Vatican Museums Tickets & Tours

We avoided a long queue to get in, but it's 25€ per person. I don't know exactly what the prices are on the official website and how much of a queue you actually avoid.

It was a simple quick process. We met the guide exactly at where we instructed to meet her which was very easy. We were then guided into the Vatican museum and were able to take it free and easy at our own pace. Truly recommended.

Very convenient meeting point and I was amazed by how fast we entered the Vatican! I don’t regret a single cent spent on this skip-the-line service — the regular queues looked like 4–5 hours long under the sun. Thanks to this, our visit went so much smoother and more enjoyable! Highly recommend!

I saw some reviews that suggested that this was difficult but I found it easy. The meet up location was close to the Vatican and the guide was polite and organized. An easy entrance into the Vatican and then ... prepared to be wowed.

We found our guide very easily, and he accompanied us to the entrance of the museum, with no waiting despite the impressive crowds that day. Excellent service!

I really enjoyed the experience. The whole visit was orderly and easy to see all the rooms. What we did not find clear were the indications to find the access door to the museums.

The Museums are absolutely beautiful and are so vast. The check in process was fine and thankfully we got a skip the line ticket. Lots of different things to see and you could probably spend hours there.

Entering the Vatican without having to stand the heat or the queue was a great experience and being guided so skillfully was refreshing.

Maurizio was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge about every piece of art was sensational. 100% would do this tour again! Very seamless pickup at meeting location and walking us into Vatican City, guiding us through security. Only feedback is not on tour guide but the headsets used. The system is a bit finicky. The headphones are a bit uncomfortable. I'd say the vox or similar wired headphone systems are superior.

It was easy to find the meeting point, the instruction throughout the process to enter the Vatican was easy, accessible, polite and friendly professionals, the museum tour was incredible, the cistine chapel was incredibly charming.

I am glad that I bought tickets ahead of time to avoid the long lines. It was very crowded, but we made it through. To see the Vatican museum in person was breathtaking!

This experience is perfect for learning about Roman civilization. I suggest that people do it at least once in their lives. Thank you for the organization . ✌️🇲🇦

Visiting the Vatican felt like stepping into another era. Every detail—from the materials and colors to the atmosphere—was breathtaking. The artistry and history in every corner made a deep impression on me. It was more than a visit; it was an experience that stirred my soul. I loved every single moment of it. Truly unforgettable.

The Vatican museum is worth looking at. There are so many articles of artifacts and art work, you can't help but be in awe! What I loved most of all was that the museum itself is work of art that houses the art.

What I loved most about this place was the museum and the Basilica of St. Peter, which are truly incredible. What's more, we went at just the right time, as we were able to attend a farewell mass in honor of Pope Francis, which was very impressive. On the downside, I paid for access to the Sistine Chapel, but current events meant that the chapel was closed, so I couldn't use the extra ticket for the Sistine Chapel.

I was a great experience I recommend very unique 🙏🏽

So many ancient artifacts, art in abundance. A breathtaking experience in the Vatican.

It was crowded but it was worth it! Amazing!

Had tour booked. Very organised and no queuing on entry

The beauty of the site and the speed of access despite the crowds

We didn't have to wait in line, we went straight into the museum. It was a good experience

Our Italian guide Daniela was wonderful

Basically, everything. But the Sistine Chapel was astonishing, tremendous, and magnificent.

Our guide was wonderful, funny and very informative! Sending friends your way

Incredible place to see--so much art! We will never forget the experience.

Would 100% recommend this tour (including St Peter's) to anyone looking to see the Vatican. It was very organised. Gabriella was a great tour guide! Very friendly, approachable and informative!

Our tour guide Pasquale was the best. Answered all our questions and provided a ton of information. He definitely made this tour worthwhile. If you do a tour, ask for him as your guide

The guide Susanna was great, punctuality met, very helpful and knowledgeable-all excellent. In addition, we discovered an excellent Molise restaurant for breakfast and lunch, near the agency from which the tour starts and tickets are picked up.

Very informative presentation. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we caught the importance of what we were observing. It was amazing.

Very good experience, Joaquina (our guide in Spanish) a success!!!! We were able to make our dream come true and the tour was more than we expected, her kindness and patience to explain everything was the top of the tour. Highly recommended. What we liked the most was not having to wait in the long lines and the complications to enter St. Peter's Basilica, since being part of the tour allows you to access everything faster!

Paulina was a star! In the heat and in the crowds she led our group through the Vatican museum, Sistine chapel and led us to St Peter's Basilica (where she did pre instruction as she cannot guide there. Our family learned a lot we would not know without the tour.

As someone with no base knowledge besides that the Vatican is the home of Catholicism. This was a great way for me to learn about all of Vatican City and the history of it. I would have been wandering around aimlessly without my tour

The guided tour was great, the guide was very funny and explained things very well. Cutting all the queues was great. I recommend it in French, we were with Paolo 😊👍🏼!

Our guide Marta was very knowledgeable and nice. She was a great storyteller and gave great background throughout the tour in each area. The tour was good and I would recommend them. We had a very nice time on this tour and it went to all the spots we wanted. The description is accurate on what you get with the tour. I only have one suggestion - and that is during times with extreme crowds, it is important to ensure that all of the group is accounted for. My husband and I (and another girl we didn't know) were separated during the tour in a critical area to short cut into the Sistine Chapel. The group was given 15 minutes there, but because we were lost and took the long way, buy the time we got there, we were rushed and didn't get the time the rest of the group had. Please make sure to keep the group together. I do understand it is very hard because of the crowds, so this situation alone would not keep me from taking this tour with this tour group again as everything else in the tour was great.

I recommend this tour and I wish you to find a guide like ours, Antonella.... explained opera by opera.... exciting us and telling us anecdotes . If you choose the skip the line it is better because it will allow you not to stand in endless lines Under the hot sun as in beautiful July! We visited the Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica. Inside the tour you will find a couple of fountains where you can refill your water bottles. Comfortable shoes and shoulders covered !!! And have fun !!!

We didn't have a clear understanding of where to meet. Head out and our tour guide did everything to find us and ensure we weren't left out. The tour is breathtaking and unforgettable. This may be the best tour we've taken in any city,any where.

The audio thing does not work good. I had difficulty about hearing. The guide is good and I thing very necessary. Before getting tickets be sure to read all of the information about tour, what you need to and do not need to do. Very crowdy so be ready to this

The tour was great. The tour guide was amazing and really knowledgeable. The price was worth it for skipping the ques for the Vatican Museums alone as they were hours long and we bypassed them all and walked in straightaway. The only reason I gave it good rather than awesome was because of the amount of people allowed into the museums itself. This isn't the fault of the tour guide obviously but it meant the experience was less enjoyable in the 30 degree heat because there simply were too many people

Our guide, Vincenzo, was wonderful. Very funny and knowledgeable. I don't think you can enjoy touring the Vatican without a guide and skip the line. 100% worth it!

Skipping the line was absolutely amazing!!!! The tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable wonderful tour would not have been the same without her!

Our guide Maria Theresa was amazing! She was very knowledgeable in aspects of the tour. She went out of her way to make sure that the whole group of 17 was taken care of. She had her eyes on everyone throughout and wouldn't let anyone get left behind. With the crowds and other tour croups pushing through she did an exceptional job of communicating with us to keep us together. She gave everyone a potty break in the middle if we needed it. I would highly recommend this tour guide and the company as they all are professionals.

The crowds were very heavy for the jubilee but our guide was wonderful in directing us and keeping us focused on the important details on the museum and Basilica!

The tour guide was very well organized, punctual, very entertaining and in addition to his technical and historical knowledge also liked to have a humorous joke along the way. The group was very pleasant with 10 people, it always moved quickly so that we could see everything and also ask what we wanted from this tour. Thank you very much. We are very happy to recommend this tour.

Everything that was mentioned in the tour we saw. Our guide Olga explained so much to the in-depth knowledge & history of The Vatican & sacred places. The crowds were overwhelming but Olga was able to guide us safely to the best vantage points

Very complete visit, the meeting point very easy to locate. I would have liked to have been able to enjoy a little more of the Sistine Chapel, but there were many people and we passed quickly. Otherwise everything was great !!!!

Absolutely loved our guide, Antonio that also speaks Japanese. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his tours. He knew the end and outs making it unforgettable.

Very good guide bravo! However, we didn't have time to go to St Peter's Basilica, even though it was included in the ticket.

We visited the Vatican Museums with an exceptional guide named Marco and we were really thrilled with the experience. Marco was very well prepared, clear in his explanations and very passionate: he was able to convey to us the importance and beauty of the works of art in an engaging and never boring way. Thanks to him we were able to better appreciate the richness of the Vatican Museums, and the whole tour. We highly recommend this guided tour, especially with Marco: he made our day unforgettable!

All also thanks to Mrs. Antonella! Excellent guidance.

Highly recommended. Very enjoyable and arrivals to each place in a fast way, without queues.

Maurizio was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge about every piece of art was sensational. 100% would do this tour again! Very seamless pickup at meeting location and walking us into Vatican City, guiding us through security. Only feedback is not on tour guide but the headsets used. The system is a bit finicky. The headphones are a bit uncomfortable. I'd say the vox or similar wired headphone systems are superior.

I am glad that I bought tickets ahead of time to avoid the long lines. It was very crowded, but we made it through. To see the Vatican museum in person was breathtaking!

The guide was knowledgeable and personable. I loved it! However, I think it should have been written somewhere anyway since the ticket bought also covered the Sistine Chapel, which would be closed as of April 28.This was not indicated anywhere.

Great explanation with many details about the historical context, symbolism. Awesome, highly recommend!!! 😁

Our guide was wonderful, funny and very informative! Sending friends your way

Great tour guide! Super funny and knowledgeable

We were extremely disappointed with our guide. She injected her own philosophy into our tour and made the museum tour horrible. We were happy with the staff and our ability to go through the Sistine chapel on our own.

Our God Patricia was wonderful, personable and very knowledgeable. Everything was on time. Our guide went above and beyond. Well worth the price to get around the lines and have someone that knows how the process works.

Our visit was 2 fold. #1 it was for our son graduating high school. Instead of a party, he wanted to travel. #2 our son became a Catholic at Easter time so this visit was a no brainer. Vatican and see the pope. My wife and I have to the Vatican before and we and we were not happy with our tour, so we tried your company. Tour guide "Kate" was the bomb! She made the tour so much fun and she shared so much knowledge. She set the standard of what every tour should be like.

Martina, our guide, I was really nice as well as knowledgeable about everything! Kind and helpful, she made the visit even better, really recommended!

Visiting the Vatican City was an amazing. experience. Our guide, Natalina was superb as she was so knowledgeable, and was able to skilfully assess the specific needs of our small group and tailor the tour appropriately. Natalina was so polite, friendly and made our visit around the museums and Sistine chapel very special and memorable.

The whole experience was great, but our guide was an art historian who was passionate and excited to be sharing her knowledge

I paid extra to have a bus tour for the garden for my family of 5, knowing my youngest child would get tired from walking. I asked my tour guide where the bus is and she said I had to purchase that separately and that it's too late for it now to change . We walked over an hour outdoors in the garden, very difficult for my child. Everyone was tired later to view the inside museums and wanted to go home instead . Very disappointed

Everything. All u see in the museum. There's an extra special feelings when get in to Sistine Chapel. The tour guide was very good in English, we clearly understand her and she's also knowledgeable . Great experience on our day 1

This was an ok tour. We only really booked this because last minute it was the only way I could find acccess to the Sisitne chappel. The skip the line into the Museum was valuable though, since it was so busy when we went. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Vatican is so vast that it was nice to have someone explain some things, however, I feel like a lot got skipped over. I would have prefered to do the museum on my own so that I could take my time looking around. This was really quite expensive for what it was.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided great context in her explanations and answers to our questions. We were able to breeze by the lines with our ticket, and she helped show us the important pieces of the Vatican (included the Sistine Chapel). It helped having a guide, as without one, we probably would not have known we had acccess to certain parts of the museum (that were roped off).

Everything was great. Only the audio was difficult to hear. She was great, when audio was audible. Audible about 65% of the time.

Had a great experience ..Guide Philip and Guide Kelly was amazing and very friendly .Had an adventures day today .All thanks to both guide

Our tour guide (don't remember his name but he was Serbian) was fantastic, super friendly and super interesting tour, clearly really knew his stuff and came out with some incredibly interesting facts!

The guide always had the best predisposition and knows a lot, however, the schedule of 16 hours for the tour is very tight. We saw everything in a hurry, the museum courtyard almost went unnoticed and about 17:45 we left the museum because those who wanted to enter the basilica were not going to be on time. I had visited it in the morning and I was ready to leave the tour just like that. And last but not least, my headset was falling out all the time. I did not enjoy it at all.

All in all the total experience was a totally awesome experience . Our guide was fantastic with great insight and a quirky sense of humour. Loved it!

Our guide was fantastic and we flew through all the normal queues including the back entrance from the Sistine to the Basillica

The heat lol. Our guide was great. The tour was great. I guess my only issue was that I couldn't hear her well through the device we were give

I arrived ten minutes late, I think the guide could have sent me a message warning me where I could find them, só that I could catch up with the rest of the tour.

I wanted to do the tour in Spanish but by default they signed me up for the tour in English. The guide was good and fun but the ideal is to do the tour in your own language.

Very informative presentation. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we caught the importance of what we were observing. It was amazing.

As someone with no base knowledge besides that the Vatican is the home of Catholicism. This was a great way for me to learn about all of Vatican City and the history of it. I would have been wandering around aimlessly without my tour

We didn't have a clear understanding of where to meet. Head out and our tour guide did everything to find us and ensure we weren't left out. The tour is breathtaking and unforgettable. This may be the best tour we've taken in any city,any where.

The only reason I gave it good rather than awesome was because of the amount of people allowed into the museums itself. This isn't the fault of the tour guide obviously but it meant the experience was less enjoyable in the 30 degree heat because there simply were too many people

Our tour guide shared so many interesting things that we would not have know. She helped us navigate the crowds and move through entry quickly, ahead of the long lines. This was a wonderful tour for our family.

I felt the tour was organised and well planned. The guide was a very talented linguist, who was entertaining as well as being very knowledgeable about the Vatican.

Not the tour I gad booked. The tour should have been with not more than 6 participants, early access to the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chappel hefore opening hours tonhave a peacefulnexperience, optional climb to the dome and visit of St. Peter's including breakfast. All in about 3 hours. Well. We were a group of 23 in the beginning and 16 afterwards. The first action eas the climb, then came the church and the access to the Vatican Museum was at 11h. Together with hordes of people. We finished the tour about 12h30 without the promised breakfast (which was quite a problem for our children who had not had any food that day given the beginning of the tour at 7h15 and the promise of beeakfast during the tour). Do not get me wrong: We got a tour that was by far longer than the one we had booked and our guide was good, but otherwise all the aspects that made me book and pay for this specific tour and get up at 5h in the morning during my vacation were simply not met. Therefore out experience was rather disappointing.

Marco was excellent and outperformed everybody's stamina on this 5-hour tour of St Peters basilica and Vatican museum. Enourmous amount of information and stories that elevated our experience. Well worth it!

Climbed to the top of the dome, enjoyed some amazing spots in St Peter's Basilica! Our guide was very knowledgeable (an archeologist) and passionate about her city and the Vatican.

Our guide was brilliant. So knowledge and a welcoming and engaging personality. The walk up the Duomo was exceptional and the view.

Our tour guide was wonderful and the size of our group at 6 people was perfect. The guide was knowledgable and provided the right amount of information withour overwhelming us.

Our tour was delayed because the Pope met the Vatican staff in the morning so the afternoon was packed with people. Michaela our guide was the boss, she got us through extremely busy areas with ease. She appears to have a great relationship with the Vatican staff which meant we had a smooth tour bypassing queues and she is not afraid to "have words" if needed. Now for the tour, excellent loads of information, plenty of time to stop and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship or take photos. Anyone who gets Michaela as a guide is in for a great tour.

The tour guide, Chiara, was very caring and experienced, sharing many historical stories with us. We entered the museum early in the morning to avoid the busiest times, and the flow of the visit was very smooth. Before entering the chapel, Chiara told us the story of the Sistine Chapel, which made our time there truly enjoyable. She also took us on an interesting elevator experience. Unfortunately, due to a sudden event involving the Pope that day, we were unable to enter St. Peter's Basilica from the Sistine Chapel. Chiara accompanied us on a long detour, which was quite a challenge. It would have been even better if we had more time next time.

Beautiful experience! We entered the Vatican museum among the first ones early in the morning. Our guide Chiara was awesome! Extremely knowledgeable with a solid background in history. She gave us so so much information that we can honestly say we graduated from a history college course. When we finished with the Sixteenth Chapel (Amazon) we moved to St Peter basilica to admire more amazing art form Michelangelo and other classics. We were fortunate to go thru the Holly Doors" during the jubilee year. If anyone would like to experience this miracle named Vatican City I highly recommend this company"

Our tour guide Marina was excellent. Early entry was fantastic and very well organised. Would recommend this tour to anyone as you get to enjoy the experience before the large crowds.

I had so much fun!! The experience was absolutely incredible and we had the best guide Andreas! He was so knowledgeable and funny and we had so many laughs throughout the day, I highly highly recommend this experience:)))

Our small group tour of the Vatican was fabulous from the start to the finish. Our Tour Guide, Marina, was exceptional, very knowledgeable and informative, very pleasant and friendly and made the tour very enjoyable. We saw all the major

Elenora was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge. We loved our experience and would highly recommend. It was the highlight of our stay in Rome.

The whole experience was great, it makes such a difference to have some education about the history of the Vatican and the chapel. Rita is an amazing tour guide and wholeheartedly recommend the experience.

The highlight of my visit was St Peter Dome. Our guide took pride in her job to explain & cover every aspect of the tour. We are blessed to be at Vertican City during this Jubilee year. It was very crowded It took us from 7.15am till 2pm to cover the highlights of Vertican City

We had a great day. Our guide was amazing. She really knew her stuff. She was good at giving lots of info and answering questions. Very fun places to visit.

We had an amazing morning with our guide, Simona. From our ascent up the 330 steps to the dome of St Peter's Basilica to the amazing trip through the Vatican museum, our 5-hour tour was fantastic. Simona shared facts and stories that I had never heard before, and we thoroughly enjoyed her guidance. The Sistine Chapel was closed due to Pope Leo celebrating his first Mass, but we saw other precious historic artifacts and works of art instead. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a guided tour.

Well organized, good pace Good guide, thanks Sabine! Good value for money

While the tour guide knew his stuff, he just rattled it off. It wasn't very engaging, I found it a little hard to follow

The professionalism of our guide The beauty of the site

It was really busy queues massive but having booked tickets we walked straight in and so glad we added the bus tour to our tickets as that was really enjoyable, it was a great day.

The truth was all very well, there are lines because there are many people, and the museum is to go 2 times because it is very large to see everything.

I really enjoyed the experience. The whole visit was orderly and easy to see all the rooms. What we did not find clear were the indications to find the access door to the museums.

The insight into the beautiful, otherwise inaccessible Vatican Gardens was a highlight of my trip to Rome and the museums are also extremely interesting. The only thing was that the tour could have lasted a little longer / gone a little slower / possibly with getting off at exciting places. Admission to the museum was also uncomplicated and quick, without long queues. A recommendation!

We purchased online tour of Vatican gardens +entrance Vatican Museums (without guide). Very nice staff who greeted us and guided us until we boarded the bus......tour very nice, they provided us with earphones for a recorded guide who showed us The beautiful gardens Exciting and unique the tour inside The Vatican Museums.Definitely the "highlight" was being able to skip the endless lines for entry...especially on these particularly hot days.Experience to be repeated for sure!

The visit to the Vatican Gardens has been a unique experience, I went with my fiancée and we wanted to return once again and do it walking now because it is such a beautiful place that makes you want to spend more time observing every detail, the trip in the open bus is super good if you have an agenda to visit more things in Rome, because you can tour the gardens with ease, plus with the guide in multiple hate to choose the experience becomes more dynamic. We recommend it 100%

We had a good time. Thank you ... The wonderful works of Art ... 3 hours is not enough to admire them all ... but neither are months ....

At the beginning of the street at the entrance to the Vatican Museum, signs should be put up saying : A sign: "Visits without a ticket" A sign: "Visits with a ticket" It's the best museum I've ever visited I find this museum very rich in works of art, clean and well organized. The Vatican gardens are beautiful. CONGRATULATIONS!

I was a great experience I recommend very unique 🙏🏽

So many ancient artifacts, art in abundance. A breathtaking experience in the Vatican.

It was crowded but it was worth it! Amazing!

Had tour booked. Very organised and no queuing on entry

IT was great experience!

Good information, short waiting time, recommendable

It was most knowledgeable

We waited in line but it was very fast. Interesting visit and we loved all the roofs, each one more beautiful than the other.

Everything was cool, of course the magnificent Sistine Chapel

Visit to the gardens and direct entrance to the museum

I found it difficult to buy the guided tour in PORTUGUESE, so I bought it in Castilian, which was one of the ones available. However, I managed to change it to PORTUGUESE on the spot. I suggest more options in PORTUGUESE as my children and wife didn't want to buy guided tours in other languages. I was very well guided by the guide who did a wonderful job. He enriched me a lot with information. The bus tour of the gardens is beautiful. Incredible museums. But nothing beats St. Peter's Basilica, which gives you goose bumps and deeply moves anyone looking to deepen their faith.

La visita in navetta ai giardini reali è stata bellissima. I musei vaticani sono bellissimi. Purtroppo con un bambino, arrivare alla cappella Sistina non è stato facile per la lunghezza del percorso Alessandro

It was incredible because even with a huge crowd it was very accessible and the visit to the gardens on the bus was beautiful with a very good translator guide! The Vatican Museum is extraordinary because of the grandeur of the whole collection! What a fantastic experience!

Very simple and convenient ticketing system. The museum and the bus tour were very nice. The only thing that the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica did not ask us for tickets. We could have entered for free.

The bus ride through the Vatican Gardens was very nice with lots of good information from the audio guide. The museums are interesting, but very extensive and confusing... The Sistine Chapel is super beautiful but unfortunately extremely crowded and noisy. Overall a nice package!

Nice quick entrance with "skip the line" tickets. Really glad we got them as waiting in the long queues in the July heat would have killed me off! The gardens tour was a lovely way to start the day in the Vatican. It was very busy when we went but many places are one way which controls the flow of traffic nicely. The "meeting point" on the app is wrong and you may get shouted at by a priest if you follow what it says on here haha. Overall good experience

The customer services from the Bus Guide representative at the check in window. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.

Would 100% recommend this tour (including St Peter's) to anyone looking to see the Vatican. It was very organised. Gabriella was a great tour guide! Very friendly, approachable and informative!

The explanation was very clear from the guide, always waiting for me because I was late and climbing the dome was an extraordinary experience.

Our tour guide Pasquale was the best. Answered all our questions and provided a ton of information. He definitely made this tour worthwhile. If you do a tour, ask for him as your guide

The guide Susanna was great, punctuality met, very helpful and knowledgeable-all excellent. In addition, we discovered an excellent Molise restaurant for breakfast and lunch, near the agency from which the tour starts and tickets are picked up.

We did the tour with Bridget as the tour guide and it was perfect. We could sense she is passionated about history and all the detailed stories she was able to tell us. That was super interesting and we would highly recommend her. +We had our 1 year old baby with us and she has been very patient and understanding

Buying guided tour for ST.Peters Basilica was my ever best experience. Our guide, Brigita, was the highlight of the tour. She was very passionate, her story telling about Vaticano and Basilica was so passionate and so detailed. I enjoyed her passion, story and dedication. The place is amazing, but with such a Great guide and her knowledge was best experience ever. On top od that, she was very funny and humble. Hope everyone else will have opportunity to experience magnificient Vaticano with Brigita. Thank you!

Our guide Valery is a well of cconnaissance.he made this wonderful tour even more interesting. If we come back in the future we hope to have him as our guide again.merci.

Very good experience, Joaquina (our guide in Spanish) a success!!!! We were able to make our dream come true and the tour was more than we expected, her kindness and patience to explain everything was the top of the tour. Highly recommended.

We had the guided tour with Valerio. It was great. He put a lot of effort in telling us everything about the history of the Peters Dome and Vatican City and he was able to answer all of our questions. We climed the dome and the view was fantastic. Everything was organised very well.

Our guide was very passionate about his faith which made for a unique tour experience as he believed the basilica for what it is- not a museum - but a place of worship and reverence. Loads of stories and history along with memorizing sites!

The guided tour was great, the guide was very funny and explained things very well. Cutting all the queues was great. I recommend it in French, we were with Paolo 😊👍🏼!

Anna was amazing ! So knowledgable, humourous and so kind to everyone in the tour group! She was very patient and also waited for us all the way until we got to the elevator to get up the elevator to the dome! Highly recommended and be sure to ask for Anna if she's available to do the tour with you 🙏 Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

Our guide Marta was very knowledgeable and nice. She was a great storyteller and gave great background throughout the tour in each area. The tour was good and I would recommend them.

Outstanding guide took the group seemlessly through Saint Peter's. She allowed a couple short breaks and provided tons of information. As a religion and history teacher, learning new content is one of the best parts of traveling.

I really liked the cordiality of the guides and the simplicity of the tour, along with the information provided. We started a few minutes after the agreed time, but it was still excellent.

The guide was great and has a lot of experience - he has lived in Rome for 30 years and has many life stories to tell. A very funny and entertaining tour with the necessary background knowledge 😊👍👍👍👍👍

The audio thing does not work good. I had difficulty about hearing. The guide is good and I thing very necessary. Before getting tickets be sure to read all of the information about tour, what you need to and do not need to do. Very crowdy so be ready to this

Volodymyr was great. He provided lots of really interesting facts, and was keen to offer information and insights around the interests of members of our group. I particularly liked the fact that he gave quite a balanced view - of some of the corruption over the centuries, as well as pointing out the glories of the artwork, and all the time being respectful of the culture and religion.

Our guide, Vincenzo, was wonderful. Very funny and knowledgeable. I don't think you can enjoy touring the Vatican without a guide and skip the line. 100% worth it!

Alishba was an amazing guide, so passionate and knowledgeable. She made the tour an exceptional experience Thank you so much Alishba your an amazing lady

Skipping the line was absolutely amazing!!!! The tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable wonderful tour would not have been the same without her!

Booking the tour was seamless and efficient. From the moment the tour started to when it ended, we enjoyed every part of it. Our Guide (Kelly) was so helpful, fun and informative. She brought the whole group together really quickly making us all feel like a little multi country family. She went out of her way to make all participants of the group feel very much included. The detail that was shared and the pace we went through the tour was perfect. Kelly's explanation of everything made our visit to the Vatican that much more special.

We loved our guided tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Maria, the guide, was funny and nice. She also made sure to find shaded areas for us to stand in as much as possible since the day of the tour was extremely hot.

Would 100% recommend this tour (including St Peter's) to anyone looking to see the Vatican. It was very organised. Gabriella was a great tour guide! Very friendly, approachable and informative!

Our tour guide Pasquale was the best. Answered all our questions and provided a ton of information. He definitely made this tour worthwhile. If you do a tour, ask for him as your guide

The guide Susanna was great, punctuality met, very helpful and knowledgeable-all excellent. In addition, we discovered an excellent Molise restaurant for breakfast and lunch, near the agency from which the tour starts and tickets are picked up.

Very good experience, Joaquina (our guide in Spanish) a success!!!! We were able to make our dream come true and the tour was more than we expected, her kindness and patience to explain everything was the top of the tour. Highly recommended. What we liked the most was not having to wait in the long lines and the complications to enter St. Peter's Basilica, since being part of the tour allows you to access everything faster!

Paulina was a star! In the heat and in the crowds she led our group through the Vatican museum, Sistine chapel and led us to St Peter's Basilica (where she did pre instruction as she cannot guide there. Our family learned a lot we would not know without the tour.

The guided tour was great, the guide was very funny and explained things very well. Cutting all the queues was great. I recommend it in French, we were with Paolo 😊👍🏼!

Our guide Marta was very knowledgeable and nice. She was a great storyteller and gave great background throughout the tour in each area. The tour was good and I would recommend them. We had a very nice time on this tour and it went to all the spots we wanted. The description is accurate on what you get with the tour. I only have one suggestion - and that is during times with extreme crowds, it is important to ensure that all of the group is accounted for. My husband and I (and another girl we didn't know) were separated during the tour in a critical area to short cut into the Sistine Chapel. The group was given 15 minutes there, but because we were lost and took the long way, buy the time we got there, we were rushed and didn't get the time the rest of the group had. Please make sure to keep the group together. I do understand it is very hard because of the crowds, so this situation alone would not keep me from taking this tour with this tour group again as everything else in the tour was great.

I recommend this tour and I wish you to find a guide like ours, Antonella.... explained opera by opera.... exciting us and telling us anecdotes . If you choose the skip the line it is better because it will allow you not to stand in endless lines Under the hot sun as in beautiful July! We visited the Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica. Inside the tour you will find a couple of fountains where you can refill your water bottles. Comfortable shoes and shoulders covered !!! And have fun !!!

Many thanks to our guide Said for this fascinating tour of the Colosseum, the Palatine and the Roman Forum! Thanks to him, history really came to life, even for our 13 and 17 year olds, whom he managed to put on stage! Clear explanations, lively anecdotes and well-judged humor: a real family pleasure. An enriching, fast-paced visit, conducted with passion and kindness. We highly recommend Said, who even recommended a good restaurant at our request!

The audio thing does not work good. I had difficulty about hearing. The guide is good and I thing very necessary. Before getting tickets be sure to read all of the information about tour, what you need to and do not need to do. Very crowdy so be ready to this

Our guide, Vincenzo, was wonderful. Very funny and knowledgeable. I don't think you can enjoy touring the Vatican without a guide and skip the line. 100% worth it!

The tour guided by SUSANA, was EXCELLENT, for her dedication, her clear answers and with historical value. The whole tour was wonderful despite all the tourists who attended that day (something normal) but I highlight the work of Susana in that all the group observed every detail with valuable information. THANK YOU SUSANA. (group colosseum, palatine and roman forum of 9/6/25 at 11hs.

Skipping the line was absolutely amazing!!!! The tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable wonderful tour would not have been the same without her!

Our guide Maria Theresa was amazing! She was very knowledgeable in aspects of the tour. She went out of her way to make sure that the whole group of 17 was taken care of. She had her eyes on everyone throughout and wouldn't let anyone get left behind. With the crowds and other tour croups pushing through she did an exceptional job of communicating with us to keep us together. She gave everyone a potty break in the middle if we needed it. I would highly recommend this tour guide and the company as they all are professionals.

The crowds were very heavy for the jubilee but our guide was wonderful in directing us and keeping us focused on the important details on the museum and Basilica!

First of all, the guide Eleonora was great at explaining and making the tour enjoyable everything else and meraglioso given what the Romans did

The tour guide was very well organized, punctual, very entertaining and in addition to his technical and historical knowledge also liked to have a humorous joke along the way. The group was very pleasant with 10 people, it always moved quickly so that we could see everything and also ask what we wanted from this tour. Thank you very much. We are very happy to recommend this tour.

The guide who showed us around did a fantastic job. He showed us the best and most beautiful spots of each monument. He showed a lot of interaction with the audience. He even helped take the pictures; afterwards, he helped me and my friends get a bite to eat nearby. Top experience! As a result, he received a tip from us that was more than deserved!

Everything that was mentioned in the tour we saw. Our guide Olga explained so much to the in-depth knowledge & history of The Vatican & sacred places. The crowds were overwhelming but Olga was able to guide us safely to the best vantage points

I was struck by Prof Carmelo Vinciguerra's outstanding preparation as an expert in archaeology and a lover of art and his work so fascinating . Accurate and comprehensive descriptions with continuous insights . He also included for us a visit to the Church of Vismo and Damiani , vetsmente splendid, which was not included. The Colosseum was very exhaustive to us in its use, construction and fall into ruin, between earthquakes and looting. A beautiful expetience! I recommend this guide to everyone. Thank you Dr. Vinciguerra, see you next time! Greetings, Vincenza from Milan. (group of 4 adults)

Tour was originally booked with head out, unfortunately the guide was unable to work so they transferred us to Crown Tour's. They were very professional in their correspondence and provided multiple options including change of date or transfer to another operator. They provided clear instructions via email including new meeting point. On arrival the staff from Crown tours were friendly and professional. Our guide, Damiano was great, very knowledgeable, understanding of the groups needs and fun. The Colosseum was absolutely magnificent.

Very complete visit, the meeting point very easy to locate. I would have liked to have been able to enjoy a little more of the Sistine Chapel, but there were many people and we passed quickly. Otherwise everything was great !!!!

Absolutely loved our guide, Antonio that also speaks Japanese. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his tours. He knew the end and outs making it unforgettable.

Very good guide bravo! However, we didn't have time to go to St Peter's Basilica, even though it was included in the ticket.

Great tour guide! Super funny and knowledgeable

Our God Patricia was wonderful, personable and very knowledgeable. Everything was on time. Our guide went above and beyond. Well worth the price to get around the lines and have someone that knows how the process works.

Visiting the Vatican City was an amazing. experience. Our guide, Natalina was superb as she was so knowledgeable, and was able to skilfully assess the specific needs of our small group and tailor the tour appropriately. Natalina was so polite, friendly and made our visit around the museums and Sistine chapel very special and memorable.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided great context in her explanations and answers to our questions. We were able to breeze by the lines with our ticket, and she helped show us the important pieces of the Vatican (included the Sistine Chapel). It helped having a guide, as without one, we probably would not have known we had acccess to certain parts of the museum (that were roped off).

SERENA was a top tier tour guide with great knowledge, energy and sense of humor. By far out best private tour in Italy!!!!

The articulation of English was difficult to understand. Lovely woman , just talked too fast and didnt understand her. Only about 30% and I had to fill in the rest since Ive been to the Vatican on several times over the last 30 years. I was hopping to gain more insight and knowledge

The guide was very friendly and easy to understand. He led us through the museums with joy and enthusiasm.

Seeing The Vatican, was a highlight however there was such large crowds and lines. It was difficult to manage. Our Tour got started late because of change in meeting location and some of the other group was quite late. The headset was not working most of the time and our guide was difficult to understand. We felt like we were just in line for hours and being moved around like cattle. What we did get to see was fabulous, but it was not worth the tour. I would definitely do it another way next time.

Paula was an excellent guide through the Vatican - there were extremely many visitors and she made the best of it, told us lots of interesting things and didn't dwell on the little things (e.g. vases). We knew that the Sistine Chapel was closed, but it would have been good to have been informed in advance that St. Peter's Basilica was also only partially open to visitors!

Our guide was super friendly and kind, but because both the sixtine chappel and the St Peter where closed we spend a lot of time in the museum. After 2,5h it's just not that interesting anymore. In the end he was able to get us into the st Peter, but the time was up so inside we did not get any tour/explanation. It's not his fault of course, he made the best of the situation - but for us it was a disapointment

You learn a lot!

The tour guide was funny and amazing overall

I was impressed by the Sistine Chapel.

It was a really interesting tour of the Vatican. Silvia was a really great tour guide!

Our guide was spectacular Her knowledge was absolutely spot on It was the an amazing experience because of her

The Aussie guide knew her stuff ; the entire tour was educational as well as looking at history .

Natalia was an excellent, informative and helpful guide. A lovely tour that made the most of a very busy place.

Our tour guide was fantastic and very kind

Our guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and open to questions. Added so much to our experience.

well informed guide lots of interesting exhibits in the museum

Initially we weren't on "the list" perhaps due to booking a day prior to the event. We were told to wait until everyone was checked in and was escorted over to a guide. She was amazing. I wish I knew her name to give her an A++ review she deserved. She got us to the front of the line and the best aisle seats to view Pope Leo. Memories to last a lifetime!!

We got to see the Pope! Our guide Rudy led us through the security checks quickly and showed us where to take a seat to have a good view.

I thought there would be more provided than the free papal audience ticket and the guide walking us into vatican city. The guides were wonderful, and the information he provided was great, but there was really only 15 minutes worth of information. I think I would prefer to save money next time that I want to participate the Papal Audience. We turned in our whisper devices as soon as we arrived at the seats, so there was really very limited amount of description of the papal audience.

Our guide worked very hard to get his small group up close to the viewing - he had an asssociate who was working with him steering him to front row seats! Along the way he explained the up-coming Papal procession, the Vatican state, the Swiss guards and general history. Well Done!

Everything it was a brilliant experience

seeing the Pope live, in the vatican

The process of locating the guide was extremely stressful - I arrived at 630am and still by 715 it was a chaos with tour guides shouting at each other and no one offering helpful service. Only after I had to be very forceful to a staff member to say I'm not a late no show I have a ticket did they allow me to join.
