Reviews for Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel And St. Peter’s Basilica Guided Tour
Great experience
Cheryl_J
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and had all kinds of teaching aids so we knew exactly what we were looking at when we went into the Sistine Chapel. I am so good I went with a tour.
Such a Great Learning Experience!

My wife and I really enjoyed visiting the Vatican with our tour guide, Diana. The Vatican is such an immense structure that it can be overwhelming. Diana helped shape our tour with a narrative that helped us better understand the history, art, and personalities of the time (especially Michelangelo). We feel very fortunate to have had Diana as our guide.
Worth it!

Even though it rained, the experience was awesome and would like to do a solo tour now. Our guide was VERY knowledgeable, and we learned quite a lot about the Vatican.
Fun Vatican museum tour

We booked the Vatican museum tour for six of us. The tour guide was so knowledgeable. She knew everything about the Vatican museum and the Sistine chapel. She explained everything as we were walking through.
