Full description
Take a stirring journey through art and religious history with skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Avoid the long ticket lines and then enjoy your visit at your own pace.  Wander through the Greek Cross Gallery to see elaborately-carved sarcophagi that might just contain the earthly remains of some of antiquity's famous kings and queens. Peek at the Cabinet of the Masks, or tour the Sala degli Animali to see a virtual menagerie of fantastic beasts, real and imagined. Walk the Upper Galleries, including the Gallery of Maps, to see how cartographers depicted the world through the ages. See masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms, and rest for a while in the Borgia Apartments. Then, it’s time to marvel at Michelangelo’s exquisite Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and perhaps even of all the world’s art treasures.

It was nice day out. But there was no line on museum. So this tickets to skip line was pretty expensive. Normal ticket cost 17 euro , and you have to pick yours tickets in the same place and you pay 29 euro in getyourguude for nothing. I don't know how is that's work with line.

Great outing, but you pay almost twice as much for the ticket than you pay inside. There was also no so-called fast and slow route. They both end up in a central hall where you can buy or scan your tickets. Just pretend you have a ticket and keep walking. Ticket inside costs €17, GYG €29.

I found it unclear why you would go all the way to the get your guide stand. Maybe explain carefully that that is the way to go past the rows. We now entered through the normal entrance, luckily it was not busy there. But then the costs were not necessary.
