Sensory overload - We had no idea how vast and beautiful the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter Basilica were. We had a knowledgeable guide who provided the highlights and background information. The only negatives were that no pictures are allowed in the Sistine chapel and the Pieta was being restored and a replica was on display. Highly recommend this tour!

Impressive tour!! - This small group tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica was absolutely worth it! Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, bringing each artwork and historical detail to life. Skipping the long lines was a huge plus, and being in a small group allowed for a more personalized experience. Seeing the Sistine Chapel in person was mesmerizing, and the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica left us speechless. This tour made our visit seamless, informative, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an in-depth, hassle-free experience of these iconic sites!

Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica - Overall, the Vatican experience is a must for anyone visiting Rome, even if you are not an art or history buff.....or even religious. The history, beauty and craftsmanship make it a place unlike any other. Alessia, our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. She added so much depth making us appreciate the experience on a whole new level. I really appreciated her explanation and review of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel fresco before we entered the Chapel. Tickets included skip the line which was truly priceless in my opinion. Lines for the Vatican and St. Peter's were astonishing long. The meeting point was easy to find. A truly enriching visit that I'll always treasure.
