What To Expect
Vatican Museums
Discover the marvels of the Vatican on Vatican Hill Tours. Be mesmerized by Michelangelo’s world famous Sistine Chapel and Last Judgement, visit the Raphael Rooms and hear the stories behind the renowned “School of Athens”. With our Reserved Entrance, you can head straight into the Vatican to explore the museums with your dedicated expert guide. Headsets allow you to hear the stories your art historian guide will tell as they bring these works to life. Tours are limited to 20 people, and the Vatican is quieter than ever. With reduced capacity and fewer crowds, feel like a VIP as you wander the quiet corridors and explore the museum in peace with your safety as a priority.
Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is one of the most famous religious and artistic landmarks in the world, located within the Vatican Palace in Vatican City. Built between 1473 and 1481 for Pope Sixtus IV—after whom it is named—the chapel serves as the pope’s personal place of worship and the site of major ceremonies, including the election of new popes.

2.00It was too crowded and the guided tour was blocking my path, which was stressful. I don't want to go there anymore and I don't recommend it. It's not the travel agency's fault, though.
Good, but very busy.

3.00Getting the tickets and entry was fast and easy. The ticket said we had a earphone guide included but we couldn't figure out what that was. It was very crowded and felt rushed at times.

4.00The voucher pick up was seamless and directions to meeting spot at museum entrance was precise. The line immediately opened up at the exact time. The self guided experience was great because we could move at our own pace. The Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel was phenomenal.
Worth it

5.00The guide is very kind and explained a lot of things well. Cheapest for what we can choose of the same experience.
Not worth the money better off queueing!

1.00I don't know any other religious establishment in the world that would charge nearly €160 euros for 2 adults to have a 2 hour guided walk round inside of a museum building and see sistine Chapel, even though beautiful inside. I understand it has to be paid for but It's simply not worth this kind of money. Asked Independent traveller's who had queued for an hour and only paid approx €20 and €40 each.
Great tour, at right pace. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. High Price though!

4.00This was a spur of the moment decision to book and we probably paid the price for that, at 70 Euros each I felt it was a high cost, however at the time I felt it was worth the money. The tour was interesting, we didn’t have to queue and was straight in after passing a light security check, we were provided with headsets to listen to the guide talking. She was knowledgeable and provided a great explanation of all the sights. The tour was through and lasted about 2.5 hours in total. We also visited the Sistine chapel, which was interesting, we were told no photos and no talking but not many people observed that. We never had to queue at all and the pace of the tour was great giving enough time to take in all the sites. Overall, a good experience, but once you have done it once you don’t need to return again. My top tip, book this before you arrive in Rome, you will save a lot of money for the same experience.
Good experience
