With your own dedicated, local guide crafting every detail into a bespoke journey, experience the Doge’s Palace like never before. Skip the lines and explore the lavish halls where rulers once held power, marvel at the Golden Staircase and masterpieces, and step inside the infamous prison cells that held figures like Casanova. Cross the renowned Bridge of Sighs, retracing the last steps of the condemned and uncovering the dark secrets hidden within these walls, all at your own pace.

Avoiding the famously long lines at the Vatican couldn’t be simpler thanks to our skip-the-line ticket service. You’ll meet our friendly representative at a designated spot near to the Vatican entrance, and from here you’re in safe hands! You’ll be guided past the general admission line and straight through to the group entrance of the Vatican, after which you’ll be handed your tickets and can set off to explore the Vatican at your own pace.

I didn’t sign up for the option with a tour, so they just handed me my ticket, explained what line to get in, and then I was on my own. It’s definitely cheaper to get your own ticket I just didn’t plan far enough ahead to get the time I needed. The people were nice and answered all our questions about where to go and what to do.

We bought €20/25 tickets for €50 as we thought we couldn’t buy skip the line tickets on line. We also thought we had bought the ticket that came with a tour guide. Clearly our fault. The Vatican has its own website where you can buy timed tickets without any mark up. Really wouldn’t mind some mark up for the service but double seems excessive. The staff we met were very kind and we were disappointed that we didn’t have the tour but they recommended we got the audio guide once inside. An absolutely amazing place to see, with more and more wonderful things around each corner.

The tour guides were easy to locate at the meet up site, friendly, and helpful. Our tickets were given to us right on time, and we were given verbal directions for where to go; we were not guided through security as the description says—not an issue for us, but something to consider if you want more support to find the correct line to stand in.

Very helpful and efficient
