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 did the night walking tour with carpe diem tour. it was absolutely amazing! our guide Maham is so well versed and she gave us a lot of bite sized knowledge and interesting facts about the city. I love how passionate she is about her job! she also introduced the nice places to visit and go to! love it and would recommend everyone to book this tour!

We bought the tickets to skip the queue but there was no queue in the early morning in January. However, the lift access was worth it cause the steps was quite high, therefore was harder to climb. Thanks to no crowd, we took our time up on the dome and taking photos. The architecture , the art works and the views were just amazing amazing. There is a little gift shop on top of the basilica which offers nice presents for loved ones.

Our Vatican Museums tour was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout the entire experience. She made sure everyone stayed together and never felt lost, which we really appreciated given how busy it can be. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight, bringing the history and artwork to life. She guided us seamlessly through the museums—truly a magnificent experience from start to finish.

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.

I didn't see any reviews when I bought it, but later I got nervous when I saw the reviews because there were three negative reviews out of four. The platform didn't support refunds either, so I could only take a chance. Fortunately, I was able to redeem it in the end, but it was a bit of a hassle. You can't scan the electronic QR code directly. You have to find a staff member next to the small shop in front of the Foot Locker store and exchange it for a paper ticket to successfully enter St. Peter's Basilica. Before going to the museum, you have to go to the shop diagonally opposite to exchange it again. However, the fast track was good and saved a lot of queuing.

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.

the guide Stefano was so knowledgeable that he shared a lot of stories and insights on the museum and chapel. He was frank and humorous! a very lovely guide! I really enjoyed the tour a lot.

The ticket exchange staff are waiting at the designated location, next to the restaurant, with a noticeable white flag. Then, they take all the group members to queue up together. Today, the first security check took an hour and a half, and queuing to go up to the top took another hour. It's quite tiring if you're not physically fit. The tour leader said that today was already considered fast, so you should allow at least 4 hours here before booking anything else, otherwise you'll be rushing around like me.

There were the booking group who waited for us at the specified location and our guide, an elderly lady (didn't get her name) was very knowledgeable about the Vatican City. I learnt a lot from this trip. Also, it was superb to see the stamina and enthusiasm of the guide which kept us also wanting for more.

This is a very good tour but it is really tiring. be prepared to do a lot of walking and stand for the whole duration. the guide is very knowledgeable. the tour is quite expensive and it starts very early to avoid the big crowds. the walk from meeting place to the vatican museum is also quite far. after the vatican museum, the guide will take u to saint peter’s basilica.

I felt the overall itinerary was enriching, and the tour guide was very dedicated and provided detailed explanations. However, we had to arrange our own transportation to the attractions. On the day of my tour, there was a delay with the Vatican itinerary in the morning, which forced us to skip lunch and rush to the Colosseum by taxi. It was incredibly rushed and stressful! Fortunately, everything worked out in the end, but we didn't have time to eat lunch. I'd suggest booking two separate half-day tours for more flexibility.
