She did not wait for me to catch up nor did she do a head count before boarding the bus for the Vatican gardens. She didn't care nor know how many people she was guiding. Terrible incompetence

A short wait between the requested time of arrival and the time of departure... but it was really worth it, the garden is magnificent even at this time of year. The helpfulness and kindness of the staff seems unknown (or rather forgotten... ) in France...sic... the museums and the Sistine Chapel are unforgettable, but I think it's better to go in the morning, as the afternoon is too short...

Our guide Naomi was excellent! She informed us clearly and pointed out the important points on our way. The bus could have had closed windows.. It was little chilly in December

Really nice staff, helpful to problem solving. The only really unfortunate thing is that absolutely no small dogs are allowed which would not have gotten in the way of anything or anyone as it would have been inside a backpack....... so we had to proceed with the visit one at a time...this is thanks to the helpfulness of the staff..... otherwise we would have had to give up

Your Experience

As one of the most sought-after attractions in Rome, the Vatican attracts hordes of visitors. With reserved entry tickets, you can be sure you won't be spending your vacation time in the waiting queues. The Vatican Gardens (also Giardini Vaticani) is a green oasis renowned as the pope’s personal garden where he returns to relax and unwind. They cover one-third of Vatican City's 44 hectares. Since 2014, visitors are invited to relish in the same exquisite scenery that was once exclusively available to popes of the past.

At the meeting point, you will receive assistance to board the minibus, after which you can admire the amazing manicured lawns, fountains, sculptures, and buildings. The Fontana dell'Aquilone and Fontana della Galera are among the most striking fountains you will find in the whole garden. Moreover, the historic building of the Governor’s Palace stands out among tourists due to its imposing structure. You can spend some time visiting the Grotta di Lourdes, an artificial cave designed to replicate its famous namesake in France. Another monument to surely catch your attention is the Casino of Pius IV, a 16th-century summer house designed by Pirro Ligorio.

With your ticket, you can also visit the lavish interiors of the Vatican Museum. It boasts one of the most impressive art collections in the world. Lastly, do not leave without seeing Michelangelo’s revered frescoes adorning the ceilings of the Sistine Chapel.
