Vatican tour!!!!
Amazing!!!! The artifacts in the Vatican Museum are stunning. The frescoes throughout are breathtaking. And there really aren’t words to describe the Sistine Chapel amd St Peter’s Basilica. Fabio our guide was fantastic. So knowledgeable if you can get on a tour with him I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had Christian as our guide and had a great experience. We saw all the highlights of both the Vatican museum and St. Peter’s Basilica. We were given around 15-20min in the Sistine Chapel to soak in the art. Prior to entering there, Christian went into great detail about the artwork and what to look for. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything there. You can tell he had a passion for what he was saying, which we appreciated. Highly recommend!

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.

Ways to explore
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.
