Highly recommended - Andrea was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and witty to keep the tour entertaining. Knew how to ensure we saw all of the important items in the Vatican efficiently to ensure we had plenty of time in the Sistine chapel to beat the crowds. Highly recommended!

Worth every penny! - Amazing tour worth every single penny to beat the queues into the Vatican museums and St Peter’s Bascilla. Very busy inside (as expected) but our guide ensured we got to see everything, Julia was amazing, very friendly and full of so much knowledge, she made the tour very enjoyable and we moved swiftly through the museum. Your tour guide will guide you through the museums and take you to the front of the queue for the bascilla and leave you to roam yourself from there. Definitely recommend this tour to save time in your very busy Rome itinerary!

Skip the line Vatican tour with Mario - It was very interesting tour with Mario!
It was live, full of jokes and mutual communication tour.
Of course it is a lot to see in such a short perioud of time but Mario did all to make it really remarkable.
Thank you City Lights for your good job!

Great experience, don't hesitate, it's worth it - Our guide was great! We learned a lot - history, art, and "behind the art pieces" stories which we loved. She took the time to tell us how to make the best of our visit the the Basilica - which wasn't part of our tour. Thanks a lot!

Great, convenient experience with knowledgeable guide - More beautiful than expected. Every room is elaborate. Easy process to meet up with group. Very organized. Truly got to skip right to front of line to enter (line was 5 hour estimated wait!). Knowledgeable guide. Would recommend

Well Worth The Price - A must if you want to visit the Vatican. Took the morning tour at 830am and even then the regular lines were extremely long and only getting longer. Good experience and our tour guide was knowledge and guided us through the museum to the sistine chapel and showed us where to go for St Peter's Basilica where we also had skip the line access. Plenty of time to explore without being too long and worth the cost to skip the line otherwise we would have spent the whole day in line.

An in-depth and informed tour - So obvious to us that our tour guide had a heartfelt love for Rome and its rich history.
He was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly.

Too rushed - I was pretty disappointed with this tour. Starting off, one guide cancelled so we were combined with another group so there were more than 30 people with our one guide. It was challenging to follow the narration because the rooms are small and whenever he moved to a different room, the earpiece reception was inaudible. I don't know if it was the time of day or not but there were so many other tours that we never got to spend any time in a particular place, we were always told to 'keep moving'. We totally missed the Sphere within a sphere and the spiral staircase, two things I really wanted to take pictures of. It was literally standing room only for every single part of it so it was not enjoyable at all.
