Description

This experience allows you to enjoy some of the most famous artistic treasures in the world, the highlights of the Vatican Museums and its galleries, including Michelangelo’s frescoed masterpiece of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The early morning option allows you to visit all these sites at a time when it is not very crowded: you will enjoy the experience to its fullest! Also, after this immersive walk, you will enter St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest Basilica in the world, renowned for the inspiring Bernini interiors design and Michelangelo stunning “ Pietà “. PLEASE NOTE: During the Jubilee, if the Basilica reaches full capacity, access will unfortunately not be allowed, and this will be beyond our control. In such a case, more time will be spent inside the museums.

Great tour, amazing sites.

The guide was very knowledgeable and nice. We did not skip to the front of the line as advertised, but we went in a faster moving line.

Great way to see Vatican and St Peters

Loved our tour of the Vatican/St.Peters. Our guide was excellent- very well versed and spent time to explain everything to us. She guided us through the crowds and to the best spots for viewing things. Unfortunately I can’t remember her name but we had a great time.

Crazy pricey...but completely worth it !

Turning the keys and unlocking the various chambers and turning on the lights throughout the Vatican Museum...culminating in opening the "back door" into the Sistine Chapel, combined with a very knowledgeable tour guide...a totally small and private tour of the top Museum attractions...'nuff said"

Average

the place was excellent to visit but due to the following we were not happy: 1) the agent not inform us that we can not enter St Peter's Bailica although we pay for the same 2) Tour guide was not knowledgeable with all information 3) driver not come on time
