Vatican at Closing Time with Sistine Chapel

Excellent Tour

I would book with these tour guys again. Good job.

Fabricio was a fabulous tour guy! He was extremely knowledgeable and spoke English very well so we were able to understand everything. Highly recommend!

Very interesting!

The Guide was super: funny, energetic and passionate! I would have like to pass less time in all the rooms and more in the Sistin Chapel. Moreover, she told us that we couldn't talk in the Chapel so she explained the important things outside and let us go alone at the end of the tour. In the Chapel, a lot of people were talking so I think that she would be able to stay with us and explain inside de Chapel since she is an expert of it.

Amazing Experience

Your guide is an actual Vatican employee and they are invested in what they do, as they are very knowledgeable with the history of these ancient pieces of history. You will learn something as well as maybe get a chuckle. You will not be disappointed! Joe S.

Great experience!

We bought the tour ahead of time for our trip to Rome. We were very pleased with Jonathan our tour guide. He made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Great Tour

If we hadn’t been so exhausted from our flight from the west coast of US, we’d have given him 6 stars. Super knowledgeable and very friendly!

Definitely less people

This tour was wonderful for less people. Our guide was super knowledgeable . The only bummer was we spent a solid 30 min looking at signs of the sistene chapel and taking about it instead of seeing anything in the museum or being in the chapel. Other than that it was a great tour

Good quest for Cappella Sistina

I think this tour is great if you’re mostly interested in seeing the Sistine chapel. It’s worth it just to avoid the massive lines and have a less packed/chaotic time to be inside the Museum. I had a misunderstanding that I’d be able to spend time looking around the museum outside of the tour, or the tour would include time to wander. It’s mostly a quest for the Sistine chapel with good commentary about the more famous works you pass on the way there. If you have specific Museum rooms or works of art you want to see, this probably isn’t the right format for you. If you want the highlights with a friendly guide, this is a great option!

This is the ideal way to do it!

Seeing the Vatican after closing is the ideal way to see it. No rush, no crowds, no pressure. Our tour guide was a history buff and knew things that we would of never known even if we read every single sign. I would only see the Vatican this way in the future.

Lots to see

Would have liked more time in the chapel, which was the last stop on the tour. We were being rushed out for closing.

Fabiola was fabulous aa a guide. Because of her the tour was fun and enjoyable.

What an amazing tour!

Valeria was an amazing guide. She was knowledgeable organized and so fun. She lead us through the Vatican museum as well as the Sistine chapel. Her knowledge of every room in the museum was staggering. And yet she was able to break it down and make it easy to understand it and to comprehend the point of how the museum was laid out. She did a great job through the Etruscan area to point out some of the real fabulous pieces in the collection that were unusual due to how intact they were. Her deep knowledge of both the history and the art history of the works brought Italian History to life. Her descriptions in the map room really help me understand Italian history in a different way. She was delightful. + Wonderful to speak with. She answered every question put to her in a thoughtful and and respectful manner. I was able to understand everything that she said about the various histories of the Vatican and of Italy as a whole. I highly recommend this tour but even more so with Valeria at the lead.
