I'm looking at options in mid-May for visiting the Vatican museums. On the day that I'd like to book, it looks like there are only two options for general admission, 5:00pm and 5:30pm. Once I select one of those options, the additional services/happy hour option is displayed. The available HH times are 5:50p and 6:40p. My question is, if I want to select the 5:50 HH, can we do that first and then enter the museum afterward if I've purchased the 5:30p admission tickets? I was hoping to start with the HH, then go to the museums after and visit until close.
The additional services/happy hour text says: "The admission ticket is valid only for the issue date and cannot be used twice. Visitors will not be permitted to re-enter the Vatican Museums if they leave the premises before the starting time of the Happy Hour."
Also, am I correct that I cannot combine the HH with a guided tour? I'm not seeing any additional services displayed when I try to select that option.
I am sure it's simple, but I'm just not getting it. Any help would be so appreciated!
