Reviews for Skip The Line: Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel & Raphael Rooms + Basilica Access
Amazing and very moving experience.

Sabina was excellent and because we were not allowed to take pictures of the Sistine Chapel she gave the group a detailed information on what to expect when we were ushered in. Explained the different artists like Raphael and Michelangelo.
She showed us access to St. Peter's Basilica.
Excellent Tour

Francesco was amazing on the Vatican museum/Sistine Chapel small group tour!
He is extremely knowledgeable about all things Greek/Etruscan/Roman, and very humble and his passion is contagious. We - 3 of us form Toronto were there on Saturday - Oct. 5/24 and amidst the pouring rain provided a dose of comic relief and really made the tour! Grazia milli
Extremely disappointed with tour company

Running late as it is extremely difficult transit system in Rome. Spoke with rep and were told tickets would be sent to us and we can get in on our own. Upon arrival we were not let in. Horribly rude guards, sad how tourists are treated! We waited in regular line 45 min and saw a little, exhausted and lost $620!! We will NEVER book anything with this tour company again! DECEPTIVE! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
Wonderful tour and guide
