We have just completed a group tour of Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica with Silvio as our guide, and it was an outstanding experience. Silvio was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history, art, and significance of each site. He provided detailed explanations throughout the tour, answered every question thoroughly, and made the experience both informative and enjoyable. The tour was very well organised, with plenty of time spent at each location without ever feeling rushed. We were initially a little sceptical about booking after being approached in the street, but we are so glad we decided to give this company a chance. Not only was the tour excellent, but it was also far more affordable than many other options we looked at, some of which were charging significantly higher prices. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome and wanting a memorable and informative Vatican experience.

Itinerary
Discover the marvels of the Vatican on Vatican Hill Tours. Be mesmerized by Michelangelo’s world famous Sistine Chapel and Last Judgement, visit the Raphael Rooms and hear the stories behind the renowned “School of Athens”. With our Reserved Entrance, you can head straight into the Vatican to explore the museums with your dedicated expert guide. Headsets allow you to hear the stories your art historian guide will tell as they bring these works to life. Tours are limited to 20 people, and the Vatican is quieter than ever. With reduced capacity and fewer crowds, feel like a VIP as you wander the quiet corridors and explore the museum in peace with your safety as a priority.
The Sistine Chapel is one of the most famous religious and artistic landmarks in the world, located within the Vatican Palace in Vatican City. Built between 1473 and 1481 for Pope Sixtus IV—after whom it is named—the chapel serves as the pope’s personal place of worship and the site of major ceremonies, including the election of new popes.

Exactly as advertised. It was a very easy pickup process and the ‘skip the line’ line moved very quickly.
It was an amazing trip and Tour with the group of people and Excelent Tourguide Maria. Few hours gone as a srcond , lots of historical facts and story in a wounderfull place as Vatican city. Its a Memory forever. Thanks to Maria for incredible tour❣️🙏
Getting the tickets and entry was fast and easy. The ticket said we had a earphone guide included but we couldn't figure out what that was. It was very crowded and felt rushed at times.
The voucher pick up was seamless and directions to meeting spot at museum entrance was precise. The line immediately opened up at the exact time. The self guided experience was great because we could move at our own pace. The Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel was phenomenal.
The guide is very kind and explained a lot of things well. Cheapest for what we can choose of the same experience.
I don't know any other religious establishment in the world that would charge nearly €160 euros for 2 adults to have a 2 hour guided walk round inside of a museum building and see sistine Chapel, even though beautiful inside. I understand it has to be paid for but It's simply not worth this kind of money. Asked Independent traveller's who had queued for an hour and only paid approx €20 and €40 each.
This was a spur of the moment decision to book and we probably paid the price for that, at 70 Euros each I felt it was a high cost, however at the time I felt it was worth the money. The tour was interesting, we didn’t have to queue and was straight in after passing a light security check, we were provided with headsets to listen to the guide talking. She was knowledgeable and provided a great explanation of all the sights. The tour was through and lasted about 2.5 hours in total. We also visited the Sistine chapel, which was interesting, we were told no photos and no talking but not many people observed that. We never had to queue at all and the pace of the tour was great giving enough time to take in all the sites. Overall, a good experience, but once you have done it once you don’t need to return again. My top tip, book this before you arrive in Rome, you will save a lot of money for the same experience.
We really enjoyed this skip the line experience. All on time and good service. Would recommend booking with this company. Make sure you arrive on time (we were there 10mins before).
Amazing tour with a professional and nice guide Alexander. Explaining clear and emphatic descriptions
Vatican Hill Tours! The operator was very unorganized showed no concern of what you thought. Tours left earlier than scheduled time then said it was the customers fault when they arrived before the scheduled departure. I would suggest just buying your entrance ticket at the museum ticket counter and we didn’t even make to the Sistine Chapel. Last entry is 4:00 or Vatican Museum time started at 3:30.
The operator needs better training of staff and customer service. I also question the value for money.
Did exactly what it said it would! Reminder the night before with exact details where to meet.. Massively long queues outside & people everywhere. We skipped the queue with our guides help, through security quickly , waited a short time while they went & got our tickets. Explained where we needed to go & left us to our own devices to roam the Vatican museum & onto the Sistine Chapel. Perfect !
It was too crowded and the guided tour was blocking my path, which was stressful. I don't want to go there anymore and I don't recommend it. It's not the travel agency's fault, though.
Visite agréable, récupération des billets simple et rapide . Amabilité de la personne de l'agence parlant français. En revanche, le personnel de filtrage à l'entrée du musée n'est pas aimable
Capela ápice foi o ápice de tão lindo! Ver as obras originais de perto não tem preço. Foi muito bom!
Luogo senza tempo,velocita'nel reperire i biglietti,ingresso senza fila! Consigliatatissimo acquisto con prenotazione impeccabile!
Organisation très speciale. On nous a donne un stickers on a attendu comme des moutons qu'un homme pas très sympathique ( il a soufflé quand on lui a dit qu'on était français après qu'il ait demandé) On aurait dit des enfants qui se faisaient rouspeter dans la cour de recreation.
