Our visit to The Vatican Museums was okay. The sheer volume of people does detract from the whole experience. Our guide Carlo was excellent. The Sistine Chapel was way too busy and too rushed. You have no chance to stand actually look around and take it in. We were always being screamed at by guards to keep moving. We were unable to visit the Basilica for some reason not clear to us, so the extra we paid for the Basilica was not refunded. Overall, the museums are amazing but the sheer opulence and power of the Church to accumulate all of this did not sit well with me.

The Worst guided tour i have ever taken. To begin with The guide ( lady) was 30 minutes late to the meeting point . Then she wasted another 10-15 minutes trying to get her audio set up as it was not working properly. After paying a top dollar fee we wanted detailed explanation on the vatican / cistine chapel and the basilica etc. But she just mumbled few lines on well known facts and tried to pass time by few jokes of poor taste. She did avoid many areas in the museum with sloppy excuses . In fact we overheard few other guides n got more information from them . Do not go to this company ..waste of money n waste of your time and once in life time opportunity..Though this company mentiones that thete is no guided tour in the basilica we saw many other companies doing detailed tours inside basilica.so you should go to a company who does the guided tour inside basilica.

The tour of the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel were very good but there was NO tour of St Peter's Basilica even though we paid for it and it was advertised as being included.

Definitely a must do when in Rome. We were inside in a pretty short time. Our tour guide was very funny and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.

Our guide David was great, very interesting and knowledgable. He kept a good pace and made sure we stayed together as a group. I enjoyed the whole experience.

The Sistine Chapel was on my bucket list. And it didn't disappoint. Only thing a bit of a bore was the amount of walking to do. It is quite a route march to get from the entrance of the Vatican Museum to the Chapel. And the staff always kept you moving. You couldn't just stand and marvel. But the art work and history is quite breath-taking. Well worth the workout. Watch yourself there. Well in Rome in General. You will be constantly pestered by pedlars trying to sell you overpriced tut, bottles of water, umbrellas, dependent upon the weather. And the numbers of beggars and rough sleepers just has to be seen to be believed. But by far the most hawked item were tickets for the hop on hop off bus tours. Not all of them are official. Best to get them from an official outlet.

We’ve visited here 4-5 times before. It began with the trip advisor tour guide canceling our tour 1 hour before due to illness. We re-booked for the following day, Wednesday. Chaotic. So crowded we felt like we were in a 2 hour TSA line that barely moved as we walked very slowly through the Uber crowded Vatican museum. You couldn’t see anything and were pushed and shoved and just tried to look up when all that was happening was getting jostled. A claustrophobics nightmare. Tip 1: Never go on a wednesday when the Pope has his papal blessing. That added to the crowds and seeing the Pope was not our intent as we’d booked it for the day before, a Tuesday. Tip 2: Must buy Skip the Line tickets or you’ll wait…a long time! Tip 3: Buy far in advance for the earliest tour. Tip 4: 30 days in advance you can buy Friday night 7pm tickets directly from the Vatican where they let a very limited number of people in—-that was the best time we ever had at the Vatican. Imagine being in the Sistine Chapel with only 30 people—-amazing. Tip 5: Never got into St Peter’s-so much construction going on I’m Vatican City as they get ready for 2025 and the Jubilee. It’s an amazing place and I’d recommend tip 3 and 4. It’s a special place—-if you can see it!

So happy we booked a tour of the Vatican. Navigated through the crowds and better appreciated what we were seeing. Our guide was funny and informed.

This is not a real company! We were scammed and the tour never happened, we also have not received a refund! Save your money and book through a legitimate company.

We took a tour of the Vatican. Our guide was Ily. She was prompt, organized, funny, and very knowledgeable. She was unable to answer any questions she was asked. She continually made sure everyone was present which is a big deal in a very large and crowded place.

Recommended by a friend. Good value for money. Over 2hrs with Lucia who was very pleasant. I’d recommend anyone visiting Rome and going on this tour wear comfy shoes/trainers due to the uneven floors/ steps. Please also note that the meeting point can be hard to find so get there in plenty of time.

SCAM DO NOT BOOK. -Reservation loved day of -no guide was present -even confirmed with other people who booked through trip advisor - will be reporting to credit card company as fraud

Marcus was excellent. Very informative and entertaining. Very passionate about history, lives Rome!! Highly recommend

Tour felt extremely rushed. Tour guide was very rude with many of the participants making it very awkward. I’ve done this tour before and it was much better. It felt like the guide wanted to end it asap, it was a Spanish tour guide. I don’t want to name her but I feel like she could have done a much better job, very disappointed.

I booked a guided tour for our 15 year wedding anniversary. 24 hours before the visit they changed the time of the tour from 3pm to 4pm. My wife and I could not go at this time as we had dinner reservations. The tour operator provided us with entry tickets but no guide and confirmed we would get a refund for the difference. Despite being offered a refund we’ve still not received any details and no refund.
