Book this amazing tour!
Definitely book the Skip-the-Line Group Tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's Basilica. You will learn so much from your guides and not have to wait in those very long lines. There are so many details in all areas that you may miss if doing this experience on your own. The amount of knowledge each guide shared with the group was wonderful. highly recommend.

The tour of the Vatican...
The tour of the Vatican and surrounding museums was amazing! Love the skip the line option - still had to wait a bit, but nothing like if we did not have pre-purchased tickets. The Sistine Chapel was under renovation so we were unable to see one wall. St Peter’s Basilica was absolutely stunning and moving! We were able to witness a mass in session. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Great tour of the Vatican
Great tour!!
Our guide was knowledgeable, kept a great pace, and we were able to see everything notable at the Vatican. The balance between the guided part and the ability to explore on our own a bit was perfect.
We visited the Vatican Museum, the gardens, the Sistine Chapel, and St Peter’s Basilica and Square.
Highly recommend!

This tour was one of the highlights of our recent family trip to Rome over the holidays. Nadiya was the best guide! We loved her enthusiasm and energy, especially first thing in the morning. As promised, we bypassed the long lines and enjoyed incredible views from the top of the dome. We learned so much as Nadiya shared the history and art of St Peter’s Basilica.

Simone was a fantastic guide. So informative about the history of Rome, the Sistine chapel etc. it was so interesting and St. Peter’s Basilica is one of the most amazing churches I have ever been to.
Amazing place and amazing tour, which I would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful but that was a LOT of stairs!
The Vatican was amazing. St. Peter’s Basilica is truly a marvel, GO EARLY! It gets absolutely mobbed! This tour was great, I am so upset I cannot remember my guides name because he was so good! Very kind and knowledgeable. My one thing is if you are going to the top of the dome that stair climb is BRUTAL. Do not do that if you have any heart condition.

Make the most of your time!
Wonderful day and great opportunity to see and understand so much in a short period of time. Spending this time on our own would have been a waste!!

This was a great tour....
This was a great tour. Loved our tour guides the one we started and ended with often went on very long tangents. Tour more like 3 1/2 hours and a little too long. Could offer water breaks.

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.
