Don’t buy your tickets through Viator. We paid $461.92 for 4 tickets that when the tickets were issued on site were $25 each. Total rip off.

Even with a long line, full of other groups that had paid for a skip the line tour, our guide was able to still get us to the front and into the museum immediately! She was very knowledgeable and got us through the museum and Sistine Chapel at a good pace and we ended right on time! Very enjoyable experience.

Our guide Ale was excellent, she was very knowledgeable and helpful. We didn’t do any lines and it was very well organized. I recommend it.

There are so many tourists trying to see the same things at the same time that it takes away from the experience. It did not feel spiritual at all.

We had a wonderful time! Our guide, Mauricio, was fantastic and made learning about Vatican City so engaging. The tour was small and felt very personal, almost like a private experience. We had a small mix-up with our tickets — I forgot to purchase one — but the agency handled it quickly and professionally. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure everything was sorted so we could still enjoy the tour. I highly recommend this experience!
