The Vatican tour is a must. Sabrina was a very knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately the time requirement seemed to rush the museum portion of the tour so a return trip will be required.

Our guide was very professional, definitely studied history and was very passionate about it. The climb to the top of the St.Peters dome was very cool and breathtaking.

I liked the tour a lot. It was crazy hot the day we went so I was glad we went early. The dome climb was cool but intense. They need benches when you get down! 😅 Our guide was very informative. We moved slow and went about an hour longer than anticipated but it was very crowded.

Enter before opening hours and experience the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel in rare peace and quiet.

Skip ticket lines and follow your expert guide through iconic galleries like the Gallery of Maps and Raphael Rooms.

Admire Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel without the usual crowds.

Continue into St. Peter’s Basilica, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and one of the most sacred sites in Christendom.

Upgrade to include a dome climb for panoramic views of Vatican City and Rome from the top, or opt for breakfast with the tour. Alternatively, book a private early morning tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

Will have to go back to the hotel for a nap afterwards. Our guide Marco was great you could definitely tell he knew his stuff. There was so much to take in 4 hours seem to fly by but is impossible to see everything you need a full day for this one for sure.

Het was heel fijn om zo vroeg al in de Sint-Pietersbasiliek te kunnen rondkijken en rondlopen zonder dat er heel veel andere toeristen waren. Ook het bezoek aan de toren was rustig. Raffa gaf ons hele goede uitleg over de kerk en alles wat er buiten en binnen te zien was. Ook haar uitleg over de Sixtijnse Kapel was beeldend. Jammer genoeg was de tocht door het Vaticaansmuseum niet zo prettig. Onze gids werd moeilijk te verstaan en door de drukte konden we haar ook moeilijk volgen.
