This was a highlight of visiting Rome. The best is being in the Cistine Chapel without all the people. It was a magical experience opening the doors and turning the lights on! Highly recommend.

An unforgettable experience. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to tour the Vatican Museum and see the Sistine Chapel with a group of 20 people starting at 6 am without the public. It was worth every penny. Being able to open the doors to each room and experience the lights being turned on was spectacular - words can’t even describe how incredible and special the experience was. Sitting in the Sistine Chapel for like 15 minutes just soaking it all in with only our small group was extraordinary. 5+++ stars.

EXCELLENT! I was so impressed by this tour! Going into the Vatican a full two hours before it opens was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our guide was friendly and guided us through the museum while telling us about the history of different pieces. Seeing the Gallery of Maps and Sistine Chapel alone was incredible!
