The tickets were easy to... - The tickets were easy to find, and having someone help us pass the line outside was super helpful. Our tour guide was kind though we had a hard time hearing the audio. She did her best with the faulty tech!

Absolutely Exceptional Experience – A Must-Do Tour! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I cannot recommend the Vatican Museums Group Tour enough! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded all expectations. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history and art we were seeing. She brought the entire Vatican to life with fascinating stories, insightful details, and a wonderful sense of humor. The group size was just right – not too big, so it still felt personal, but large enough to share the excitement with fellow travelers. Skipping the long entrance lines was a huge plus, saving us hours of waiting and allowing us to enjoy every minute inside the museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. The highlight was, of course, standing under Michelangelo’s masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel – truly breathtaking. But beyond that, every room, every corridor, and every sculpture held a new surprise, and our guide made sure we didn’t miss a single important detail. This tour made our visit to the Vatican unforgettable. Whether you’re a history buff or just want to experience one of the most incredible cultural sites in the world, this tour is 100% worth it. Don’t even think twice – book it and prepare to be amazed!

The best way to see the Vatican and Sistine Chapel - It was a super busy day and we did not wait in line at all! We couldn't believe it as we were escorted through all the checkpoints quickly and then met our guide inside to start the tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about the art. The crowds were insane and it was extremely hot, so it was uncomfortable, but if you are in Rome and you want to see the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, this is absolutely the way to do it!

Our guide was... - Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to listen to as we walked through to tour. Note that the tour ends after the Sistine Chapel, and so seeing Saint Peter's Basilica is not included.

Rushed and hard to understand - The good part is that entrance was easy and artwork amazing. However, the tour guide Leonardo (?), spoke with such a heavy accent that he was hard to understand. We only caught about half of what he was saying. He also rushed us through at a very fast pace. This tour was advertised as 2.25 hours. He finished on about 1 hour, 40 minutes. There was no need to push us through the tour that fast.

Not particularly sure... - Not particularly sure this was worth it. We had to get to the meeting point 30-45min early just to walk inside and wait to join the Vatican tour group. So probably didn’t save any time compared to just lining up as normal for the Vatican tour group. The tour itself was fantastic

Guide great! - Our guide was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and able to make a crowded, hot situation more bearable. Sistine Chapel was stressfully crowded but not our guide’s fault.

No costumer service - Couldn't attend the trip, my flight was cancelled, and I asked to rebook as I was not being to be in Rome but they didn't even care to answer to my request. Terrible experience
