Worth seeing!
Michaeline_P, May 2024
Seeing the Sistine Chapel in person..I was in awe of the genius of Michelangelo and other the painters. Our tour guide, Ribal Abighamen was wonderful and so informative. He also asked us questions to make it more inclusive and fun. Loved that it was a small group of 10, too.
Definitely visit after hours!

The Vatican was beautiful, our tour guide was good too (Monica I think her name was). She obviously does this daily as she knew what she was talking about (maybe a bit too fast at times). Best decision we made visiting after hours, was nice and empty. Didn't think it was worth the price we paid though, was overpriced for what we got I felt.

Maria was a great guide - tour started on time with quick entry and Maria navigated us through the crowds expertly - was about the right length and included everything we wanted to see including St Peter’s - I would recommend this tour and it was good value

Margarita was our Tour Guide and she was wonderful! My 83 year old mother was with me and Margarita was considerate of her decreased mobility, allowing her to bypass stairs whenever possible. Margarita was full of knowledge and presented what she knew clearly and concisely. She made the tour fun and interactive!
A once in a lifetime tour for art and history!

This is a tour everyone should try when visiting Rome.

This was an excellent way to see inside the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s church. Highly recommended.
Friendly and trust worth tour provider.
Ena_A, Aug 2023
It was a small group of 13 people. The tour provider was really helpful and offered us all water which came in really hand during the tour. They checked in on all of us before we set off which was nice. They also kept us up to date just before we set off. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. We had a really lovely time. Thanks. I highly recommend this tour provider.

Booked early in the morning from my hotel Rome. Redemption point was close to the Vatican and easy to find, entered the Vatican in 10 minutes and visited the Museums on my own using a map and audio guide. Even though there were many group tours I don't think it really was necessary for me.
