Things to do in Vatican City

Eddy is the most amazing guide! He is equal parts of knowledgeable and humourous. His detailed explanations helped us to appreciate the centuries of history, culture and art that is preserved in the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. I would definitely recommend paying more to get a guided experience! It's well worth it!

I booked a different tour of the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel for the morning, but my son really wanted to go up to the dome. I was unsure if adding this was going to be too much walking for me and my son after the morning tour. I am happy to say I am so glad I added this to our itinerary because it made us feel like our trip to the Vatican was now complete. What a special and unique way of looking down into the nave of the basilica, and a wonderful view of the city from above. My son said it was one of the best things we did on the whole trip! We met the guides outside the designated café, and they helped us with walking us to the start of the line. We only waited 5 minutes to get through security, and then we were free to roam around the inside of the basilica and up to the dome at our designated time slot.

This was so worth the amount paid. I got the three attractions pass and was able to book the Vatican Museums, Colosseum, and the Castel Sant'Angelo with this pass. It was extremely convenient and easy to use.

The e-voucher provided by the Klook platform cannot be used directly. Please remember to refer to the email sent by the tour operator and go to the designated meeting point at the specified time to check in with the staff. After checking in, the tour guide will distribute tickets and audio guides to the group members (please keep your tickets safe, as they will be checked at least twice after entering the Vatican). Our tour guide was very responsible and knowledgeable, providing us with detailed explanations of the historical background and interesting facts about the Vatican and its architecture, which was very enriching. Please note that once you leave a building within the Vatican, you cannot re-enter it. If you wish to visit again, you will need to purchase another ticket (for example, once you leave the museum for the chapel, you cannot return to the museum). Also, this tour does not include Raphael's Rooms. Tickets to climb the dome must be purchased separately. The dome has two levels: the first level has 300 steps (with an elevator), and the second level to the very top has 200 steps (no elevator). From the highest building in Rome, you can overlook the entire city.

we got Vicenzo as our tour guide, small group of 10. Lucky that we got him as the guide, he is understanding, responsible, informative, fun with mini quizzes, knows everything about Vatican, gives us break/pee stops. you cant ask for more! The meeting point is very easy, the team did well. we also met new friends from the tour. overall, what a perfect tour. bravo 👏

Our tour guide Eugenio/Eugene (sorry not sure of spelling) was amazing! He was so funny and had so much knowledge to share. The tour was great and it included everything we wanted to know. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

It's super easy to walk in, and you don't have to wait in line at all. That was absolutely perfect for me.

Good information before and during the visit. Almost no line because we had booked. Others stood in very long lines in the sun in front of the church. The climb up to the dome is long and strenuous but incredibly beautiful. Highly recommended from here.

Everything went well on this tour. I just feel like the itinerary was fast-paced, but I would still say it’s worth it. We had ample time to see the highlights of the trip. After the tour, you have the opportunity to spend your time in St Peter’s Basilica and explore the vast surroundings including the Pieta and souvenir shop.

I was suspicious at how cheap this was at first compared to all the other tours on Viator and Get Your Guide, but this tour saved me and my friend as a last minute booking! Amazing tour partner Towns of Italy with a hilarious but very knowledgeable tour guide Daniela leading our pack. Highly recommend as the Vatican Museums + St Peters Basilica are beast of history and art in itself.

I highly recommend visiting the Vatican Museums. Upon arrival at the meeting point, our guide thoroughly explained the process, distributed tickets, and led us through the fast-track entrance. We also downloaded the audio guide app. If you have time, I suggest purchasing a guided tour. The museum houses an extensive collection, with each piece telling a fascinating story. Having the explanations made the experience truly wonderful.

The local tour guide always smile and is super friendly. I enjoyed the tour very much.
