Core memory in Rome
The Vatican Museums are vast and frankly, a bit overwhelming on its own. I wouldn’t attempt to take a self guided tour as you will get lost in the crowd at some point. However, our guide MARIA, did a great job of directing the “flock” to the most compelling pieces and stories. This was all shared with a passion and knowledge of this inspiring place. The Sistine Chapel, St. Peters Basilica were mind bending in mastery and scale. So much to take in and a lot was learned. Worth it.

Very nicely organized guided tour of the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. The meeting point was clearly communicated and the tour began on time. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour with Doriana
I have a walking disability and almost opted for a wheelchair which would have rendered me unable to see the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica.
The tour company talked me into skipping the wheelchair and I’m glad I did. Our guide, Doriana, was patient and super informative and new all the shortcuts, elevators and places to sit which helped immensely.
My daughter and I both loved our afternoon with her. We learned so many things that our heads are spinning…in a good way.
Grazie Doriana

Vatican and St. Peter’s Tour with Tour Guide Cossimo
Our family of 4 had a great tour of the Vatican museum and St. Peter’s Basilica with Cossimo as our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the history and artwork of everything on our tour. He had an answer for any question that was asked. Additionally he was full of personality and humor as well which made the tour so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and hope that you get Cossimo as your guide!

Didnt actually get the guided tour as arrived a little late.
Tour staff still had my ticket for my entry to the Vatican and gave me directions of where to go and how to then get to St Peter's Basilica.

Highlight of our trip to Rome
Everything was perfect. Caroline was a terrific guide. She explained so much about everything in the Vatican museum and told us so much about what we were going to see in the Sistine Chapel. Then she walked us around St. Peter’s Basilica at the end which was an incredible experience. She never rushed us and stopped repeatedly to make sure everyone in our group of 19 was accounted for. This was a great tour and the highlight of our trip to Rome.

Our include the St Peter's Basilica due to the Pope's sermon which we learned is on Wednesday mornings. Was very disappointed. Make sure you do not book a tour during this time.

Enjoyable Day In Vatican City
Aoki did a great job guiding us through the maze of the museum grounds and provided a lot of interesting information. The museums are beautiful, the Sistine Chapel amazing and St Peter’s Basilica was very impressive. A great experience to the world’s smallest country! 🤔😁

We enjoyed our tour of the Vatican museum and St Peter’s basilica. Our guide Ursus, helped us navigate through the crowds, got us into the Sistine Chapel before it was too crowded, and provided just the right amount of detail about what we were seeing.

Grazie Mille Carl
Carl our guide is so great in communicating safety instructions & we are very well informed every step ahead. He had made a crowded tour experience very calm & enjoyable. His humor & knowledge made the dry historic facts more interesting. Overall the guided tour is well worth it. I would strongly recommend our tour guide to anyone planning the same trip.

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.
