This guided tour was outstanding! Skipping the long lines saved us so much time, and having a knowledgeable guide made all the difference. The Vatican Museums are vast, and our guide’s explanations brought each gallery to life. From ancient art to the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel, every moment was meaningful and informative. It’s easy to get lost or overwhelmed on your own, but this tour kept everything engaging and smooth. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Vatican history without wasting time in queues. A truly enriching and hassle-free experience!

Our guide was wonderful, very informative and easy to understand. This is the only way to tour the Vatican as the crowds are huge.

Great museum but poor tour guide
Was excited about visiting the Vatican but unfortunately the guide was very monotone and seemed to just going through the motions rather than show any passion about the museum. Disappointed with the tour guide but the museum is worth a visit.
Operator response
does the tour guide did not offer you lunch or coffe? or denied to do a whole day long tour as you wanted !

Not what I expected
The Vatican and Sistine Chapel are awe inspiring. The tour added nothing to the beauty of the places. Our earphones did not work. The guide gave some information on the works of art and tapestries but when we got the the Sistine Capel we were left on our own. We have gone on tours in the past that had guides who took time to explain the significance of the individual sections of the ceiling.
Operator response
do you expect guide spent her whole day with you? our tour takes 2.30 hours which is standard time duration for a informative tour with all important highlights just dont make complaints about whatever you have in life

Haven't completed tour. Will complete another review near the end.
I am currently on the tour... the guide has told us she does not do the tour to st. Peters basilica. This tour states we are able to go into st Peter's basilica. The guide isn't able to go in so we are unable to. I would imagine you will be getting a lot of emails about wrong information given.
Operator response
which part of this tour told you have paid for the basilica as it is a church ? it offered as an extra when passage remains open we get in without line there but if remains close by the authority for everyone its close

Save your money…
Pretty disappointed with the experience. I mean, the logistics of booking were okay and our tour guide was good BUT we still had to wait in line quite some time. This tour was a huge group. My hubby (who had a cane because he hurt his foot) straggled behind and had a very difficult time keeping up. We weren’t offered any alternatives whether to slow the pace a bit or take an elevator or offer a wheelchair. Although kids were welcomed on the tour and charged nearly full price, the tour guide did not acknowledge them or even offer any tidbits of info that might be interesting for them. For the price we paid, we should have just showed up, purchased tickets and gone at our own pace.
Operator response
why you booked a group tour if you need wheelchair or bla bla ? you could have save more money by standing in the line when you are in group tour you need to think of other 24 pax too and as you completed the tour with bad leg it means pace was fare enough please do not just write whatever you want to
