We purchased skip the line tickets to the Vatican and Sistine chapel with audio guide in advance for 1:30pm and it was worth it. We went straight to the Vatican museum without any queuing and used the voucher to gain entry and also collect the audio guide. We actually got in earlier than 1:30pm. Note you are not issued with headphones so bring your own otherwise you need to listen using it as a phone. We were able to wander at our own leisure, it is extremely busy walking round and be prepared to do a lot of walking and stairs,the museum is HUGE! I can’t even explain just how magnificent it is, just amazing. The Sistine chapel for obvious reason gets even more crowded as people congregate, you are herded into the chapel so if you are claustrophobic beware, there are a few seats around the sides. We also managed to see St Peter’s Basillica. We didn’t buy tickets in advance but around 4pm queuing took around 15 minutes. All amust for anyone visiting Rome, just overwhelmingly magnificent

We were pleased with this skip the line ticket, there was a huge line for others without this ticket. It was clearly labelled where to enter at the outside entrance but unclear that we were able to by pass the line once inside the building. Also there was still a very big line to get to the Sistine Chapel once inside, which I believe everyone must wait in despite the type of ticket they have.

The directions given by the getyourguide app (using google maps) to get to the ticket office was wrong. We had to go back and walk for 5-10mins to get to the right direction. You can just use google maps and follow the direction suggested from Ottaviano Metro station to Via Viale Vaticano.
