Very informative and entertaining tour of the vatican museum and st.peters basillica. Well worth the money as otherwise you don't understand the history behind things. The lines are super long even early in the morning so its good to get to skip past them. Our guide had a background in geology so had a lot of interesting information about the sculptures. A nice small group too so you can ask questions. I would definitely recommend this company to any friends looking to book a tour in Rome.

Unbelievable! An individual state in the middle of a historically significant empire! No wonder it has stood the test of time and still to this day is a certified centre of unbelievable beauty. I have been an atheist for most of my adult life, and even I can say that I was moved.. spiritually, emotionally, and I will remember this momentus day trip for the rest of my life!!

Well worth the money. Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. She kept everyone moving through the crowds. Definitely buy to skip the line. It's insanely long.

We booked on to the tour of the Vatican museum and it was the highlight of our trip to Rome. I've never been keen on group tours but Lucia, our guide, was exceptional. She was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of interesting facts and history of the Vatican. I loved every minute of the tour. A huge plus of booking on the tour was skipping the queues! The line for the prebooked individual ticket holders was sooo long... looked like a couple of hours wait and we went at 9am in the morning! Would highly recommend both the company and Lucia the guide. She was amazing!

We were glad we booked a tour as we thought it would be easier and manage our time better as we were only in Rome for 3 days. This company was excellent, as was the tour guide. It was simple to find the office and get booked in. They were all very friendly and helpful.

The tour started on time and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and open to questions.

When we arrived at the entrance to start the tour just before 9 am I would suggest the Q outside for those without tickets was already over an hour long. We walked straight in and got right into the tour.

We had headsets through the Museum which was great, it meant we could see everything but not have to be always right beside our guide. On occasion, the headsets cut out but that was more about the buildings than anything else, wasn't an issue.

Unless you're planning to spend the whole day there and don't want to go at the pace of a tour I would highly recommend booking one. Skipping the lines and having someone else do all the work gives you the time to take in the surroundings and not worry about the stress of getting in and it would be very stressful!

The group size was not too big, about 20 people. Communication was really good, after I booked there was a further message the day before the tour asking me to check in and confirm we were attending.

I would highly recommend this company, couldn't fault them from start to finish.

A point to note based on previous reviews I read before booking: Regardless of when you visit, it will be busy. Some times way more busy than others. You are going to have to accept that. Not the tour company that controls numbers, the Vatican does.

At times you do feel as if you are being swept along with the crowd. Even when the Guide stopped trying to explain something the Vatican staff were moving her along. The same will happen without a guide.

My Husband & I are so thankful we were able to book a Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St Peter’s Basilica Group Tour with this Company while in ROMA, ITALY….

Our Guide Nadiya was GREAT!!! (Pic included). She was Extremely knowledgeable & very informative about all the pieces with the VATICAN MUSEUM, Sistine Chapel & St Peter’s Basilica.
It was so nice to be provide have all the information before entering the Sistine Chapel. You are not allowed to talk or take pictures once you enter the Sistine Chapel. This Tour is a must see & do if you do not do anything else in ROMA.
The St Peter’s Basilica is breath taking. The Vatican has over 9000 artifacts in their Museum.

We were there on Wed. April 26th. I really don’t know how you would have enjoyed these places if you went on your own. It is very crowd with people & I highly recommend taking a Group Tour with this company. We were provide a small headset so we could hear Nadiya talk as we walked thru the Vatican Museum.
It was worth every penny $$.

Important: Be sure to invest in good walking shoes because you will be walking a lot for 2-3 hours on this tour. We were already prepared & our feet thanked us 😁
