Vatican tour
Great tour- worth the heat to see the Sistine chapel and St.Peters Basilica. Wonderful art and history. Our guide informed us of all the highlights before we entered the chapel so we could point them out while in the room.

Exceptional experience!...
Exceptional experience! Go deeper than the catacombs into roman mausoleums and see St Peters tomb. Uneven ground with stairs and occasional low ceilings. We enjoyed our own walk around St Peters Basilica following, with amazing climb up to the view from the dome.

Great Tour Guide!
Even though the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica were super crowded, our tour guide was able to bypass some of the masses to make it a very pleasant experience.
She was also very knowledgeable and told us the history story-book style instead of just a bunch of dates and names.

Best tour guide & great overall Vatican tour
This is a great overall tour if Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica. Our tour guide was Maximus(?) and he also worked as a Vatican tour guide. His knowledge of all things Vatican related was amazing. His passion for this place was contagious. I do wish the Vatican would in force the quiet policy in the Sistine Chapel but that’s not the tour company issue. Timing was great and skip the line was a must. Easy to find checkin spot that was very close to entrance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our...
We thoroughly enjoyed our Vatican tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable! Our tour did not include St Peter’s Basilica but she even provided us advice on where to go for that and the best time to go.

See an icon without the long queues.
Brilliant way to see St Peter's Basilica & the Sistine Chapel, without the queues.
The guides took us right through the line-up without having to wait.
The commentary by Francesca was fresh and interesting.
Our party of 2 was late, but Franceska welcomed us when we caught up with the rest of the group.
We saw so much, and then had the opportunity to go back and see more in further detail. A great tour of a landmark attraction.

Best tour of Vatican, Sistine and St Peter's Basilica
Amazing tour with super knowledgeable guide on history and all the the important sites within the vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. Highly recommended A+++

Informative but too short and too big a group for the price
The tour was very informative, but in order to really take everything in, a smaller group would have been nicer. In addition, 3 hours is really not enough time to see and look at everything. The best part of this tour is the skip the line access and the ability to get into St Peter’s Basilica right after the Sistine Chapel. It was also a bit difficult to understand the guide’s English at times.

When to visit

Be prepared for security lines similar to those at airports, including metal detectors, bag scanners, and potentially long waits.
This is one of the most popular attractions in all of Italy, so crowds are nearly inevitable.
The Basilica of St. Peter has a strict dress code—no bare shoulders, midriffs, or knees—and you won't be allowed in unless you adhere to it.
A skip-the-line tour of the Vatican Museums that includes St. Peter's enables you to bypass the basilica's long entry lines; you still have to go through the security check.
Climbing the dome atop the Basilica to take in the fantastic views over St. Peter's Square, requires a ticket.
