If you’re debating on whether or not you should book this tour, just know it was one of the best decisions I made on our trip to Rome. Our tour guide was THE BEST. I think her name was Barbara but can’t remember. You get in the Vatican early before it opens to public. She made sure we were one of the first groups to enter as the line for other first entry tours gets long very quickly. She was so knowledgeable and moved at a fast pace but you understand why when there are tsunamis of people trying to see the same thing. She got us first access on closed off areas in the Vatican. Overall best experience we had and exceeded our expectations.
Amazing!

Truly excellent experience. The company organizer who met us at the caffe to start was so friendly and helpful, and our tour guide, Barbara, was perfection. Friendly, hugely informative, funny all around couldn’t have asked for more. She knew ways around even the other tour guides, which was HUGELY important. We were not first in line to enter, but we somehow ended up among the first in each gallery without feeling rushed. One thing I wish I’d better understood: when you go into the Sistine chapel (wow), she’ll tell you that you can either leave the chapel with her to head to the Basilica OR stay in the Vatican Museum — you can’t re-enter the museum if you go out with her. I wish I’d have understood that our tour was pretty much over at the point and that she’d be pointing us to the Basilica to go solo. I could have stayed in the Museum for the full day, so I wish I’d have known to stay. But, that was only a minor point — can’t be mad about heading to the Basilica (wow). All in all, absolutely highly recommend.

The early tour is definitely a must to avoid the largest crowds. We went in quickly with the tour guide and were able to move through the various areas in the Vatican complex. If you want more time in specific areas, however, you may want to consider a longer tour.
Heinous expwrience

The Guide’s English was not clear, sound system with a lot of interference. It supposed to be a VIP early entrance 7.30 am and our museum tickets were actually for 8.30 am. We had to lined up
For about 30-40 minutes. Excessive time wasted in the terrace of the museum and then the museum tour itself, was done super fast missing such as important areas like Raphael’s room including La Academia painting, the Matisse room among others. At the end, the tour finished outside Saint Peter’s Basilica so there was no tour about the Basilica. Awful experience
Was okay, nothing special for price

Didn’t get in at 7am or 7.30am as planned. So unfortunately falsely advertised.
Tour guide was laid back but didn’t come into the basilisca with us to explain what was going on or pointing things out. Felt quite rushed.
