Good and knowledgeable tour guide, but we paid for a 3 hour tour and got a 2.5 hour one. I understand that this was because the Basilica isn't allowing guided tours right now, but we could have spent that extra half hour inside the museums instead. We didn't see the Laocoon, barely walked inside the Egyptian Museum, and were not given time in the gift shop.

Vatican & Chapel Must GO

There are no words 😶 or photos that can capture the brilliance of artistic expression seen in each ceiling or walls. It’s a small piece of history that you will never forget.

While I enjoyed the overview of the Vatican museum and St Peter's square - I felt very rushed and that the guide was on a time clock to ensure she plowed through a checklist -

Vatican rushed thru.

I felt like we rushed to get through and we missed a lot. Some of the info was too much and could have spent the time looking at more artifacts and time in store to purchase Souvenirs etc. Almost felt captive toward the end at Saint Peters Basilica. Still a good look at some things but I would rate this particular trip 6.5/10

Fantastic experience! We were very lucky the Vatican was nearly empty the day we visited. Our guide was amazing, and knew such incredible detail about the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s that it was fascinating the entire time we were there. A great experience overall, well worth the money.

Outstanding! The tour company was able to accommodate my last minute booking. They contacted me immediately to confirm my tour. The guide was an experienced archaeologist who knew every detail of the Vatican. She answered every question and went at a comfortable pace. She also was absolutely lovely to speak with and you can see the passion she has for her job.
