Beautiful visit to the Sistine Chapel - Beautiful visit with our guide Luidwig. He gave us a lot of explanations in the long wait to get back to the Vatican Museum. Very nice and very professional. The Sistine Chapel is just beautiful

Matt was a great tour... - Matt was a great tour guide. Very informative and well traveled. We had to wait in line for a bit since it was the “free last Sunday of the month” and there were no skip the line options. Easy and great way to see the Vatican

That I learned many things about the Vatican - It was a fantastic day that we started from very early everything very punctual with the schedules, they avoided us from queuing long lines as they are very busy places we had a tour with a lot of information about the place we were visiting all the staff very friendly with the attention and made us spend a nice day

Vatican Sunday tour - The guide was late. But she informed us alot. We had to stand in a long line. She skipped some rooms as some of the group members had to catch a train.

Good experience - Lots of walking to meet up and then to line. It was helpful navigating Vatican City access. This is not a skip the line event, we waited in line for a long time to enter. The guide was awesome. Price might be a bit steep for no line skipping.

Tour starts when you get... - Tour starts when you get into the Vatican but they don’t share that the wait to get in can be about 2 hours so it threw off my day. Guide was hard to hear and it moved too fast to really see anything. I would recommend going without a tour if possible because it’s easy to do.

It was a scam transaction. I hope nobody falls into this trap again. - We were not able to avail of the activity as mentioned in viator. The group tour didn’t happen. We had to fall in line to get to the museum ourselves. We found out from the people in line that every fourth Sunday of the month is free. Basically we paid 15,000 pesos (almost $300) for nothing. It turned out to be a scam.

Don’t book this tour! - The guide slammed us through the museum so she could get us to the Sistine chapel and officially end her tour with us because she had to meet with another group she booked just 3.5 hours after our tour start time. Our tour meet up time was 8:30. Her next tour was at noon. The actual time she spent talking to us about items in the Vatican museum was 45 minutes. Just 45 minutes! The rest of the time was spent in line where she wouldn’t talk to us about anything because “it wasn’t fair because the others couldn’t hear her”. She should have brought head sets knowing this. Lots of other tour groups were doing this. During the 45 minutes in the museum, she spent 10 minutes talking about the Vatican garden and “to look at all the beautiful trees and there is every kind of tree here.” Pointless info when all that history was sitting inside.
