Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Skip-the-Line Tickets

Joyce_O, May 2026

Skip the line-- 100% worth it!

Getting the skip-the-line tickets was absolutely worth it—especially after seeing the very long queues just to enter the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Once inside, it was an incredible sight to behold. No photo can truly capture the beauty and detail; it’s something you have to experience in person to fully appreciate

Pompeii from Rome with Optional Mt. Vesuvius & Pizza Lunch

Catherine_G, May 2026

Must do day trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius!

Amazing day that included 2 hours touring Pompeii with an archeologist guide who provided incredible insights, time to climb Mt Vesuvius and enjoy the views across the Bay of Naples and along the Amalfi coast, as well as lunch and a few snack breaks. Our guide, Kler, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional and managed to balance insightful information about our tour without overloading us with information. Paolo, our bus driver, was also fabulous.

Discover the Vatican

Our guide, Eugene, was fantastic!!! Not only did he provide so much information but he genuinely reflected his love of God and his calling to tell people about the Vatican. I highly recommend this experience. We had 8 in the group and by the time we parted we were all friends!

Outstanding Tour Guide and Well Organized Tour

First, Stefano aka Kermit was the BEST tour guide we’ve ever had whether with a Viator excursion or another company. He was prompt, personable, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and he TRULY LOVES what he does. He should be in charge of training all your other tour guides. 2. The Vatican tour is the most organized tour I’ve ever been on. They know how to keep thousands of people moving effortlessly through their property. You’d never know you were spending the afternoon with thousands of people. My only complaint was the earpiece we each had to wear for the first part of the tour. Mine would not stay on so I either had to stand next to my guide to listen to him talk or hold the piece to my ear. The second part of our tour we were assigned new listening devices and I was able to plug in my earbuds that I had in my backpack.

Would definitely recommend to avoid all the extra long queues. Special metion to the lovely young guide that escorted us into the Vatican. So friendly, informative and considerate as he recognised my elderly father needed some extra help and time. Wish I had got his name. Many thanks to him.

Dream Tourism via Viator...

Dream Tourism via Viator is a good option. I couldn’t get tickets through the original website, so I used the TripAdvisor/Viator website. Dream Tourism communicated well through the Viator app. I received a PDF of my tickets a few days before. I was also instructed to download the official Colosseum app, MyColosseum. Some reviewers have mentioned audio glitches, but the accompanying text is read by audio. Watching YouTube history videos beforehand is better. To be overly prepared, meet the Dream Tourism before the tour. The guide stands near the Arch of Constantine’s benches. They ensure we have tickets, the app, and direct us to lines for the Colosseum and Palantine Hill. Tickets were unavailable through the official Colosseum website, so this was a good option. Alternatively, you could stand in long lines on the day of purchase.

Take the tour!

This was my third tour of Vatican / Sistine Chapel. I learned more on this tour and the two previous combined. Fred is an archaeologist, and he spoke for the entire three hours, nonstop, providing an unbelievable amount of historical, religious, societal, and cultural information. I would never see anything this important without a guide. You will be missing a lot of really important information, plus standing in line for hours. Five stars. Came with friends, family, daughter and husband. All were happy!

Great experience

Fred our tour guide was great, knowledgeable (an archeogist by trade) great humour and very informative. The tour was organized, easy to navigate, their offices are right next to the museum entrance. Pricing was very fair compared to others. We did the full tour including st Peter's Basilica, that was the highlight for us. Thanks Fred from us in Vancouver Canada

A taste of Pompeii and Sorrento.....

My family of three enjoyed this trip with our guide, Mikkela who was very friendly, kind, knowledgeable and a very fast walker. Set your expectations correctly for this trip and you will enjoy it. This was our first visit to Pompeii, and it was very interesting and impressive. We didn't realize the city was so vast. The time spent here was jam packed. The Pompeii specific guide mentioned one could spend 2-3 days and 4-5 hours per day since there is so much to see. The tour guide provided a timesaving option for a take-out pizza lunch to eat on the bus after the Pompeii visit. We opted for this and shared a pizza which was just ok and enough to keep away any hunger pains. The Limoncello factory 15-minute stop was not of interest to us, so we took pictures of the Sorrento coast and had a lemonade slushie (delicious) rather than tasting the liquors and candy. This was also our first visit to Sorrento so for this stop we followed the guide down to get a view of the beach and then my husband and I relaxed on a terrace with a drink and enjoyed the view. My daughter did some window shopping in the town. We were fortunate to take this tour in March when the weather is nice but it is not peak season when Sorrento would be so crowded. The tour was well organized and fast paced. The bus was comfortable for the 12-hour trip and the driver very professional.

Awe Inspiring Experience!

Unbelievable experience!!! We were fortunate enough to have Neomi as our guide, late October 2025. Her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm took our tour to another level! This is a “behind the scenes,” literally “underground” tour! DO NOT pass up this destination!!

Salvador_G, Sep 2025

Vatican tour

I had a wonderful time with this tour. Our tour guide Alessandra helped us make it inside the Vatican as swift as possible considering how hectic the entrance can be. In this tour you’ll be able to take a shortcut to get you to the Sistine chapel and another for Saint Peter’s Basilica. It’s a nice detail considering how many people visit the Vatican everyday. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone. Highly recommend.

Serena is the best!

Serena was absolutely incredible to tour the colosseum and forum with. She was very thoughtful about our experience, answered all of our questions and was extremely knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience (except that we wish we booked more time and places!). Thank you Serena.
