The pass includes priority access to the Vatican Museums, which contain one of the largest art collections in the world.

Excellent

It was great to have prepaid tickets but the crowds of people was unreal. There were no staff to tell people where to go. We still had to queue to get in but overall a fantastic experience.

Good

Good value for the money spent, but the audio guide was not as detailed as I hoped. The basilica and museums are stunning, though.

Mediocre

The pass is convenient, but it was very crowded, especially around the Sistine Chapel. Not ideal if you dislike crowds.
