Excursão privada de 5 horas no Vaticano - pular a linha

Excellent, in-depth, small group tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. We really appreciated his commentary about the Vatican Museum artwork. Even though my wife and I have toured the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica before, we learned new information on this tour. We were accompanied by a friend who had difficulty walking; the tour guide and other tour members were very considerate of her needs. The five hours went by very quickly.

We visited the Vatican Monday morning, December 29, 2025, led by our guide, Filippo (that may not be the correct spelling). His knowledge of the history of the Vatican and its art collection is outstanding. It was a crowded day, but he navigated us around and through the crowds with ease, showing us all the things we wanted to see and many we didn't know to look for. Without him we would have been lost. I highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our trip to Italy.

We as the Ramirez family had Filippo. Filippo is a professor and historian. This is the only five-hour tour available in Rome, Italy! Definitely worth it! Filippo showed us the special treasures of the world! The School of Athens is just WOW! The Sistine Chapel, The Vault, with The Last Judgement is PERFECT!

We enjoyed our tour with Patrizia very much. Her guidance meant we focussed on the highlights but still learned and saw a lot, including some less visited areas that we’d have otherwise overlooked. I’d visited once without a guide and tried to see and read everything, which becomes confusing and overwhelming. Patrizia introduced us to certain topics and themes which created a thread as we progressed through the tour, meaning what we learned will stay with us. It was perfect for our family, including two teens. Thank you!

We booked a private Vatican , five hour tour. Josephine met us promptly and helped navigate the lines to enter the Vatican museum. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the art, as well as the significance of it within the Church. She walked us through the chronological time period of the various mosaics, tapestries and paintings and their meaning on the various popes at that time. She was able to answer questions and never rushed us throughout the exhibits, even though crowds were present. She ensured that we had highlights of St. Peter's and shared critical Catholic information we would have missed otherwise. Josephine was very flexible to our requests.

This tour is horrible. We paid quite a bit of money for this tour and we didn't get to see much of anything. First, our tour time changed weeks in advance. Not sure why, but it changed from 10 am to 12:30. I wasn't happy about it but accepted the time change because of what we paid. Next the meeting place was horrible. Very busy area and we were told the bottom of the stairs and she was at the top. We didn't see any of the galleries. We were quickly taken to the outside courtyard for some history and then shuffled inside. Our guide Maura didn't really let us look at anything, she was practically running through the building. She didn't seem happy that we wanted to look or take pictures. We got to the Sistine Chapel and before we entered she told us that there are 2 doors and to take the one on the right. She said the guard will not want you to go through because you don't have a guide but press him on it and I'll see you there just beyond the door. She said if we didn't press him and get through we would lose her. Well, guess what? We weren't allowed through the door! Finally after 15 minutes the guard let us through and then we saw the Basilica on our own. And thank goodness we still salvaged some part of this visit. I was so very upset, and I still get upset knowing we paid A LOT OF MONEY only to get left behind by our tour guide. I don't recommend this tour at all. I think they knew what was going to happen and they could care less. Instead of following us in, they left. To me they had no intention of giving anyone a tour. I will not book a tour like this again. I recommend buying your own tickets and walking through at your leisure. We went the first week of June and it was very busy already but if you plan and buy the tickets months ahead if possible you can have a better time.

We learned a lot from Leah, the tour guide assigned to us. She hapenned to be an archaeologist and knowledgeable in arts? Religion, and history so we felt like we are learning while looking at the Vatican pieces and sites at the same time. She's very helpful with the kids as well.

For those who want to enjoy, learn and be inspired, we highly recommend Maximus Tours and the deeper dive of a 5-hour experience. Our guide, Kristiana, was very knowledgeable and connected history, art and the beauty of our faith. It was an incredible day at the Vatican. We additionally booked a day trip to Assisi with Maximus and they provided direction on other items that made our 2 weeks in Italy most memorable. Grazie Mille to Matt and Kristiana!

My adult daughter and I just returned home from our two week Italy vacation and this tour with Kristiana was the best part of it all. Her content knowledge was first-rate, the finest I have ever been subjected to. She was gracious and outstanding. Booking the tour was terrific, the staff answered all my questions immediately and was extremely helpful the day of the tour when bad weather altered our mode of transportation to the site. This tour was worth every bit of the cost, a first-class, second to none, most outstanding tour. Grazie Kristiana per una giornata incredibile e indimenticabile.
