Vatican city private tour with museum,sistine chapel& st Peter VIP no line entry

We booked this tour through citywonders.com. What an excellent tour!! Oscar, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic, full of great information, pointed out a lot of things you wouldn’t have known about, knew the history of all the sites we saw, including the paintings, tapestries and buildings. Easy to find the designated meeting point and get checked in then Oscar escorted us to the skip the line entrance, got us our headsets and off we went. The range on the headsets was really good so you could wander a bit or linger at points of interest and still here Oscar’s narrative. And he was always open to questions, I don’t think anyone managed to ask a question he didn’t have an answer for, as I said, he’s a great guide!! We toured the museum then into the Sistine chapel. As there is no talking in the chapel, Oscar had filled us in on many of the things to look for prior to entering so we could marvel at the paintings and find the points of interest Oscar had mentioned. Then on to St. Peter’s. We had to switch out headsets (for some reason they use different ones in the basilica) but Oscar made sure we were all looked after. Great tour there and when we were done Oscar collected the headsets and we were free to explore St.Peter’s on our own … take the stairs to the catacombs and see all the interred popes down below, very interesting and some neat old architecture history too. Overall a fantastic tour and highly recommended.

We loved it all; everything was beautiful, particularly St Peter’s Basilica. Our tour guide Christina was delightful.
