Basilica and Sistine Chapel were breathtaking. - Wonderful tour. It was very informative and interesting. The tour guide was excellent. The tour guide went quickly which was appreciated because it was hot and, of course, no air conditioning. The Basilica and Sistine chapel were breathtaking.

We really appreciate the... - We really appreciate the history and beauty of Vatican museum, chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. The tour guide was pretty informational. However, there were too many tourist. I feel that we were rushed all the way inside the museum and did not have time to stay and look at the details.

Vatican Tour - The tour was very in-depth and detailed. It lasted 3 hours. This is not for anyone who wants a quick tour of the Vatican Museum. It was extremely hot the day of our tour and our guide did not do a very good job of “reading” the group to see we’d all had enough. That said you are only give 10 minutes in the Sistine Chapel. You are then given as much time as you’d like in St. Peter’s Basilica, as it is at the end of the tour.

Don’t book this tour - Didn’t even go because Viator & the trip operator made an error - issued our tickets at a different time than our registered time with the tour guide. Tour guide was beyond rude & not helpful.
