Once you see the lines going almost all the way back to St. Peter's, it's clear this is worth it.

Skip the line made it really easy and convenient for us to get into the Vatican. Definitely worth it, especially during peak seasons where the lines are extremely long and u have only very limited time. It is also great not to have to wait in the heat.

We enjoyed not waiting in line to see the Sistine Chapel. The staff were friendly, on time, and efficient. I would recommend this service to others.

The Sistine Chapel in July is great as there are so few visitors.

The line to get into the Vatican was incredibly long. It's also worth mentioning it was extremely hot, and this meant I did not have to stand out in the beating sun for 2 hours. This saved a ton of time during a time of year that standing in line is not worth it.

This was definitely worth it; we arrived earlier than the specified time, and somehow the friendly leader recognized us. We were taken to the front of the line almost immediately and were probably inside, through security, before our scheduled meeting time. One of the best aspects of this service is that you know exactly where to go.

To skip the waiting lines of people was a relief because the weather was extremely hot for the time of year. The Vatican and its museums are certainly worth seeing.

The lines were long, possibly due to the weather, but it was still worth the wait. The Viator staff was knowledgeable and helpful on the phone and on site. I will use them again for my next trip. Thanks!

It was very helpful. We just got there too early because we didn't know how long it would take to walk from our hotel. However, the girls organizing the group were extremely friendly, clear on their instructions, and a joy to be with.

The guide was very friendly and spoke English very well. This is a great way of getting in quicker than the rest, especially if you are visiting Rome in the Summer.

It can be a bit confusing when you are trying to find your contact in the morning, but they are there--it does take a little bit of time to get, in but in comparison to the lengthy line outside, this is definitely the way to go. If you want to see the inside of St. Peter's without the crowd, I suggest getting there at about 8 a.m., or as soon as the doors open. We were able to walk through St. Peter's almost alone. That may change as tourist season heats up.

Very easy. Was in the Vatican in about 10 minutes. There was a huge line wrapped around building already.

The Vatican was impressive, and I appreciated "skipping the line." I used the audio tour. It's a lot to see in a few hours.

I recommend getting to the meeting point early. As soon as there are enough people, you go in with a group before breaking off. The line to skip the line is pretty long, but it's still shorter that the real one. Get there a half hour ahead of time and it will be even smoother.

Without this ticket, you're in big trouble. The line without it was up to 2 hours long. We got in in about a half hour given security. Buy it.
