We booked Skip the Line tickets and private guide on the internet. We went straight into the Vatican and our guide was clear, knowledgeable and with very good English. We really enjoyed our time at the Museum, the Sistine Chapel before being shown the "secret" entrance into the Basilica and we had a great morning in the Vatican.

WONDERFUL! This was the first time we had ever been to Rome and we booked many tours. We started with this tour of the Vatican which took three hours and took us through the Vatican museum, the Sistine chapel, and the museums. Our guide was attentive and accommodating and really made the tour for us.

My husband and I booked this tour when we were on our honeymoon in Italy. Everything about the tour was wonderful and we will never forget our morning in the Vatican.

Our tour of the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peters Basilica came alive with our expert tour guide. She had a deep knowledge of the art and history of the Vatican. We have visited Rome and St. Peter's on many occasions and this tour provided much information that we had not previously known. Thank you for a fabulous tour.

The only way to really enjoy the Vatican is with a private tour. I went two years ago on a large group tour and even though the Vatican was astounding, I felt that when the tour was over, I really knew nothing about the history or the arts. This time I booked a private tour and although it was more expensive, it was worth every penny. We had a wonderful guide who really explained the history of the various parts of the Vatican and not having to stand in line was an added bonus. An excellent tour to take.

Our group of six booked this tour online before we traveled. Our friends had been to Italy last year and told us to book a private tour to the Vatican as it will be a much better experience. They were right and we had first-class tour of the Vatican. Our guide was great and I am still overawed by the beautiful paintings on the ceilings and walls.
