If I buy a guided tour for individuals vatican museum/sistine chapel ticket on the vatican website does it include a skip the line feature? I absolutely need a skip the line pass because I will be visiting the museum on Good Friday. April 2nd. I've also heard it's easy to "tag along" behind an English speaking tour. Anyone have any experience with this?

I don't know if it is easy to tag along but it could be because it can be very crowded at times. But don't you think that is a little unethical? dishonest ?? But I have also been on tours when someone has tried that. The guide was generally pretty good at catching them and asking them to move on.

Sorry. I realize the confusion in my question. I have every intention of buying a vatican tour ticket for 30 Euro. I've still read that even with this there could be a line. This is confusing and I'm not sure how long befoe my tour I should be arriving. Also, at The Met in NYC free tours come with price of admission. Each day a different tour is offered at a different time so people hanging about listening in on the French Decorative Arts tour or Medieval tour etc., is not unususal.

Yes, it does. Skip right up to the ticket office with your voucher.

I was on the website of the Vatican today too. I wasn't sure that the tour price also included admission...but it sounds like it does.

Thanks to everyone!! I just bought my 2 guided tour tix for April 2nd at the time I wanted!!! Thanks to everyone for the advice. I can't believe I will be in The Sistine Chapel in 2 months. Having last been to Rome in 1989 I am finally going back to see what I missed the first time which most importantly was The Vatican Museums and The Pantheon! I'm sure I will be back with more questions so stay tuned!
