Sistine Chapel tickets

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.

Due to indisposition of the guide for the Vatican Museums, we had our booked visit varied to include the Vatican gardens. Still, it was a good experience, expertly illustrated by the lady who guided us. The presence of a very large audience somewhat marred our expectations so we will repeat the experience in quieter times. Thank you.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! She taught us so much about the Vatican and explained the most important aspects of what we were seeing. We were able to skip the long lines. It was easy to find our meeting point. I would highly recommend booking with them. Worth every penny!!

Absolutely amazing seeing all of those incredible works of art. It would take a lifetime to see and hear the history behind all of the priceless works.

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

Great tour guide! Super funny and knowledgeable

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.

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

It was a very seamless experience, easy to find office, skip the long lines, our guide was incredible. We had a stroller and he made sure to accommodate us, pointing out the lifts and waiting for us to rejoin the group. Very knowledgeable and helped the whole group find our way to St Peter's square at the end of our tour. The only downside for me was the ear piece, I have small ears so it wouldn't stay on properly and would fall off so I had to hold it or try stand close to the guide to hear. Overall it was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend.

The tour started to late because a miscommunication of the guide and the organisation. This was also discussed in front of the tour group. This gave people an uncomfortable feeling . The guide and the tour were amazing

Very efficient staff at check-in. Outstanding guide( Frederics?) who was professional , friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable. The tour was about three hours and the guide gave us the right amount of information in each part of the tour but there was time to ask questions as well. Once the tour was finished the ticket gave you the the chance to stay on as long as you wanted and visit areas there hadn't been time for. This is an excellent tour from start to finish and we recommend it 100%.

we were fortunate to be accompanied by a very kind and very knowledgeable guide who made the visit interesting in the delirium of a bewildering overcrowding . without the guide so comprehensive would have been an " ordeal " devoid of interest in a unique place in the world . congratulations to the guide , and to Vs organization .

Reservations allow you to skip the line. The staff giving directions was very nice. Our guide very kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the walk to the gardens and museums.

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!

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about both the history of all sites but also about how to effectively navigate the journey through the spaces during such an extremely crowded time. Due to the jubilee crowds we had some delays, and our tour ran long. She did not rush through the museums, nd gave us the complete tour anyway. Seeing that some on the group were getting tired, she sought out places to sit and rest, and was more concerned with everyone's health and happiness than ending on time. A native Roman, the depth of her knowledge, her personal perspectives, and her passion were amazing! Since the sistene chapel was closed, she spent 20 minutes using picture handouts to talk through the meaning of the art inside. The climb to the dome was my favorite part - to be inside seeing the mosaics and the perspective of such a grand church from above were incredible!

Our guide Theresa was simply great! She told and explained everything so well. The whole tour was super nice and absolutely recommendable.

Fantastic tour! It's worth it to skip the queues and have a guided tour with a small group. Wonderful experience which I would reccomend to anyone and will absolutely do it again.

Our guide, Francesca, was funny and easy to listen to. She brought the history to life with her stories and kept us all interested at what was a very busy time in the Vatican. The Vatican museums and gardens were stunning, the Sistine Chapel was breathtaking and St Peter's Basilicia was beautiful. Francesca's stories about the art in the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's antics were the highlight for me.

Our tour of the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's basilica was amazing. The crowds were crazy but our tour guide kept us together and helped us get where we wanted to go. Her information was great and she was entertaining.

The guide was phenomenal !!! So knowledgeable, so invested in the history, and importing that to the group. Her timing, for ingress and egress to specific areas was so beneficial to the whole experience.

It was an absolute amazing experience. Guide was amazing

Great tour guide! Super funny and knowledgeable

Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided great context in her explanations and answers to our questions.

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

Julia our guide was exceptional. She answered all our questions and was very patient with us since English is not our first language.

Very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She ensured everyone had a chance to ask questions and was ok during the tour. I'd highly recommend going on a tour. It wouldn't have been the same if we had viewed the Vatican by ourselves because we would miss out on a lot of detail and significance/purpose behind certain artwork.

Excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant, making a very stressful and congested experience into an unforgettable one. Thank you.

Sarah was amazing...made a very crowded and stressful tour very manageable and interesting in a personal way - so glad we booked this!

We managed to get in without queues, and the guide was very attentive to the group, which was not that big. We received explanations of the Vatican museums all the time.

Despite the large number of guests, everything was well organized. Our tour guide was very friendly and knew a lot, but her English was sometimes difficult to understand.

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

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.

The agency was punctual, the instructions to the meeting point were accurate, the visit was on time. We were accompanied all the way through the first security line, up to the second one at the entrance of the museums. The lady was kind and attentive.

Well, it was already pretty crowded, but considering it was holy week, I don't think I was surprised. It is a lot of walking, a lot of steps, so you need to be able to do that.

As well as being beautiful, the museum and chapel are an important historical and artistic site, with a rich history and remarkable works of art. And buying tickets in advance avoided the huge queues.

I didn't think it would work out because I was meeting a host, but everything went as expected. The visit was incredible, very beautiful inside. I'll attach some photos so you can get a sense of how beautiful it is!

It was a little crowded but we had the evening tickets so it wasn't to bad, and we skipped the big lineups, the are work in there is a 11/10 a must see! We had no trouble with our tickets would recommend any day

Vatican was more beautiful than I expected. I enjoyed it so much! Must visit. Was especially magical feeling during Easter weekend.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! She taught us so much about the Vatican and explained the most important aspects of what we were seeing. We were able to skip the long lines. It was easy to find our meeting point. I would highly recommend booking with them. Worth every penny!!

The visit went very well, we skipped almost all the lines, and the guide Brigida was very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout the tour with excellent explanations.

The exhibition was beautiful we had to wait a bit because there were a lot of tourists but it wasn't a big deal

The guided tour of the Vatican was enriching and the guide gave us lots of interesting information. There's so much to see in the Vatican, we'll have to come back!

Magnificent experience. Visit to the sublime gardens. The museum is a sight to behold, paintings, sculptures waoooo. And the Sistine Chapel 🤩😍 What happiness. ROME IS A MAGNIFICENT CITY 🌟💖

The guide was great, very pleasant to listen to and very funny - I forgot how much my feet hurt. Everything is magnificent to look at, both in the Vatican and in the Chapel.

Absolutely amazing seeing all of those incredible works of art. It would take a lifetime to see and hear the history behind all of the priceless works.

What we found incredible was how easy it was to enter the Museum. The Museum and the Sistine Chapel are wonderful! An unforgettable visit! Thank you for making this magical experience so easy.

We were able to secure tickets at the last minute for a self guided tour. We were able to easily meet the guide to help navigate the entrance lines and he helped get us entry into the museum.

It was amazing. Learned so much. Monica was simply fantastic, so knowledgeable, friendly and funny, made the experience wonderful. Highly recommend. Thank you for an unforgettable experience

Roberta our guide had really good knowledge of the subjects. Sometimes little hard to hear the information due to traffic, poor technical quality of mic and headset

Our guide Maria was fantastic. She gave us a great overview. We got to see everything in time. There were clear signs at the meeting point .

Our guide, Cristiana, was very knowledgeable and she did a great job bringing Rome alive.

To much info went on from devotion to section so much I missed the 2part of our tour to the colosseum it took so long in the church we had to leave even we told the guide we had another part of the tour I booked it as one tour did not relishe we had to get across town and we where 10 late tour had already started we where so disappointed with with the tour I would not recommend to take a guided tour go on your own

We had an incredible experience on the Rome in a Day: Vatican Museums & Colosseum Guided Tour! The guides for both the Vatican and the Colosseum were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable, making the tours informative and enjoyable. They shared fascinating details and historical insights that added so much depth to the visit, and they were more than happy to answer all our questions. It was a perfect way to explore two of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, and we truly had a great time. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to make the most of their time in Rome!

The tours were very efficient and the guides were extremely knowledgeable! All places we visited were extremely busy with long lines and both guides did a good job of navigating the crowds all while still pointing out important/interesting pieces of art. Doing the all day tour does make for a long day but it was nice getting it all done. Obviously both locations are at different parts of the city but they did give us time to have lunch and get to the other end of the city for the other half of our tour.
