We met at meeting point then walked short way to Vatican and walked right in skipping the line just as promised.

Edoardo_D

Sistine chapel closed unfortunately but tour guide lady was very knowledgeable and funny. Would recommend.

Ben_B

After hearing so many complaints about the vatican being crammed with people and being unable to see the sistine chapel properly due to tge number of people, this trip was exellent as we had enough time and space to look at and appreciate all the various artifacts on display. Spent well over 20 minutes in sistine chapel. If you want time to appreciate eveything, take this late tour.

Anna it’s a great guide, the place was packed but we managed to go around the crow and lines no problem.

Lauren_M

Beautiful- our tour guide was lovely and very helpful. She guided us through with factual information and it was easy to stay engaged. We had a huge day where we toured the colosseum first and it did make for a long day so by the end we were exhausted but it was great doing both tours in one day as some of the information overlapped! Ticket office was easy to locate and close by to Vatican museum

Ayten_E

Our guide gave us really good information. As she said, i started to look differently and more aware to art. Thanks.

Excellent service and very well worth its price. The group entered on time and everything went as expected. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to wrap around the whole Vatican experience in 3-4 hours.

Angela_C

Although I was initially a little disappointed that the catacombs were not included otherwise, it was a fantastic tour. The tour guide was very informative and tons of lovely things to say definitely a must do.!

Alvin_S

Excellent tour that is as grandiose as it is appropriately long. This was a very dense, but thorough tour of the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. I was very impressed and glad we joined this trip while In Rome. something out tour guide said, resonated with me. He said "When you tour the Colosseum, you are touring ruins. When you are touring the Vatican, you are touring something that has been pristinely preserved!". So true. So eloquent. The only reason that I didn't give this five stars was that it was VERY crowded and we felt rushed in many of the rooms, even passing through some of them. For me, this was much of a bother because I do believe this was so we could have some time to appreciate the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's (which you can take as much time as you want). I just thought it would be important to make note of that for those who wish to take more time in the other attractions of this beautiful tour.

This review is not about the Vatican Museum, it was awesome! This review was a skip the line, but there was no line to skip! The ticket price for our tickets was 17 Euros a person and we paid $59 CAD each for the privilege of skipping a line that didn't exist! If it was July I would understand, but November? I feel that we were mislead to think that this was more than just an entry ticket, but included a tour. We could have saved a significant amount of money by buying our tickets directly at the Museum.
