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

Booking before hand with Angel Tours was a master stroke. The tour guide, Ben, was superb. The group size was 12, English speaking and we didn't have to queue. His talk was entertaining and very informative. Nothing was too much trouble and it lasted nearly four hours. I would certainly use this company again. I understand they do other venues... More

We visited the Vatican Museums and St Peters Basilica April 2012 and did a guided tour with Elaine Adams and we were very happy. There were more than 30,000 visitors to the Vatican but got into the head of the line at the entrance and it took a lot of patience from Elaine to keep the group together and organized... More

Guide was good and had a good command of the english language. It pays to use a guided tour to avoid the queues which can be considerable. Go on wednesdays when the pope makes his appearance and get double the beneifts!!! More

The Vatican Museum is a MUST see when you are in Rome. The artwork on the ceilings is absolutely spectacular... however, this trip advisor review section is for the GUIDED TOURS not the Vatican itself which I see some people reviewing here. The local guide we had at the Vatican, which included the Roman Forum (and the ones we had... More
