Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy
Vatican Museums: The plural is used, because there are: an Art Gallery, an Egyptian and an Etruscan Museum, the Contemporary Art Museum, the Museums of Classical and Grego-Roman Antiquities, the Philatelic and Numismatic Museum and the Ethnological Museum; then there are the Gallery of Tapestries and that of Geographical Maps and the majestic Sistine Chapel. Our guides, all with Vatican accreditation, will be able to accompany you through the absolute masterpieces and precious collections of the Vatican Museums, making you discover important details, which you surely would not have even noticed.

Stop At: Sistine Chapel, Viale Vaticano, 00165 Vatican City Italy
The visit will continue in the splendid Sistine Chapel, where you will learn everything about the history of Michelangelo's magnificent masterpiece, but also interesting anecdotes, such as for example that of the self-portrait without bones, which the artist painted precisely to underline that he would have preferred to be skinned alive rather than repaint the Sistine Chapel.

The tour itself was good with a small group of 6 and a pleasant guide although we passed by a few room exhibits. The wait was an issue as my appointment time was bumped an hour and then I was passed from one guide to another about 3 times I think. Was bummed to see the other couples paid $40-80 for their ticket and mine was $180 🤔

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Vatican Tour in Rome, and it was an awe-inspiring experience that surpassed all expectations. The month of January set the perfect backdrop for exploring the Vatican City, adding a touch of tranquility to this divine adventure.

In my travels to Italy I have booked several trips with Viator. I have been impressed with the proactive outreach and communication. Your firm is very organized and I appreciate that very much. I also appreciated how kind and knowledgeable our tour guide was for the Vatican tour. I know that he worked hard to share information with us, unfortunately his local dialect was so pronounced that we, along with many members our tour were not able to understand much of what I am sure was very insightful historical knowledge. If we come back to Rome, we'll likely need to do the tour again with someone else to learn what our guide wanted to share.

Guide arrived 25mins late (due to traffic) as the 32 people waiting (small group?) we were told to be there 15 mins early… not the best start. Tour was ok but tons of walking - why do guides insist on talking to the group while the group is stood for 20mins? Please let people sit before you talk for any length of time. Tour itself was good but only 10 mins in Sistine Chapel- we were herded like sheep… not the best experience to be fair.

Skipping the line was awesome as it was 100 degrees outside and extremely packed with visitors. Our guide Paolo, was extremely knowledgeable, humorous, and really tried to fit in all that he could into the time that we had. We did feel a little rushed, because any time we wanted to stop and take pictures, we had to try to find and catch up with the group. (One of our ear pieces also died about halfway through the tour so I missed a lot of what Paolo was saying.) Overall, we were happy with the tour, especially how quickly we got in, but we would have liked to not have felt so rushed :)

Best way to experience the Vatican during a very busy season. The entrance into the museum itself can be a little hectic but trust your guide. They know what they are doing.

The Vatican exceeded all of our expectations. From the beauty of the Sistine Chapel to the majesty of St. Peter's Basilica, every aspect of our visit was incredible. The guided tour was informative and engaging, and we learned so much about the history and significance of this iconic destination. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome.

We had a great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. You can skip a very long queue and the tour ends on the street. The guide emanuela is very profissional and educate.
