The Vatican guided tour was honestly the best thing we did on our trip to Rome. Our English-speaking guide, Hillary, was absolutely fantastic. She had so much knowledge and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and really brought the history and artwork to life. You could tell she was passionate about what she was talking about, and she shared so many interesting details that we definitely would have missed if we were exploring on our own. It made the whole experience so much more meaningful and enjoyable. This tour truly made our trip to Rome even more amazing. I would 10000% recommend it to anyone visiting the Vatican!

An honest to God 11/10 experience, it was easily one of the coolest days of my life. I can't lie at first I was very stressed out about the whole trip from what I had seen online. But after we got through the first line of ticket checks (which wasn't long due to the slip the line pass) all my stress was relieved and I witnessed the most beautiful art and architecture I had ever seen. DO NOT PASS UO THE OPPORTUNITY! I would recommend this trip and this service to anyone!

The museum and the Sistine Chapel were the highlight of our visit to Rome! This was also thanks to our wonderful guide Doris, who provided us with lots of information and background knowledge and guided us confidently through the rather crowded rooms! A heartfelt thank you for that! Everything was perfectly organized, and despite the rain and the long line, the wait was pleasantly short! Highly recommended!

Take a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel and gaze at Michelangelo's vibrant murals of biblical heavens.

Let your guide take you through the Catacomb's eerie tunnels with skulls and bones of the buried, peeking through the walls, created by Roman Christians 2000 years ago.

Step into Hadrian's Mausoleum and be greeted by the cylindrical building topped by a golden quadriga that later turned into a prison.

Wander through the Castel Gandolfo where colorful houses hug the shores of the serene Lake Albano and the papal palace stands as a historic centerpiece.

Fun fact: Some catacombs were used as secret meeting places during times of religious persecution, to hide from the Roman authorities!

When booking, the pictures of the Capuchin Crypt suggest that the tour includes a visit to the crypt. However, this is only an additional option. Our tour was supposed to last three hours. At 3:30 p.m., we were first shown a film lasting almost 30 minutes that had nothing to do with the catacombs. After a 10-minute walk, we arrived at a bus that took us to the catacombs. The lady who gave the tour apparently didn't have any more time, because the tour was over after just 25 minutes. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes for the transfer back.

Fred, our tour guide was the key. The right person wtih real knowledge and understanding of the time, culture, and history of the Vatican museums makes all the difference. There is so much to see it is impossible to take it all in. Having a guild to point out the best makes it real. We opted for the Basilica package as well and again worth it for the extra knowledge.

THANK YOU HEADOUT! This guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel was fantastic (these are must-sees when traveling to Rome). The guide provided very accessible explanations that we wouldn't necessarily have found on our own, and another advantage was that we got to skip the lines. We really loved it, it's worth paying more for.

Get more for less with the super-saver combo of the Vatican Museums, Catacombs, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Apolistic Palace at Castel Gandolfo with this ticket.

Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

Start your journey of the Vatican Jubilee with a guided tour of the Vatican Museum. Be greeted by the marbled floors of the Museum's most important collections that house Roman and Greek sculptures like the Apollo of the Belvedere. Head on to Michelangelo's painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with frescoes adorned by biblical figures. Feel the grandeur of the halls as the enrobed God-like figures look down from the ceilings.

Roman Catacombs

Move on to the eerie 2000-year-old maze of catacombs built 2000 years ago. These underground burials were created to bury the dead in ancient Rome with the lack of burials on the ground. Let your guide narrate the history of the biblical scriptures on the carved catacomb walls, with skulls and bones peeking through them.

Castel Sant'Angelo

Explore the encased Hadrian's Tomb, once a tomb, and a prison -- now a museum. The imposing structure is divided across five floors connected by a spiral ramp, that leads you to the hallowed chamber of ashes, and the grey prison cells in that held incarcerated historical figures. Move towards the upper part of the castle to see gold and bronze decorated rooms once the Papal residence, and take in the gleaming collection of ancient Roman weapons.

Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo & Pontifical Villas Gardens

Explore the Pope's summer residence on the edge of Lake Albano -- the Apostolic Palace. This scenic spot overlooks the shimmering lake, with floral and green gardens built on the site of the ancient villas. Wander the palace and admire the Baroque-style ochre-colored houses coupled with those topped with pointed arches reminiscent of Medieval style. Head on to the Papal Villas of Apolistic Palace and admire the halls decked with tapestries depicting scenes from the Bible, as the portraits of past popes adorn the walls, their faces gazing down with a sense of wisdom and authority.
