Excellent tour!
This tour is very art-focused, which we enjoyed very much, but some people may be interested in experiencing the Vatican from a different perspective. Our guide, Gaga, was SO knowledgeable, and provided very interesting background and perspective on the things we saw. Everything is stunning and there is an overwhelming amount to see, so we were very happy to have someone direct us to the highlights and tell us about what we were looking at, or what to look for. Keep in mind that this a 2 1/2 hour tour, so you will only have time for a small part of the Vatican Museums + Sistene Chapel. If you want to see more of the museums, you either need a full-day tour or to visit on your own. We definitely recommend this tour, though!

Viator came through for us
If you can't plan your Vatican Museum visit before the Museum's own timed-entry tickets for your available dates are sold out, Viator may be able to help. Their "skip-the-line" service isn't exactly cheap, but it looks pretty reasonable if you view it in terms of the value of rescuing your plan. Plus, it's not just the tickets -- their representative literally walked us through the entry process all the way up to the security scan of their voucher, showed us exactly how to proceed from there, and offered some helpful tips on maximizing our enjoyment of the visit. Definitely money well spent!

A fantastic way to experience Vatican City!
Our guide, Lucia, was wonderful! She was pleasant, kind, funny and incredibly knowledgeable and informative. The amount of history - through artifacts and artwork - contained in the Vatican Museums would be overwhelming without someone to offer insights. Our group stopped just enough that we were able to really appreciate the treasures we were seeing. She prepped us well for our time in the Sistine Chapel, and I both appreciated and respected her adherence to their observance of silence in the chapel. She told us she would answer any questions we had after we left the chapel space. And then she hyped us just enough to have our minds blown at the immensity of St. Peter’s Basilica! This tour made the visit to Vatican City a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

No matter how many pictures you've seen, it's more magnificent in person!
We had a wonderful day! Raffy from Liv Tours was our guide. She was wonderful in every way! We were running late! Beware, it is a FULL 2 hour $200 taxi ride from the port in Civitaveccia, so be prepared for this! There were no taxis waiting at 7am, so we were fortunate to ride with 3 Australians who had lined up a car to pick them up. They had paid $238 for the van. We texted Viator and heard back from Liv Tours. They kept in touch with me every bit of the way until we arrived. We had a personal tour for 2 at 9am. We arrived about 9:15 and Raffy assured us she would make it all work. You only have 30 minutes to get inside the Vatican, so that indeed worked out. Raffy was full of information about everything we saw, showed us some short cuts around the big crowds, and got us where we needed to be. She had a wonderful book (which we later bought) that provided great pictures to illustrate what we would see inside. It was helpful to see it in the book before we saw it in person. Every room in the museums are grand! The Sistine Chapel is magnificent. We ended up needing food and drink due to the heat and close conditions. Raffy brought us to the cafeteria. This used valuable time but was necessary. She explained how we could see so much more, even after she had to leave us. She left after 3 hours, but had prepared us for what to see and how to do it to maximize our time. We climbed to the top of the dome. If you are up to it, I think you will love it. It is by far the best view of St Peter's Square. The lines and walk up and down took about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Then we went into St Peter's Basilica, like Raffy told us how to do. She directed us to the Pieta, which you don't want to miss. The church is absolutely grand. I was shocked to see that we had spent nearly 8 hours here! Raffy even told us where to eat afterwards and to use Uber for the best cab rates back to the ship. She was full of helpful hints and knowledge. We strongly recommend Raffy, the Sistine Chapel, St Peter's Basilica, St Peter's square, and the dome climb.
