Tours to Vatican in Rome

Like any guided tour - it’s the quality of the guide that makes or breaks it. We had a wonderful woman who was knowledgeable and relaxed… she coped with my two children really well finding things that would suit them as well as the adults in the group.

Entrance for the individuals it separate from those who are in groups and those who still need to buy ticket. You surely skip the line with this ticket. This visit is definitley for the whole day so spare your time for it. Once you're in you need to o through many exhibitions in order to get to the Sistine Chapel. So enjoy it and do not rush. There is plenty of time. If you skipped something in the musem you can get back any time. In case you do not stop by each painting or state for minutes, you are definitley able to pass everything throughout the day. Take your time in Sistine Chapel, it is really life time experience. I recommend to learn some info ahead about the paintings so you can really focus on each part. There is very bad signal so you might not be able to google it once you're in there. At the end, we visited the St. Peter's square and the basilic. It is for free. For sure there will be huge line, but it is fast (we were in 40min inside) and it is worth to wait.

We had a great Vatican city museum/Sistine chapel tour with Christine(?). She made it fun and interesting and bought her own pictures so we didn't have to crowd around with others. She was easy to understand and time went quick (which isn't always the case in museums for me!) thank you!

If you're going to tour the Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's you MUST book this tour! Our guide was Lucia and she was ahhhhhhhmazing! I can't stress how important it is to get THIS tour and go early with the correct guide. If you wait until later in the day, it will be PACKED and you'll feel rushed. There is SO much beauty to explore you'll want to take your time while listening to great information. As a reminder, you'll need to be dressed properly to tour. We didn't have a problem but others did.

Arrived early and went to st peters square and saw the Pope. What Luck. Walked around the east side wall to get to the Museum entrance and was able to walk past a huge entry line with the skip the line privs. Get the audio guide it worth the $10 to know what you are looking at.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to share that knowledge with us. He kept the tour moving at a comfortable pace and helped us focus on both the art and when important the buildings as well. We toured multiple museums of the Vatican. He directed us from point to point keeping us together as a group and preparing us for the features coming up next. While waiting outside for the tour to start, he went over a handout on the Sistine Chapel. Detailing the features of the ceiling. Inside the Chapel talking is prohibited and his earlier talk brought a greater understanding and appreciation to what I was seeing.

It was definitely worth the guided tour, especially if you don't have an art history background. We went in October so the basilica was a lot less crowded than I would expect during peak tourist season, but it still saved us a pretty long wait in line.

Christina was an AMAZING guide, and kept everyone engaged the entire time. She was genuinely one of the greatest tour guides I’ve ever had and I wish I could bring her around the entire city of Rome with me!!!! I had a great experience with her and with Maya tours

We met our host at the designated meeting place, she walked us to the entrance, gave us our tickets and a little information and let us be on our way. We are not much for large tour groups, we like to wander at our own pace so this was perfect for us!

Our guide, Frederico, was great. Very knowledgeable & despite having done the tour numerous times was still very enthusiastic about the Vatican & Sistine Chapel. We were in a small group of 9 so it was easy to follow the guide. The earpiece we each used enabled us to hear everything Frederico said. The only downside (& this is something out of the control of the tour co.) was the crowds, but apparently we were there in a quiet day. I would hate to be there when it’s busy!

I booked a guided tour in Vatican, with my two children. The experience was really amazing! Our guide Antonio was such an informative, professional, kind and with a great sense of humour man. His knowledge about art was very impressed. We were really lucky to have him as our guide to our first visit in Vatican. Thank you!

It was amazing to see and connect to all the history that Angelo, our guide, told us about - all the greats in history. I will be back again to do this tour as there is so much to see. I’m glad I did this tour as I learnt a lot and enjoyed it so much. Thank you Angelo

Very glad we got the skip the line ticket, but the bus tour through the gardens was disappointing. it was difficult to see anything from the bus we were on and the audio did not always match what we were looking at. The driver routinely stopped too far up from the interest points see them, let alone to take pictures. I would recommend a walking tour if you want to really enjoy the gardens

Everything happened as expected. There was no queue at the entrance for those having online vouchers. First we passed through the security check, the we went to the Reception to change our voucher into tickets. It pretty straightforward what you have to do once you get there. People have to follow a visiting route (that's pretty well delimited, highlighted) and Sistine Chapel is almost at the end of this path. But overall it was okay, the price difference wasn’t that high.

This tour was the best tour I had out of the rest of the ones done by magic worlds and it is because of the guide we had! He was not only very knowledgeable about the art work, he also really knew how to engage the audience by telling jokes and giving us fun little quizzes to make the experience an entertaining one! 100/100 would recommend it!

We visited the Vatican museums. Considering the particular weekend we proceeded to purchase 5 tickets about a month before. We showed up at the indicated place, they gave us a bottle of water, and put a sticker on the chest to identify us. Together with an assistant we entered the line of groups skipping the kilometric lines, they replaced the tickets for us and we entered immediately. All flawless, considering that in 10 minutes we were already at the entrance turnstiles. An additional 15 euros well spent to skip the entrance line. It is worth it !!!

The check in process was painless, the actual walk to and in the Vatican Museum was speedy and our tour guide, Olympia, was TOP DRAWER! We’ve been on two other Vatican Muesum/Sistine Chapel tours in year’s past but never one that included a guided tour of the Basilica and St Peter’s Square. Well-well-well worth the extra time and dollars!

Visited the Sistine chapel and Vatican museum while in Rome. Needed to do the tour in a few hours due to commitments later and didn’t want the full guided tour. Met our contact outside the museum who guided us past the queues and into the correct entrance. This skip the line ticket allowed us quick entry into the museum where we picked up an audio guide. Excellent way of visiting the museum and Sistine chapel at your own pace.

A bit difficult to find the ticket office to exchange the voucher for tickets, but it worked out fine. Worth not waiting on extra lines. Security is long enough. The Vatican museum is huge and well worth the visit. The actual Sistine Chapel part was a bit crowded and the attendants were rather rude. Yes, it is a sacred place, but shouting ""silence"" was a bit off putting overall.

The tour was great, fast and trouble-free admission. Our guide was Eugene, very friendly and helpful with all details and questions. A minus of the tour was the lack of visit to Raphael Rooms, which are of big importance in the Vatican Museum, so we needed to go by ourselves and miss the last part of the tour in the Basilica. Overall we were very pleased with the tour.
