My husband and I were on a pilgrim for this Jubilee Year 2025 to Rome for our 20th anniversary

My husband and I were on a pilgrim for this Jubilee Year 2025 to Rome for our 20th anniversary After visiting the Holy Doors we wanted to see the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel but with the freedom to do it on our own so we can linger on the exhibits we like and move on with those that we dont This was the package for us Now the night before the tour we ate delicious Italian seafood pasta When we awoke on the day of the tour we experienced intense allergic reactions Instead of preparing for the tour at 7am we were looking for antihistamines I contacted the Viator vendor and an agent replied helping us She sent us the tickets and gave us a heads up that we wont be able to skip the lines anymore since we will miss our 830am schedule We arrived 945am at the entrance of the museum with the pdf tickets at hand The guard for the skipped the line said we cant use the skip the line entrance as the Viator agent have said We were directed towards those who didnt have tickets yet and we waited for about 15 mins there before we were able to enter That was because there were only about 20 of us on the line Lucky Nevertheless we got in using the tickets we bought thru Viator It went well for us Thank you

15 hr Vatican tour

Our guide Lara was clear concise and knowledgable bringing the tour to life We opted for the 15 hour tour as we have 2 younger children it didnt feel rushed Opt for the 8am skip the line choice to avoid the crowds Ending in St Peters Basilica we then had time to look round this at our leisure
