Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel Tour with St Peter Basilica Access

If you plan on visiting the Vatican, it’s a MUST to do the early access tour. Even with early access there were quite a number of people. Our guide, Veronica, was awesome!! “Piano, piano”. That will stay with me and I will use it at home. Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you get Veronica.

Our guide Francesca was so knowledgeable and wonderful. Amazing experience! Also we were lost before and Carlo came and found us for our private tour. He really went above and beyond.

Great experience! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fantastic!! He guided us so well and had so much information about each area.

The Vatican is so large, I highly recommend using a guide. This tour offered an informed and thoughtful guide along with a small, intimate group. It definitely added to the experience. Note though, the description makes it sound like you start in the chapel and that is not the case.

Luisa was enthusiastic, informative and friendly. However, the earpieces used were of such poor fit that those with glasses had to decide whether to wear glasses or listen through the earpiece. The earpieces were falling out of our ears, and some were simply carrying them. I don’t feel like I got what I paid for unfortunately.

Sara was an amazing guide, her background made her super knowledgeable about the Vatican and artwork inside. The best tour we’ve taken in Italy, by far. Worth the skip the line ticket and direct access from Sistine Chapel to the Basilica.

Our Vatican Museum tour with our guide Antoinette (Toni) was EXCELLENT! Entering the museum early in the morning and skipping the VERY long line put us in great position to see so much without big crowds. Her knowledge about what we saw and her English were outstanding. She did a wonderful job of setting up our time in the Sistine Chapel before we entered. While we were disappointed that St. Peter's Basilica was closed due to a Jubilee celebration, we did get the surprise of seeing Pope Leo when he made an appearance in the square. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

You spent a lot of time outside before you entered the Vatican. It was very cold and windy, I felt like we could’ve eliminated some of this time. Our Guide spoke English, but it kind of ran together. It was difficult to understand.

We have done several Viator tours over the years. This tour was a fast paced tour that hit the highlights, but little else. She was a sweet lady, however, the guide’s English was very broken. My teenaged son understood almost nothing from the guide. I only understood maybe 25%. The guide would repeat or restart, but still not clear. This was sold as an 7 or 8 person max tour. There were 11 people in the group. My family made up 5. We all deserve a partial refund as we were not provided the personal attention which was sold. We spent the first hour looking at a picture of the Sistine Chapel instead of ACTUAL art. AAARRRGGGHHH! We spent too much time on unimportant details, and then not enough time on the important items even if we had no competition from other tours. Finally, when my daughter got separated from the group and we could not find her, the guide’s first concern was getting the radio back, NOT finding my daughter. Other tour group members were happy to help us. All for $880, disappointed. We got much better tours at the Vatican from other guides.

Fantastic tour. Well worth the money. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. You won’t regret it. 1 Timothy 2:5
