Wonderful Day in Vatican City
We had an amazing time in Vatican City with an our very knowledgeable guide. The crowds were crazy but obviously that cannot be helped. So glad to have seen the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica and Square.

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

Not tour for both Vatican Museums & St. Peter’s.
7 people didn’t show up for the tour & the kind tour guide, Alexandra, waited. So, we got started late in the rain. No such thing as “skip the line”. Alexandra was an excellent guide. The tour of the Museum exceeded our expectations. But, it ran too long & we couldn’t get into St. Peter’s Basilica.

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.

Vatican Is Breathtaking!
Sistine Chapel and St.Peter’s Basilica tour was fascinating and highly educational due to our fantastic guide Vivienne. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Tour
Sabina is amazing. She gives so much personality and insight. St Peter’s Basilica is breathtaking. Her knowledge as a local makes the tour.

Olympia!
The entire tour lasted over four hours because of the crowds. Olympia was a fantastic tour guide. Friendly, funny, and always watching out for us. She was informative about the best vantage points, where to get pictures, locations of the toilets and when to sit for a rest. We were able to attend Mass at St. Peter's Basilica at the end of the tour which was a highlight of our trip.

Misleading
We really enjoyed our tour guide Amy. She was wonderful, knowledgable, and funny. Our only complaint is that our tour stated that it included Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica, but it did NOT cover the basilica at all. We waited 1.5 hours in the general public line AFTER the tour was over to visit it.

Amazing Vatican Tour with Leo!
We had a wonderful experience touring the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica! Our guide, Leo, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience both interesting and enjoyable. We learned so much and had a great time exploring these incredible sites. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Leo as your guide!

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.

Highly recommend!
This was so worth it. The religious significance alone is worth the underground tour. Our guide was very good and she made sure we all saw what we needed to see. The magnificence of St, Peter’s Basilica would have been overwhelming if we did not have Sabrina walking us through it all. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything. She did an excellent tour.

How to get there
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.
