Tours to Vatican in Rome

This tour was amazing! Was definitely worth the money. Our guide Carlota was absolutely fantastic. Her knowledge was incredible, her explanations were spot on for people who didn’t have too much knowledge about the Vatican history. She kept it light hearted, added personal touches and kept it relevant to today, and this made it the perfect tour! 100% would recommended this tour to anyone first timers in Rome. We would’ve missed so much if not for this tour!

We were able to get right into the Vatican. We used the Rick Steeve's app (which is free to download) and took the self guided tour of the Vatican. We were late because of Uber issues and they were able to help us get into a later group. Very accommodating.

Very informative visit with an excellent guide! Veronica was very enthusiastic, pleasant and well informed. We were almost one hour late and the company were very nice and accommodated us into another tour. There was no stress or hassle as they stayed on the phone with me to tell me where to meet them. Bravissimo!

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!

Well, it's awesome and if you're thinking of buying those tickets, chances are you are aware of what's coming. Lines within the museum are massive, yet they move fairly well, unlike those that are outside of the museum. Incredible collection, definitely worth the visit from historical and educational point of view. And most of things are beautiful, truly

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!

Deborah is honestly the reason why I enjoyed this tour through the wonderful place that is the Vatican so much - it was so, so full (~50,000 there that day), crowded and crazy but Deborah was the light and brought humour, great knowledge and control into the situation. She was wonderful and the Vatican museum absolutely worth it, especially with a guided tour!

A nice tour. The upside is I learned a lot from the tour guide. The downside is the tour was rather concentrated so if you want to spend more time looking through the whole collection of arts in the museum, you will need to stay and browse at your own pace. I'm not sure whether you can walk in reverse direction amid Covid. It seems all traffic was one way due to the pandemic. Also, to access the basilica, you need to exit the museum and walk around the wall of the Vatican City to get there, due to Covid preventive measures.

The guide was great but this is an incredibly crowded place. I don't like to give less than 5 stars when it's something I knew going in, but I think it's good to know that despite it being amazing stuff you are looking at and learning about, you will feel like a sheep getting herded through a maze.

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.

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.

All information about time and exact place before start of the activity was very useful and precise. Very good guide. But be aware that it will be very crowdy ! The guided groups compete with every one else, good though to get rid of the ticket queues.

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

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.

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!

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.
