Our tour was perfect! Our guide, Tatiana, met us promptly and we spent the next 3 hours learning so much about the Vatican, its history art treasures and stories. Though we had been on a previous tour many years earlier, we learned so much we didn't know and Tatiana really brought the history to life. If you are going to see the Vatican, book this tour! you will not be sorry!

We learned a lot from Leah, the tour guide assigned to us. She hapenned to be an archaeologist and knowledgeable in arts? Religion, and history so we felt like we are learning while looking at the Vatican pieces and sites at the same time. She's very helpful with the kids as well.

Really cool to see. Over the top art and architecture. Wouldn't go back, but great to experience it once. Too crowded for me.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour conducted at a comfortable pace. A tour of the Vatican museums is a ‘must do’ on a visit to Rome and I would recommend this tour

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was great, but this is not a tour for those who like to linger to take pictures and really take in some of the amazing art. Because of the crowds and required reservation times, we were herded through like cattle. You have to stay with your group the entire time so you really can’t just run to the bathroom or stop to take pictures and then catch up with the group - WAY too many people for that. We did get to stop to enjoy the Sistine Chapel for 20 minutes, and there was time to wander around St Peter’s Basilica at the end. But no extra time to wander through the Vatican museum, or go at your pace whether that is faster or slower than the group.

VaticanTour
Thank you for the feedback. We understand your perspective. The Vatican can be crowded, and guided tours often follow a set schedule. It's challenging to explore at your own pace in such conditions. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to seek ways to enhance the experience for all visitors. Thank you for choosing our tour.

The site was spectacular, but the guide although pleasant did not read the group well and much of the tour was taken up by talk that was not appreciated by the group. Little time for questions. There were elements of his talk were not accurate and would rather this be acknowledged than glossed over.

Are you able to wander around the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica on your own after the tour? Do you have to go through lines again?

You can wander around St Peters bassilica but probably need to wait n line for the other stuff.

I think someone just answered you. On the steps via Tunisia opposite the Vatican museum. Remember to cover your back and arms when you go on this tour, no shorts. A headscarf may be useful
