Participants should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
The Vatican Museums' visits involve significant walking. Please provide any mobility and wheelchair access requirements. The wheelchair path does not cover all the Museums' rooms. Also, note that visitors with limited mobility can contact us for special needs, such as wheelchairs or walkers. Wheelchairs and walkers are not allowed in the passage from the Sistine Chapel directly to the Basilica
Strollers: We suggest avoiding strollers and using a baby sling instead. The Roman Forum and Palatine surfaces are uneven, but a considerable portion of the area has a stroller path. Like wheelchairs and walkers, strollers are not allowed in the passage from the Sistine Chapel directly to the Basilica
St Peter's Basilica: on request the tours starting within 2.30 pm can continue to the Basilica only if all visitors can use the stairs and with out wheelchairs, walkers or strollers. In those cases the 3-hours tour will be all inside the Vatican Museum's . Your guide will coordinate the timing in both cases. If you wish to enter the Basilica, avoid the Wednesday morning tour. The Pope might held the audience in the square, and the Basilica will be open to visitors at 1:00 pm

Rgvincoming is an excellent tour company. They got in touch with me before I left for Italy and informed me that Vatican city is not open on Sunday. My family has a very tight travel schedule and doesn't allow any mistake. They helped me set up the Vatican tour on Saturday. The driver picked us up from the hotel. Our tour guide Robert met us at the Vatican city entrance. He led us navigate through the long lines and visited Vatican museum, the Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. He is very knowledgable and he picked out the interesting facts and shared with us his insights about different art pieces. It is a very well-orgnized tour, very educational, very interesting and no time wasted.

Our guide was knowledgeable and nice but he barley addressed our kids at all and this was a Vatican with kids tour. I was expecting for him to engage with them a little to keep them interested. He also left before we got to to the Sistine chapel and St. Peter’s which was so odd. He basically told us what to expect and sent us on our way 🤷🏻♀️. It’s was so weird. Def not worth the $550 we spent…

We came into Rome on a Saturday of a holiday weekend. The Vatican was closed the next 2 days, and we went at the end of the day. It was VERY crowded, yet our guide was expertly able to lead ups through this fascinating place. Would we rather have gone another time? Certainly! But we were so glad we went to this iconic place. Our guide did an mazing job! Definitely would recommended the tour!

We had an amazing time. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. Very accommodating for my mother in her wheelchair as well. The info we received were a great addition to everything we viewed. Prepare to do some walking. Worth the exercise
Miss Rome so much!

Booking and paying were easy, immediate, and safe! The agency told me they would have chosen a child-friendly guide, and it was so! My concern was that my children could get bored. The guide was at the meeting point with a big smile for our kids and conducted the tour taking particular care of the kids. The Museums are definitely worth the visit! The Sistine Chapel and the Basilica are amazing! We enjoyed this tour and recommend it.

Our guide, Andrea was excellent. Knowledgeable, attentive to our needs with two children under 5 and very well connected with the museum staff which helped short circuit many of the inevitable queues! A charming man and thoroughly recommended by us.
