The guided tour lasts two hours and the rate includes the admission ticket.
Tickets must be purchased only on the day of the visit at the Vatican Museums "Guided Tours" desk.
To avoid any queue, you are allowed to enter the Vatican Museums from the entrance side, at Viale Vaticano, 30 minutes before the tour leaves.
As you can infer, I didn't pay ahead of time (apparently you did?), just made the reservation, then paid for the tickets when we arrived at the museum.
I am also planning to book the tour by that website for my trip next week -- do you have any idea what will happen just in case you miss your schedule? I am in the middle of organizing my transport and thinking of getting HOHO Bus as my transport from one point to another ... being my first time im not sure the timeliness of these buses so I wonder what if I miss my tour sched at the Vatican? Can I still be squeezed or no more?
Appreciate your experience on this=)
