Itinerary
Vatican Museums: The plural is used, because there are: an Art Gallery, an Egyptian and an Etruscan Museum, the Contemporary Art Museum, the Museums of Classical and Grego-Roman Antiquities, the Philatelic and Numismatic Museum and the Ethnological Museum; then there are the Gallery of Tapestries and that of Geographical Maps and the majestic Sistine Chapel. Our guides, all with Vatican accreditation, will be able to accompany you through the absolute masterpieces and precious collections of the Vatican Museums, making you discover important details, which you surely would not have even noticed.
The visit will continue in the splendid Sistine Chapel, where you will learn everything about the history of Michelangelo's magnificent masterpiece, but also interesting anecdotes, such as for example that of the self-portrait without bones, which the artist painted precisely to underline that he would have preferred to be skinned alive rather than repaint the Sistine Chapel.

We had a wonderful and informative experience with our guide. My granddaughter who has special needs was escorted inside by a special guide. We were pleasantly surprised by this.
Thank you for your feedback! You're very important to us! We always choose the best guides to offer excellent service! Thank you!
Sort of disorganized. Headsets did not work well. Guide was lovely but difficult to understand for most of the group. It would be better to do a private tour with 6 people and have more time for specific questions. We passed phenomenal sites with barely a mention of its significant. Thank goodness for Google Lens…
The tour was not worth the money. Directions to meet the tour was not clear, long walk in extreme heat. Two people could not complete the walk and tour due to the distance to walk and the heat. Refused to give credit for 2 tickets. Don’t waste your time or money.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. She was extremely interested in the subject matter and made sure everyone had all questions answered. The skip the line for the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel was well worth it!

The tour itself was good with a small group of 6 and a pleasant guide although we passed by a few room exhibits. The wait was an issue as my appointment time was bumped an hour and then I was passed from one guide to another about 3 times I think. Was bummed to see the other couples paid $40-80 for their ticket and mine was $180 🤔

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Vatican Tour in Rome, and it was an awe-inspiring experience that surpassed all expectations. The month of January set the perfect backdrop for exploring the Vatican City, adding a touch of tranquility to this divine adventure.

In my travels to Italy I have booked several trips with Viator. I have been impressed with the proactive outreach and communication. Your firm is very organized and I appreciate that very much. I also appreciated how kind and knowledgeable our tour guide was for the Vatican tour. I know that he worked hard to share information with us, unfortunately his local dialect was so pronounced that we, along with many members our tour were not able to understand much of what I am sure was very insightful historical knowledge. If we come back to Rome, we'll likely need to do the tour again with someone else to learn what our guide wanted to share.
Hola Brian, fuiste muy elogioso con nuestra empresa y nuestra guía, pero nos diste una reseña de tres estrellas, ¿qué es lo que no te gustó que la calificaste tan mal?
Frederico was excellent! He made the experience enjoyable and easy. We learned so much and had a great time!

Guide arrived 25mins late (due to traffic) as the 32 people waiting (small group?) we were told to be there 15 mins early… not the best start. Tour was ok but tons of walking - why do guides insist on talking to the group while the group is stood for 20mins? Please let people sit before you talk for any length of time. Tour itself was good but only 10 mins in Sistine Chapel- we were herded like sheep… not the best experience to be fair.
