Guided Tour Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel , St Peter's Basilica

Lots of walking. Our tour guide was excellent. It was helpful to have the guided tour. We did not go to the top but if you have a chance try it.

The tour was supposed to be 3 hours and was only an hour and a half. Our tour guide could not have been less enthusiastic about it. We missed so much of the rooms because she didn’t really seem like she wanted to be there. Nearly put me to sleep standing up. Definitely not worth $150 a piece.

Our tour time was scheduled for 930. The day before I received a text with instructions to arrive 20 minutes early. We arrived at 9am and were told they sent an email that morning moving our tour time to 10AM. Very poor way to communicate that. We stood outside on the sidewalk for an hour waiting for our guide. The guide was very knoweledgabe and passionate about the history of the Vatican. She was very informative.

The listing stated that the tour would run for approximately 3 hours and include the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St Peter’s Basilica. In reality, the guided component lasted around 1 hour, which was significantly shorter than advertised. In addition, some of the advertised tour components were not covered, resulting in us not having the correct tickets for all areas. Consequently, we were required to wait in line for over one hour to purchase additional tickets in order to access parts of St Peter’s Basilica. This completely defeated the purpose of booking a guided, skip-the-line experience. The tour was misleading compared to the description provided at the time of booking, and had this been accurately represented, we would have chosen a different tour provider. Given the price and the inaccurate listing, this experience was extremely disappointing - I would not recommend this tour.

Very knowledgeable. Easy meet. The museum was crazy busy, but the guide tried to keep us together. Recommend.

Excellent tour guide Mauricio was amazing he knew every little detail and made the entire experience

It was impactful. The guide knowledgeable and friendly. That was a lot of learn. The building is immense. The tour was inspiring.

Our tour guy Alex was punctual and very knowledgeable. He explained everything in details. He was patient, cleared and patiently guided us through the crowd of the Vatican. We really enjoyed his tour today. Thank you Alex & best wishes to you!

Honestly this tour was not worth the money. The skip the line ticket entrance was actually like $30 USD per person for the museum and sistine chapel. Everything else was payment for tour and fees im guessing. However, you don’t really get much interesting info from the tour and since it is so crowded inside, having such a big group only made it worse. In our case, apparently the st peter’s basilica was “suddenly” closed for the day, we couldn’t even go. No body told us prior to the day, we were informed at the meeting point. When I reached out to request a partial refund, the contact tour person said he tried contacting me but there was no response. Mind you, he could’ve sent a message through this same app or even texted on whatsapp, introducing himself and explaining why he was reaching out, but he didn’t. Instead, he called me several times in the morning through whatsapp and of course, I did not answer to a random man I don’t know, calling me while I was sleeping. On a positive note, I got my partial refund fairly quick which was $30. Overall, I honestly didn’t think it was worth it. Even if we would’ve gone to the basilica, it would’ve still been overpriced since the basilica entrance was free.

Laura is a brilliant and lovely lady to have on your Vatican tour. Very helpful and taking care of the group. She has so much knowledge about the historie and the place. She keeps it interested for everyone. We had a lovely tour with her, highly recommended….

Very nice tour to join, this is a must in Rome! you want to skip the line and get right in the Vatican Museums. The tour guide went above and beyond to explain everything.

Be ready to expect crowded, it would be better to have more time or pauses. In order to view the museum, also consider that for seniors going to fast it's hard, and suggest not allow children under 6 years

Alex was a great tour guide for the Vatican museum. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept the group on track on a very busy day. There are so many amazing works of art In the museum, I would have never been able to focus on the most important works of art without a guide. The St. Peter Cathedral was not included in the tour due to the Jubilee (I visited in March 2025) but could still visit it on my own. Worth the extra time

The key experience that drew me to this particular experience was the opportunity to visit the papal tombs and our tour never did visit this area. Nonetheless, the experience of visiting even a small portion of the Vatican Museum was an amazing experience that should not be missed.

Vatican City was magical - blessed: to be able to have gone during jubilee 2025- our tour guide was so great- very knowledgable- our group was small and manageable during a busy day.

The guide was fantastic and the owner of the tour company was very accommodating. Highly recommend this tour.
