Vatican at Closing Time with Sistine Chapel

Vatican tour at closing time

Overall a great experience with a well-organized and knowledgeable tour guide. Even though I was concerned we won't have enough time to see what the tour program promised, this wasn't the case. We had enough time to see main highlights of all the museums we visited within the Vatican Museums, as well as to admire the Sistine Chapel wonderful art and frescoes.

Not good.

The only valuable thing about the "tour" was the ticket that gave us access to the Vatican Museum. Basically, we spent two hours rushing past literally thousands of amazing works of art while the guide gave a series of superficial comments in our earbud. Much of the time was made anxious by fear of falling behind and losing contact with the group. In retrospect, we should have just gone at our own pace and abandoned the group. The only reason to take this tour is if it is the only way you can get timely access to the Vatican Museum.

Sui Generis

The Vatican Museum with the Sistine Chapel closing time tour with an estimated of around 75% lesser crowd than the normal hours is of its own kind ! Thanks to our knowledgeable quide, Federico (I pray I wrote his name correctly) . He is very professional and know his stuff very well.

Vatican at Closing Time with Sistine Chapel

My mother and I had the absolute pleasure of touring the Vatican at Closing Time with Sistine Chapel and our guide, Patrizia, was nothing short of spectacular. Her warmth, kindness, and deep knowledge brought every moment to life. She made the experience personal and unforgettable, guiding us with grace and passion through one of the world’s most awe-inspiring places. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—thank you, Patrizia, for an evening we’ll always treasure! Best, Erika

Excellent guide

Tour was very interesting. We would've liked more time to view the halls and rooms that we were passing through to appreciate some of what we were looking at. Our guide was fantastic – very knowledgeable and personable.

Vatican tour

We had a great tour with Stefano, he is very knowledgeable and respected our preferences in terms of what we wanted to see. We breezed through the security line and spent as much time on the tour as we had wanted.

Good but needed time in Chapel

The tour was good. There was much chat about the sistine chapel outside of it as we could not continue the tour and discussion inside however we were only allowed in the chapel about 8 minutes before the entire place was closing so there was very little time to be in there and take it all in. I would recommend for these end of day tours of being sure people get a little more time inside the grand finale.

Great tour.

Loved the smaller group late in the day! Fewer people and no rush. John did a great job!

Informative and fun

Daniel was terrific, well informed and answered all of our questions. Great tour

Wonderful tour, knowledgeable guide, would do it again!
