Stress Free is Priceless - It is very difficult to get tickets to the Vatican. We couldn't risk it with a big family group so we bought this tour. It was well worth it as we didn't have to wait in any lines and had an expert tour guide for the Vatican.

A Beautiful, Family-Friendly Vatican Experience - Our Vatican tour was an unforgettable experience! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and made history come alive with fascinating stories and insights. We were traveling with a multigenerational family—including a toddler—and the pace was perfect for everyone. The tour was organized, engaging, and gave us a much deeper appreciation for the Vatican’s art, architecture, and significance. Highly recommend for families or anyone wanting a meaningful and seamless visit!

An afternoon at the Vatican - Great tour of the Museum, the Sistine Chapel, and St Peters Basilica. Our tour guide Roberta was knowledgeable and pleasant. She helped us navigate the crowds, it was crowded, and see the key sites in each leg of the tour.

Vatican museum tour and Chapel - Highlight of my trip.
The crowds are overwhelming in Rome so paying for a small group tour is the best way to go. As a group you enter from the side not St Peter’s but the security line moves very fast . The guide provided by this company Silve was brilliant . We moved thought security quickly , put our headsets on so we could hear her talking and off we went . Her knowledge of the Vatican . The museum , the art was brilliant . As a small group we moved more easily thought the massive groups and crowds . Plenty of time for photos and questions . Having a great guide really makes the experience . Just expect masses of people I don’t think it can avoided in Rome . I was able to sit and enjoy the Sistine Chapel . Thank you Silvie this was the one experience I wanted in Rome and thanks to you it didn’t disappoint .

Great choice - great host - Having seen how busy the Vatican was, we are so pleased that we booked this private skip the line tour with our excellent guide Bernadette, who was extremely informative and professional. We now know so much more than we could have expected.

Fantastic Tour - would highly recommend! - This tour was incredible. Our tour guide, Chiarra, was very knowledgeable and helpful. There is so much to see. We loved having just our group of 5 on the tour. We wore headsets so we could hear her throughout the tour. We used elevators where we could to help accommodate one of our friends with mobility issues. Chiarra was always checking on her to make sure she had time to rest when needed. This is a fantastic tour to see the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica and learn about all of them. Would definitely recommend this tour and Chiarra!

Excellent Choice - Go Early! - We learned so much from Silvio, our tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and was kind enough to still accommodate our full tour despite my mixup with the start time. Highly recommend this group for private tours! I also suggest picking an early time slot, as the Vatican gets extremely crowded the later you go. We picked the 8am start time and it was just starting to get packed around 8:30am.

Private Tour Guide with Kids - Booking a private guided tour to the Batican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica is an absolute MUST! Especially when you have children in tow (we have a 12 year old and a 3 year old). Roberto was exceedingly wonderful!! He was knowledgeable, kind, patient and a pro at navigating the stroller/accessible access points to get around efficiently and smoothly. Initially we booked our tour for 8am and due to unforeseen circumstances had to get bumped to 12:30pm. I was very upset initially (because it was pushed around my toddler’s nap time and in the heat of the day). Luckily, it all worked out for the best surprisingly! It wasn’t as busy/packed and we were truly able to enjoy all of the sights and wonders. It was an incredible experience and we highly recommend that you request for Roberto as a private guide for your next tour to the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica! Thank you so much for giving my family the opportunity to experience the Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica in an unforgettable way that we will cherish forever.
