- Sistine Chapel - The Sistine Chapel, located within the Vatican Museums, is one of the world’s most renowned artistic masterpieces. Famous for its extraordinary ceiling painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, the Chapel features biblical scenes, including the Creation of Adam, one of the most iconic paintings in art history. In addition to the ceiling, the walls of the Sistine Chapel are adorned with frescoes by great Renaissance artists such as Botticelli, Perugino, and Ghirlandaio. Another masterpiece by Michelangelo, The Last Judgment, dominates the altar wall, depicting the second coming of Christ and the final judgment of souls. The Sistine Chapel is not only an artistic marvel but also a place of great religious significance, used for the conclave, the election of the Pope. Visiting the Sistine Chapel offers an unforgettable experience of immersion in the grandeur and spirituality of Renaissance art.

Beautiful must see....... - A must see on any trip to Rome. Beautiful place. Viator could do better with a contact person for the meet up as we couldn't find them and nearly lost our booking, booked several activities with other companies that all provided a telephone number for the meet up, viator have an help system but it's not the guide your meeting so couldn't help. This created a lot of stress prior to the tour.

Too many visitors! - The Sistene Chapel and museums are spectacular, unfortunately the crowds were overwhelming and it wasn't possible to pause for photos or contemplation. There is no where to rest so you are swept along a serpentine river of people for hours on end. Exhausting and frustrating.

your representative did... - your representative did not show up to give us the tickets at the meeting point. We did not have internet, so we did not have internet access to receive the tickets outside the hotel.

Provider cancels trips at the last minute - extremely disappointing - APPALLING - do not book with this operator!!!
We received a WhatsApp message 2 minutes before we were due at our meeting point to say that our tickets had been cancelled. It was a long and clearly pre-prepared WhatsApp stating that they had been "... unable to secure your ticket due to the Vatican's sudden policy change." Apparently the Vatican had made a last minute decision to limit access to all external tour operators due to technical issues. This seems highly implausible. And then GetYourGuide (whom we'd booked through) sent us an email saying that "... Ancient and Recent can no longer provide Rome: Vatican Museums Skip-the-line Entry Ticket on 28 September 2024 at Rome, Italy. They've informed us that this activity cannot be offered due to a blackout in your destination." We were there and there certainly wasn't a blackout! Having read the reviews, I can see that this has happened to multiple other customers on other dates too.
Please do not book tickets with this provider.

Avoid Avoid Avoid - Absolutely appalling service!!! I received a message the night before confirming our booking for priority tickets to the Vatican. We turned up at the allocated place at the allocated time… No member of staff there. I eventually messaged to ask when they would be arriving. Only then did I receive a message saying they had to cancel the tour! This was 5 minutes after we were supposed to be on the tour. No guidance was given as to how we could get tickets for another provided.
Avoid disappointment, use another provider!

Con man. Avoid this agency - Two weeks in advance I had bought tickets for the Vatican Museums for 127€. I show up half an hour early and they tell me that due to over booking my Reservation did not allow me access to museums. Unfortunately in my same situation other Italian customers and not only. But I do not give up, the police arrive and the person in charge on the phone (who obviously does not show up on the spot) tells me that he can do me the kindness to refund me. I still show up at the entrance of the museums and find that this situation had already arisen several times during the day, as I understand our tickets have been sold. Beware near the Guide there were several bathers 🤔. Security lets me through, they take me to the cashier and I pay for the tickets 48€.
So avoid this agency, it's unserious

Very Bad - I bought the ticket almost two months in advance and one day before they canceled it. They left me with no option to buy a new ticket, they didn't even offer a new time or any help, they canceled it and disappeared from the map... A trip planned for months, I crossed the globe and when I got here I was left helpless, terrible company, don't do anything with them.

A big SCAMM - These guys are a scam. They cancel my booking before few hours when I already reached to the meeting point. Please don’t book through them. They will cancel at last moment and then have their guys contact you and buy tickets at a much expensive rates.

Bought a ticket but it never appeared - I bought a ticket through TripAdvisor/Viator to see the Vatican and the Sistine chapel. When we got there to pick it up, they had no evidence of us even booking/a ticket even though I had paid and received a confirmation number. The staff there tried very hard to find it-calling the office etc. They even tried to figure out a way for us to get tickets as this was our last day in Rome. There were no tickets available. They told us our only option was to go back in the ticket line (long) and hope to buy another ticket, and then get back in the line we were in. Successfully negating the fact of the skip the line ticket I had purchased.
Needless to say, they thankfully refunded our ticket. BUT I did NOT get to see the Vatican. Ruining that experience. The staff, atleast tried their best to accommodate. But someone dropped the ball. Badly.
If you book, apparently book through them. Not through TripAdvisor. Because you may not get your ticket and your experience will be ruined like mine.
