Solo traveller - Going in the evening allowed for more time in the galleries, if you are set on seeing St. Peter's Basilica go for a morning tour as the church is closed in evening

Best experience of the Vatican - A very informative tour with a guide that explained everything in clear manor. We did not have to wait in the line it was an easy entrance and well worth the money. It was easy to meet our guide at the meeting point before the tour

Great tour and tour guide. - The group was small, 7 of us, and the tour leader, Silvio, was wonderful...knowledgeable, friendly, and showed us things about this area we had never know existed. Great map of the Sistine Chapel was distributed, as the tour guide is not allowed to talk in the chapel.

Knowledgeable, quick perfect - If you are an early person you will feel like you got scammed because the place does not open till 07:30 but everyone once open was friendly. The tour guide was very very good. He had a great personality, knowledgeable and moved the tour along at a speed that was perfect for us. Some tours drag on or feel to rushed. This was a nice balance.

Fantastic Experience Well Recommended - This was an amazing experience! We met our guide at their office which is very close to the Vatican Museums. Silvio was excellent, very knowledgable and informative. The museum and the Sistine Chapel were breathtaking and made so much better with Silvio to guide us around. Would definitely recommend booking this tour as you avoid the queues and learn a lot more from it than if you go around on your own!

Not so great - I know the guide was trying, but it was challenging to understand her because of her accent and because of the poor quality of the amplification in the ear piece. I probably only understood about half of what was said. We were the first tour of the day at 8 AM so we did have to wait in line a bit which I understand. At $135, the experience was not cheap. I know that getting into the Vatican museums and the Sistine Chapel in a way that makes the experience special is almost impossible so perhaps I should have known better but it was still disappointing

Poor experience - The English quality of the guide speech was not very good. Presentation of material was monotonic and hard to relate to. The content of information was shallow. Skip the line was the only value but 118 just for line is way overpriced.
