The skip the line ticket was a great recommendation from friends. We saved so much time and hassle by using this option. Even though it costs a little extra, I highly recommend it. If you don't like crowds then I highly suggest you don't go round these museums or go to the Sistine chapel. We did not go during peak season, but even so it was so busy that we were basically just pushed along the whole time. We somehow managed to get a few of the seats around the edge of the Sistine chapel and were glad of it so we could actually appreciate what we were seeing. You are otherwise made to stand in silence in the centre of the room, or ushered straight out. There was of course an overwhelming amount to see and it was a great (if claustrophobic) experience.

Absolutely, amazing day trip, so great our guides were very helpful and informative, also the driver was great through the city of Rome and the surrounding area. Pizza was so delicious and quick as well, it was an all around amazing trip and we would recommend anyone wanting to go to Pompeii to book this day trip. The only issue we had was the short time to climb mount Vesuvius, we both felt if we had some more time we could have enjoyed the check points and view instead of rushing back down again, but maybe that is out of their control. Other than that an overall get experience! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Definitely do the option to skip the queue, else you’ll waste the day stuck on the sun for hours. Beware of the tours trying hardest to make you buy additional tickets. You’re not told you can’t take photos of the Sistine chapel until you’re about to enter. After about 2hrs of a crowded line of cattle trying to get there through the museum, it’s disappointing not to be able to take photos! However, saying that, the Sistine chapel itself is actually awe inspiring. But the problem being so crowded, the security staff usher you through very quickly! Not ideal, so be prepared to be treated like cattle.

We were in a group of 24 people with basic interest to advanced knowledge of ancient Roman history. The guide Antonella Palma had the abilty to capture and maintain one's attention for 3,5 hours with superior knowledge and answering to all levels of interest. After the tour one could really put the Roman jig-saw puzzle together in one's imagination in a very understandable way and one really felt that the tour answered to why one participated in the tour.

The segway evening 3.5 hour tour was a totally fun way to cover a lot of Rome geographically and receive excellent history facts from an Erasmus graduate. I was very impressed with Emmanuelli's thorough knowelege and charasmatic nature. Very pleasant and I would do it again when I return to Rome. 5 stars in my book. Also since its so hot during the day, it was refreshing to do this in the evening.
