“Entry was fast, there was almost no line. The audio guide was kind of disorganized and I wasn't sure which audio was for which room until I later found the signs explaining which room was which. Some audios where in the wrong place when considering how the visit of the castle was structured. Some rooms had no audio guide at all, which was a little disappointing as there is a lot of art in the castle. Though it was quite a cheap ticket so I didn't expect much.”

9.Skip the Line: Vatican & Sistine Chapel Ticket with Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3,271 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $46.86

Skip long entry lines at the Vatican with a timed ticket, map, and self-guided audio app covering top museums and the Sistine Chapel.

“We prefer a free-and-easy visit rather than being guided through the vast Vatican on an intense historical tour. However, the pre-start briefing could be improved by including a simple instruction sheet to guide guests through the steps and direct them clearly to the entrance. At present, visitors need to do a bit of figuring out on their own to understand the starting sequence.”
