Booking through a tour company enabled us to skip all the lines getting into the Vatican Museums, St. Peter's Basillica and the Sistene Chapel - exactly as advertised. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw and did an excellent job of narrating as we walked through all the exhibits. The radio system they use to enable you to hear your guide as you walk around worked very well. When on vacation, the most important thing you have every day is time. Skipping the lines makes a huge difference in the experience you have in crowded venues like Vatican City, the Colosseum and the ruins. If you're interested in seeing all the popular things Vatican City has to offer, I would strongly recommend you go guided with a skip-the-line tour, and Headout does an excellent job.

I available of the Papal audience your which was a rather basic service that works really well for those looking for convenience. I was traveling along with my 74-yr old mother that had mobility challenges, hence the reason I booked this tour. While not particularly for seniors and reduced mobility, our your guide has been very helpful and friendly and made it possible for my mom to follow the rest of the group with no hassle. I'm very happy to meet my mom see the Pope even if I booked this only a day before our tour. Never hesitate to ask the guide any questions to make the most out of your experience!
