Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Express 2-hour Guided Tour

Great guide she knew everything without reading anything

Leo has been such f old tour guide I have learn a lot of history of Vatican and pope etc,, very Respwctful

Leo was amazing. I’d highly recommend this tour to all my friends and family.

Our guide was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Price was very expensive, but that has nothing to do with our tour guide. Overall great experience.

Toured the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Absolutely stunning places. Be prepared for large crowds but the tour line moved relatively fast (40 min). Abigail was our tour guide and she kept us informed the whole time. Since this was more of an express experience we didn’t stop at many exhibitions. That was okay because what we did see was phenomenal. I have a whole new appreciation for Italian artists.

Wow, what an experience! Definitely paid off pre-booking and opting for the 'Express' option. We were in a group of about 16-18 and our guide, Paulina, was brilliant. She provided brilliant commentary and managed to find space in the various areas to point out particular points of interest.

Cecilia was absolutely amazing. She was extremely charismatic, knowledgeable, and absolutely fun. I would definitely take another tour with her again.

We had a great experience on our Vatican tour. The tour was well organized, interesting, and enjoyable from start to finish. We learned a lot about the Vatican, its history, and the incredible art and architecture. Overall, it was a very good experience and definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Rome. We would happily recommend this tour to others visiting the Vatican! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Leo was a great guide and very informative. I would definitely recommend this tour and guide

We booked 2 tours with City Wonders and we're very happy with both- Vatican Museum and the Coliseum. The sights were both dramatic and memorable. Both guides, Rossela and Fabio were very knowledgeable and energetic. They made the tours.

Excellent tour. Highly recommend it. Great value. Knowledgeable guides. Had a great experience. Many thanks!!

We recently booked our tour through Head out with City Wonders and loved it!!! Paola Goggioli Was a gem, she is an art historian with great insights! Good stories and kept us all informed. She went above and beyond and even helped with us getting into the St Peter’s Basilica! The Vatican, Sistine Chapel tour was beautiful and the ability to cut the lines made this tour worth the money!

Very nice. Thank you Leonardo.

Liza was great, really fun and engaging. Her passion for all things Michael Angelo is infectious. We travelled as a trio, age range 17-56 and we all said she made the day. It really is a whistle stop tour so wear very comfortable shoes, and take lots of snacks, we were exhausted!

Eliza was a great tour guide. She was very enthusiastic and entertaining.

Leo was excellent and very informative. Great tour,

Out tour guide Isam was excellent. Very knowledgeable and solicited questions. I learned a lot!

Excellent. Leo very good guide, and informative .

Sandra did a spectacular job with our entire group, not only navigating through tons of people but explaining everything as thoroughly as possible. excellent experience and would recommend.

Eliza is an excellent tour guide and very well knowledgeable about the Vatican. She was very organized and friendly.

Great time . Leo is the greatest tour guide , you will enjoy your visit

We had an amazing tour that didn’t include St. Peter’s basilica but at the end we were able to visit a very full and excellent tour with our guide Iman who even allowed us to go down official hallway of pope at the end. Just a great experience highly recommend!!!

Our guide did a great job! She kept the group together in a very crowded area and was very knowledgeable.

Excellent tour. Our guide Laura was exceptional. Very knowledgeable with perfect English language.

Our guide, Ilaria, did an amazing job guiding us through the Vatican museum with only 2 hours to work with. She highlighted the important works and artifacts and provided very interesting commentary (I think she is an art history nut! 😎)

Leo was AWESOME! Really great experience.

The tour guide was amazing and extra helpful. The artwork is mind blowing!

Our guide Oscar was very informative and entertaining. We really enjoyed the visit of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. However we were NOT impressed that we were not given our tickets for St Peter's Basilica when we had paid for it.

The guide created a fun and educational experience for all to enjoy, she took great care of everyone in the group to ensure that all could take full advantage of our time there

Our Guide was amazing! such a wonderful day!

Paula was great. The Vatican itself was a bit hot and crowded. Paula was enjoyable and kind.

Our guide was great. She had a lot of interesting stories and they were non-stop. Enjoyed the tour much more than if we only had an audio guide.

We did the 2 hour express tour due to time constraints but found it to be long enough for us. So glad we had a guide (Olga) as can’t imagine trying to navigate the Vatican alone. Olga did a great job of keeping the group together and was very informative. She also managed to keep to the time schedule which can’t be easy with the colossal footfall! Extremely pleased we paid extra for a guid and fast track admission, it’s well worth it when you see the queues (we were inside in approximately 5 minutes). You can’t go to Rome without visiting the Vatican!

We had an amazing Vatican tour with Leo! Seeing the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica was absolutely unforgettable. Leo was knowledgeable, engaging, and made everything easy to follow without feeling rushed. I highly recommend booking a small group tour there were only 10 people in our group, which made it so much easier to keep up, ask questions, and really enjoy the experience without feeling crowded. One of the highlights of our Italy trip for sure!

Leo is fantastic, knowledgeable and easy to follow. Thanks again for a fantastic visit to the Basilica.

I recently had a great few hours in a Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel 2 hour guided express tour with Martina & City Wonders. Martina was a terrific guide & really knew her subjects. She barely stopped talking the whole time - one interesting fact or story after another. I highly recommend the tour - it also helps the looong queue (for a much shorter one) to get in.

Abigail was so kind and friendly. She continued to keep count of everyone in our group and made sure no one got lost as it was very busy. She was entertaining as she told us about the highlights in the museum. She explained a lot about Michelangelo and Rafael. Thank you Abigail!

The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide, Nicoletta, was very nice and very knowledgeable. She was great with questions and gave a lot of insights into the art, the buildings, and the history.

The tour was very informative, our guide was a little difficult to understand, but i got most of it. Recommend you plan to stay another couple hours, this tour doesn't show you everything. You could spend all day here and not see everything.

Ally with City Wonders tours was the BEST guide for our visit yo the Vatican. She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Thank you!

Our guide LEO was fantastic, clearly and did not rush the tour. Answered all questions . A must book!!

We loved our tour with Cristina. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. She had the perfect pace and was able to keep us engaged throughout the tour. Highly recommend and very efficient.

Our guide Iman was amazing. He had so much knowledge and passion and was so helpful and was able to get us through the queues so we weren’t wasting anytime. He was by far the best guide we had on all the tours we did in Rome.

We had the Vatican museum tour with Iman. It was great! He was very attentive and we had the feeling the entire tour that he really cared about us and our experience. He was excellent and made the day special (especially for my partner as it was his birthday the day of the tour!) The tour was straight forward everything went very smoothly and skipping the long queue was great! Iman showed us all extra parts of the museum which was very special. Would absolutely recommend Iman especially to others as he was such a great guide. Very good at what he does!! Thanks again Iman!

Sabrina, did a great job with the tour. The explanations of the different structures and paintings were easy to understand and the organization of the tour in general by city wonder was great. Highly recommend using them and having Sabrina has your guide is an added bonus.

Sabina was wonderful! Informative, entertaining and got us through the museum/tour easily.

Such a thorough interesting tour that made the beautiful but slightly overwhelming Vatican Museums - Leonardo made us feel welcome, kept us informed, offered facts and explanations of each of the rooms/history. It was more than a tour as Leonardo helped us navigate the lines, security, and gave us suggestions for further discovery. He kept it light and genuinely interesting - 10/10 experience.

The crowds are terrible but our guide Giuseppe really helped us enjoy our visit. He is very knowledgeable but even more, he shared his love of this amazing place and its art. He was more than happy at the end of the tour to give the two of us more information and have a chat. After a less happy experience the day before at the Borghese Gallery (with a different company) we felt the expense of booking this tour was definitely worth it, thanks to him.

We had an 8 AM tour and the experience is a little hectic (so be prepared) but this comes with the territory of visiting such a popular place. Check in was easy before the tour and our guide was knowledgeable and professional. I specifically looked for a tour that was on the shorter side because we were traveling with kids 10 & 12 and knew they could only take in so much. We enjoyed seeing the sculptures, tapestries and map exhibits and of course the highlight of the tour was the Sistine chapel. The tour also ends with a private entrance for tour groups into St. Peter’s Basilica. This alone is a huge time saver because you avoid the line to enter the Basilica which can extend around St. Peter’s square. The tour didn’t include inside St. Peter’s Basilica but our tour guide added 15 minutes inside as a courtesy.
