Best decision you’ll make!

We had such an amazing tour! It is SO WORTH IT to take the early tour. It gets you in line before the museum open and saves you from some of the crowds. Our tour guide was an archeologist and she knew so much she did such a great job at making sure we got all of the information and keeping us on time. It was seriously amazing! Would go again!!!
Great tour guide and experience in the Vatican

George was a great guide. His explanation of the paintings in the Sistine Chapel provided good context. The page was spot on, and I would recommend this tour.
Great guide!

Mitra, our guide, was the best guide we have had in Italy. She is smart, funny and a bit edgy. She made our Vatican tour super informative as well as fun. We recommend her highly!
Good tour

Enthusiastic guide, very knowledgeable. We missed the basilica due the pope’s presence but we knew it was a possibility as we had a Wednesday morning tour. Easy to find group directions.
Not as expected

This tour did not end up being what we expected. We intentionally booked the 7AM to get in super early with a small group. Our tour guide for 7 AM was a no-show so the tour company combined us with the 7:30 tour. This made our tour a large group of 20, leaving 30 mins later with many other tours. The order of this tour was St Peters first (it’s huge so not super crowded at 7:45 when we arrived) - then we left the basilica and walked outside for 15 mins all the way to the museum entrance, getting there at 9 when it was already a total zoo. Really regretted losing that half hour as we lost out on the crowd free experience we wanted.
