Viator is the worst. You have to go to a different location to pick up vouchers, then queue to get in, queue again for security and again to change voucher into proper tickets! Also be warned no photography allowed in Sistine Chapel

Dear Customer,
we thank you to send us your opinion!
We are sorry that your experience was not to your satisfaction.
In this period because of Covid and government restrictions the entrance fees are increasingly contingent and securities check are increasingly harsh.
Thank you again for your input.

Because the vatican has only just opened again and with not many tourists arriving in the country there was only about 20 people in the main line so there was no waiting around the best possible time to visit an amazing time was had

een wir-war van verkooppunten, ook ter plaatse , idereen pikt zijn graantje mee

de geboekte trip van 12.OOu kon niet doorgaan, de volgende was 13.45u en we betaalden 70 € voor een skip de line die niet doorging, we moesten aanschuiven met de massa. In het verzilveringspunt waar je met je online ticket een fysiek ticket moest gaan halen kregen we een ticket voor twee ter waarde van 34€!!! de 70 € werd betaald via VISA. Aviator wordt NIET erkend door de museum ticket beheerders, dus opletten !!!!
