“Highly recommend this deal! To get into the Vatican it is IMPOSSIBLE and you will wait hours to get in. If you are on a time crunch then getting a fast pass is highly recommended. You do wait but not as long as you would without the fast pass ticket. Plus all the other perks are a bonus! You can get into any bus in Rome which is really helpful when you get tired from walking everywhere.”
