During periods of Sede Vacante, the Sistine Chapel will be closed to the public without prior notice due to the Papal Conclave (election of a new Pope).

Too long in the museum. Too rushed in the Basillica. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but too lengthy. She knew her facts but it was too much. We were 2 hours in the museum. Way too long

This is a great tour. You're left in the Vatican afterwards to continue exploring. I would say the Vatican is extremely busy so good to have a guide

The tour was just okay. My guide was a very pleasant woman and knowledgeable; however, it was occasionally tough to understand what she was describing and it felt like we breezed through some important parts of the museum. The audio devices the Vatican provides to large groups also aren’t the best, so you really need someone who can be quite articulate in the busy parts. If you want to get through the museums, Sistine chapel, and basilica quickly, it’s not a bad option. I can’t say I would recommend this tour though.

Incredible to see the Sistine chape n and the actual Nasiliaca. What I didn’t like was that there seemed to be dozens of groups making it impossible to move around.@

Out tour guide was Elenor and she was amazing. Knowledgeable friendly and thru in a few jokes here and there. St. Peter's basilica was the most beautiful church you will ever see and it my wife to tears the first time we saw it. The tour was very professional and we enjoyed every moment of it.
