Rome: Vatican Museum &Sistine Chapel guided Tour

AWFUL! We waited near a subway entrance for 1 hour, and the guide never showed up. We received the cancellation information well after the meeting time. To be avoided!

The first admission tickets that were booked were cancelled on us the evening before the tour. We booked another admission through another operator for roughly the same time as the original, and had to pay almost double for the same package. On the day of our admission booking, the tour company then pushed our time back by 4 hours, saying they ran out of tickets. The tour company does not have an office and had us meet on front of a movie theatre. He then rushed us to the Vatican gates and just had us cut through the regular lineup, clearly having backdoor arrangements with Vatican workers to let them cut. He then had us wait near the ticket booth while he bought the 20 euro tickets we paid around 115 euro each for. Terrible service, very sketchy, rip off, tourist trap, and I would like a refund.

We were staying at the Hotel Raganelli in Rome and we wanted to book a tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. The concierge at our hotel suggested MP Tours where we would have a reserved entrance and a guided tour. We met our guide at the Ticket Station outside the Vatican on 19th February 2024 at 11.30 am. We do not know our guide’s name but she was superb in every respect. She was able to give historical facts and details but also to convey stories making the history come alive. Three hours vanished as we were enthralled by every thing we saw and experienced. The name of the group was ts. I really recommend this tour to you. It was not inexpensive at €178 for us both but it was worth every penny. We will never forget our experience.

There was no tour. It was booked for a day on the guide’s schedule but the Vatican was closed. It was the biggest disappointment in our trip. My son will probably never get a chance to see it again.

Visit booked with Enjoy tour, professionalism and competence, combined with the particular passion, kindness and knowledge of our guide Rosalia Gangemi. Great experience

Easy and fast entry thanks to CIS Tours. Booking made the day before for the next day when all other online sites were sold out up to 3 days. Very good guide specialized in art history. We have learned a great deal about the works on display and the history of the Vatican.

It was a wonderfull private tour in the Vaticaan musea. I have learned a lot and would recommend it to others.

We had time to get a coffee and everything before going on the tour, in which the our guide lady was very nice to us. Had a good time!

I used this tour operator to skip the line to Vatican museums, where the line ups snake around the block as I was there only for one week. The service was professional, friendly and delivered what promised.
