The best way to see the Vatican without the crowds!
Ruthie_H, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was incredible! So friendly and knowledgeable and never made us feel rushed. We loved that there were no crowds. Loved it!!
All six of were so glad we did this and not a crazed day visit.

Fabulous all around. Avoid the crush and rush of a daytime Vatican museum tour. We could really see the art and hear our marvelous guide. And imagine seeing the Sistine chapel with so few people you could truly see all of it without being pushed around by the crowds. Easy process to meet guide very close to Vatican museum entrance. This is so worth the extra money. Guide moved us along effectively answering all questions. Five stars!!
Rushed to finish in half the time than committment.

The tour was supposed to be 2hrs 30 minutes but the guide rushed us through all sections and ran away in 1-1/2 hrs. Veyr unproffesional and rushing without reason. Skipped lots of section in the museum,
Worth the price

Very knowledgeable guide. Such a cool experience to go in after dark with less crowds. We were even in some rooms completely alone. Worth the money! Highly recommend.
Absolutely wonderful

Very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional guide. Everything went according to plan, and I appreciated the fact that she left us alone in the Sistine Chapel to take our time. Well worth it, especially with smaller crowds and cooler temps in the evening.
