This tour is absolutely amazing! Being able to see the museums and the chapel in a small group can’t be beat. Worth every penny!

The tour was amazing. Giovanna was so informed and gave us a lot of history within the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel. There was no one else inside which gave us exclusive access and amazing photos. The only issue is that it was very hard to hear her because there were 20 people and unless you were right beside her you couldn’t hear anything. Transmitters would have been very beneficial. Also, some of the keys opened windows and smaller doors that weren’t very exciting (considering the price of the tour). When we were in the Sistine chapel, the cleaner turned on the floor polisher and we couldn’t hear anything. She was cleaning with a very loud floor machine and crunching plastic bottles which totally ruined the mood of the tour considering we were in such a sacred place. We also couldn’t hear anything at that time since the machine was so loud. Our tour was morning of Sept 19/2022.

Words can’t describe this experience. Unlocking the door and turning on the lights of the Sistine chapel gave me chills. Rose is an excellent tour guide, she is Roman and it is obvious she loves what she does. I will remember this until the day I die.

This is a one-of-a-kind experience our family will remember forever. Spending 2 hours in the Vatican Museums with a small group was extraordinary and the time spent inside the Sistine Chapel was truly magical. We can't recommend this tour more!
