I do suggest you get one of the tours they provide from outside because the vatican is so big thagt you would get lost on your own. The Museum is nothing but pure artistry and it is amazing! more

How enormous is this museum? If you spent 3 seconds admiring each individual piece in their collection, you would be there for 12 years. That's a lot of stuff! How impressive is the museum? It makes the Lour've in Paris look like a Costco, and that's not easy to do. In addition to the Sistine Chapel, the Basilica, Michelangelo's works,... more

I think I don’t need to talk about it…it’s world famous so I have only 3 advices … the first one is “DON’T miss it!!!”, the second is … “get a guide!” I get one in S. Peters Square early in the morning; they are “seeking” for tourists so don’t be afraid because it’s a fair proposal: - You don’t... more

I arranged a walking tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Church with Presto Tours last October. It was time and money well spent, and there was so very much to see. Large crowds made for slow walking through the Vatican's halls, but the art treasures I viewed was well worth the time and effort. Wear comfortable... more

There is so much to see. I would recommend visiting as many of the museums you can or want to see before going to the Sistine Chapel. The museum is a treasure. You may want to take binoculars to view the Sistine Chapel. After you are finished in the Chapel, with your back to the door you entered, go out... more

We paid £109.00 for two of us to have a vatican tour. It was arranged by the hotel through Greenline. I thought it would be the best way for my mum and I to see this wonderful place. However, it wasn't quite what we expected. To begin with we were collected at the hotel at 7am picking up others en... more

The great beauty of the Sistine Chapel and many other things in the Vatican Museum is unquestionable. So, reviewers who have been fortunate enough to enjoy that beauty during their visit have solid ground for their favorable judgment of this attraction. However, having visited the Vatican Museum many times during the past forty-three years, I was shocked, when my wife... more

My boyfriend and I were fortunate enough to choose Through Eternity Tours for our guided tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel (tour guides are no longer allowed to go into St. Peter's Basilica). Our guide, Brandon, was fantastic. The tour was 5 hours long, and just chock full of amazing information and insights. One would expect your tour... more

We pre-purchased the 30 euro Vatican Tour (entry price and booking fee included) for late September. We arrived about 45 minutes before our designated time and had to wait outside (not a problem) and while waiting, saw people who arrived at the same time we did on the metro enter before us. (ie the lineup for tickets wasn't long at... more
