It's worth to pay to join a tour to go through these 3 important sites. The tour not only includes skip the line tickets, the tour guide knows how to navigate these 3 very crowded sites. Our guide was very knowledgeable & explained things very clearly.
The tour covered everything we wanted to see, and our guide was awesome at explaining everything in detail. We learned so much. We walked away with a treasure. But be prepared to to walk up and down lots of stairs and be on your feet the whole time. But our guide walked slow for everyone and didn’t rush us, which was important because I’ve waited 30 years to see the inside of the Sistine Chapel. I felt like I was standing inside the Bible.
I booked this tour online to start at 10AM but the start time got rescheduled to 8:45AM by the tour company, which was OK because it worked for us and they communicated the change well in advance. The office is easy to find, it's right next to the Vatican. As stated in the listing, we didn't have to wait long to get into the Museum, Sistine Chapel nor St. Peter's Basilica. Why it was not a 5 star experience: the specific tour guide was OK; I felt like there was more information she could have provided about the art or history but because it was so crowded we spent alot of time rounding up our the tour group. Understandably it's because it's so crowded at the Vatican and you can easily lose your tour group. The other reason I took off a star was because at the end of the tour, rather than leaving us at the official Vatican gift shop, she took us down the street to a 3rd party gift shop and showed us specific items to buy for a "discount." This felt very sales-y and a push for commission. All this being said, I doubt our experience is unique and I'm sure many other tour groups and companies also operate this way. If you want just the highlights of the Vatican from an established company, this tour is not a bad option.
Our guide was excellent. It is always very crowded and was hot, but the tour was magnificent and we were well looked after
Olympia(probably not spelling her name right), was our tour guide and she was AMAZING! She explained the paintings and statues in such detail that we wouldn't know if we went on our own. We got time to sit in the Sistine Chapel and enjoy the moment. This was totally worth doing. I highly recommend her.
Waiting in the wait room *before* the tour was awful. Super hot. Stifling. Granted it was hot outside (about 100F?) but their lobby should have had A/C, it didn’t. I saw an A/C unit, it was either broken or they didn’t turn it on. It was miserable while waiting in their crowded lobby. So it was about 90F in the waiting room/lobby while we waited for tour to begin, and of course they were late. Then we had to march outside, uphill, in the unbearably hot weather. Once we were inside, the tour was fine and our guide did a great job, she really knew her stuff. And the audio system worked well too. So the only reason for the lack of five-star rating is their lack of A/C while waiting for tour to begin.
Stefania was an amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable and a very good communicator. She helped us navigate the crowds perfectly. It was worth every penny to have her guidance and skip the lines!
Enjoyed it and tour guide made it interesting. Easy to find tour guide and was very accommodating since one of us had to use a wheelchair due to an injury during our vacation.
What a wonderful day. We had a fantastic guide who was very informative and friendly. Although our tour was switched to the afternoon it didn't affect our day and our guide said it was infact quieter. Highly recommended.
The tour started on the wrong foot as our guide was 15-20 minutes late. Every wing of the Vatican has amazing works of art and our guide was very knowledgeable, but we unfortunately didn't see a lot. She spent a lot of time outside, and therefore only saw two wings of the museum. For instance, we didn't get to see The School of Athens painting. The Basilica and the Sistine Chapel are just as impressive as you would imagine. The tour was 3 hours and felt a bit long, especially with the heat and the very crowded spaces inside the Vatican's walls.
