our experience, rather than just trying to make a quick profit. They demonstrated exceptional flexibility, and I’m very happy I chose to book with them.
Thank you for providing a secure service. The ticket arrived ahead of schedule. My suggestion is that the system could include an email notification to the customer in advance about when their reservation will be converted to a barcode ticket. Otherwise, we were very satisfied with your service. Thank you.
Booking the tickets online was quick and easy, and the whole experience was great. The Vatican has so much to see, and the skip-the-line ticket made entering fast and stress-free. I definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance online if you want a smoother and quicker entrance!!
The Vatican tour was fantastic—my top experience in Rome. The vendor behaved professionally and communicated well. Overall, Italy's organization was effective. I highly recommend it.
Hello could not contact provider for the e-tickets phone number not working please contact me for tickets I have checked my email and what's app everyday already. Rebeccaso.hc@gmail.com. Thanks
The Vatican tour was excellent—my best experience in Rome. The vendor's behavior was professional and communicative. Overall, Italy's organization was successful. I recommend it.
My rome visit was successful when i visit the vatican museum and sistine chapel in my life best tour Vatican vission tour was good, service excilent,
we had no issues using the site, received tickets the day before through WhatsApp seemless experience
We had a wonderful visit. Very well arranged and no delay at entry or registration. Thereafter our group was managed professionally by our guide, Maggie who was most knowledgeable and humorous. Throughly enjoyed the amazing Vatican with its innumerable treasures and historical facts came to life thanks to Maggie - truly for me a dream come true to visit after many years. One of the best tours we have taken.
Perfect. I 100% suggest it for an experience by your own without any guide.
Mizanur Rahman our ture gade provide a very good service. I am also visit the Vatican Museum is beautiful but so much cloud. But the service is very good. 16 sistine shapel it was looking make a incredible view.
We booked Skip-the-Line tickets to the Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel for today (28May2026) through Viator with tour operator "Vatican Visions Tour". It was definitely expensive, but we had a fabulous experience overall. We arrived about 30 minutes early to line up and got into the museum very smoothly. There were lots of people, as expected, but we were able to see most of the museum within about 2 hours. The booking and payment process through Viator was easy and straightforward. We received tickets (in pdf) via email and WhatApps including location the night before and can easily used to enter the museum. My only recommendation for the tour operator would be to send the tickets after payment or at least a few days earlier instead of the night before, as we were worried about not receiving them in time. Other than that, everything went really well and we truly enjoyed the experience!
Tickets came online and easy to find.. no wait entry was easy and on time. Museum was incredible and Sistine Chapel was awesome .
Can leave a 0? The worst tour experience in my life. Vatican Vision Tours provided tickets with wrong names. We were denied access to the museum. Even though I explained the issue to Vatican Vision Tours, the contact person maintained their position, the tickets should work. At first, for approximately 20 minutes, Vatican Vision Tours was responsive through the app messaging function but then all communications ceased. We waited for two hours in hope of receiving tickets with our names but our wait was fruitless. The phone number listed is not operable, all communication must be done through the app, no telephone number. WORST of the WORST.
Shameful experience. We booked the skip the line Vatican tour. This company ( Mizanur Rahman ) contact me at 11pm the night before the experience telling me not to worry, our tickets will be with us an hour before the start. We travelled all this way and he sent me a message 10 minutes before our entrance and cancelled the tour!!!!! IDin not blame the Vatican for not sending something you never had to sell in the first place, after speaking to other operators, you do this a lot !!! You should be ashamed!!!! And banned from Viatour, who I will be contacting also !!
To see the amazing antiquities and art was amazing, however I believe the tours could be managed a lot better. Being crushed and almost bullied through by security almost spoiled the experience. If it were not for the collection of the museum I would hasten to recommend it.
We waited at meeting point and could not find our agent that was suppose to provide us our tickets. We called the number it was invalid.
our company sponsored the tour, it was our first time in europe. the tour was soo smooth and the operator Mizan vai guide us all the time. we enjoy we learn we love
Best day out with the squad! Book tickets online to save money and avoid lines. Three hours exploring together. Sistine Chapel incredible. Must-do: comfy shoes and water bottles (free refills inside)!
We went there with our whole squad, we will call It's a experience rather then a tour. We enjoyed we laugh we smile. The operator was so helpful, guide us texted us till the end.
Getting the ticket after I bought it took a long time so I worried I would never get it but it finally came 2 days before my actual date. The customer service in Rome at the Viator ticket office was friendly and helpful
This is a scam. Avoid these people. We booked online and paid, they sent us an email saying they would send the tickets 30 minutes before our time. Instead we received an email 90 minutes before cancelling the whole ticket. It was our last day in Rome so we didn’t get to see the Sistine Chapel or the Vatican,
It was an absolute outrage. I booked an entry for 10:00 AM. The evening before, we still didn't have tickets for it, then at 7:30 PM a call/WhatsApp that we could only enter the Vatican Museums at 2:00 PM. Either this time or cancel. Unfortunately, our flight was at 7:00 PM and we were unnecessarily put under great stress - very annoying and outrageous. I cannot recommend it!
I was a little worried after reading the reviews, but I had a great time on the day tour without any issues... If you show the ticket sent the night before the tour to the Vatican guide, they will clearly tell you where and how to proceed, and you can enter by scanning the QR code~ Thanks to you, I had a good viewing experience. I recommend it!
The Viator assistant who gave us the tickets was very helpful on WhatsApp. Easy communication. But the entrance to the Vatican was harder to find.
There was a ticket issuance issue, but you responded quickly! The exchange was smooth, and I am very satisfied. Thank you very much!
I received the tickets in PDF format 2 days before our visit. We only had to get in the right line in front of the Vatican Museum and we saved a lot of time!
Since the ticket hadn't arrived by the day of the event, I contacted them on WhatsApp, and they told me that the morning ticket I had originally reserved was no longer available, and I had to choose between 3:30 PM or cancellation. It seemed to be an individual reselling tickets, not a legitimate tour company. If they didn't hoard the tickets, they could be bought at the official price on the official website, but the current situation is that scalpers are profiting because the Vatican has not taken effective measures. I recommend securing tickets as soon as possible on official websites.
The ticket arrived only the evening before, but it is probably the standard procedure for the Vatican Museums ticket office. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
Great tour, super agile and helpful staff
Everything just as promised, we managed to enter the museums with practically no wait.
100% recommendable and safe to buy
Very good experience. We saved a lot of time on lines and at a very good price. The purchase was on Booking.com.
We didn't get tickets for an agency mishap Prompt resolution of the non-recovery of money by viator after the agency had not provided tickets. Refund viator ready and reliable. Good response from Viator.
We received the tickets at 13:05 for a visit at 12:30...so we could not return and no refund possible Very disappointed and impossible to prove our claims because the site claims to have sent them to us at 12:26 by email but we received nothing no empathy possible
