I would highly recommend Rome Walks if you want to make maximum use of limited time at Vatican City. Our guide, Michael, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all there was to see. Although the tour was 4 hours long, you really need much longer. I recommend taking their tour and then staying longer on your own to see even... More

My wife and I, accompanied by our son and his wife and our daughter and her husband took a small group 4-hour tour of the Vatican and St. Peters. Our guide, Francesca, was outstanding. The tour was on May 14th, at the height of the tourist season and the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's were very crowded. Francesca... More

This should be on your list when going to Rome, a must see. I highly recommend a guided tour, we pre paid ours already from Sydney. I could not believe the queues when we got there, we were so lucky that we were able to meet our guide and then go in a small group without waiting. His information was... More

The Vatican City is a must see in Rome. My biggest advice is to take a guided tour that is prepaid. The lines are very long to buy tickets and do your own thing. While it is a bit pricey, it beats standing in lines all day. The only way to go. More

Again a must see if you are in Rome. I strongly recommend a guided tour even you pay 15Euro - person more but you get all of the information you will not find in a bedecker and you avoid the extremly long que for the tickets ( waiting point up to 2hours). Vatican is just a place you cant describe... More

The last sentence of my previous post about the free tickets should have read, "You will pay much MORE with a booking service or for a prearranged tour and the tour will be the same. More

We visited Rome with a guided daytour of Avventure Bellissime on April 30. An ancient Rome and Vatican & Sistine Chapel small group tour. It was a long (7 hours) day but more than worth while. Also because of Luca, an excellent guide. His knowledge of Rome was formidable and he was entertaining us as well. His passion for Rome... More

This tour company is excellent. I booked it on line easily. Our guide was full of interesting facts, amusing stories, and was very easy to hear and to understand. A small group made it a very enjoyable day. Ben guided us through the Vatican Museum Rooms always finding a spot for us to gather away from the crowds so we... More
