Review for: Join-in Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica tour

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.

Excellent early morning Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour. The early access made a big difference because the visit felt more organized and less crowded than the usual daytime tours. Our guide was knowledgeable, clear, and engaging, explaining the history, art, and important details in a way that made the experience much more meaningful. Seeing the Sistine Chapel early in the day was truly memorable. Overall, it was well worth it and highly recommended for anyone visiting Rome.

Francesco was a wonderful tour guide and always kept the pace easy and gave us a lot of nice trivia about our tour. we got to see all the nice sights and artworks of the vatican. It's a bit pricey compared to the other walking tours I saw online, but this tour was very comprehensive, didn't feel rushed, and the no waiting in line was definitely worth the package. thank you!

Our guide Jebila, was really good. Not only was his knowledge of the Vatican perfectly delivered, his added humour really made what could have been an overwhelming experience, seem much more relaxed n personal. Highly recommend you buy this tour via Klook as the lines to the Vatican are sooo long n Jebila basically whizzed us through the crowds. Thank you
