Stop At: Sistine Chapel, Viale Vaticano, 00165 Vatican City Italy

Thanks to this extended tour, you will see much more than the usual, for example, Raphael Rooms, famous for their frescoes painted by Raphael and his workshop. You will also visit the Sobieski Room. You will do it all while enjoying the live orchestra which will play soothing classical music in the background, described as an amazing “concert of colors.” Not to forget, the beautifully illuminated Sistine Chapel which exudes the “natural” form of light, imitates the one that Michelangelo had when he was painting his most famous masterpieces. Right at the end of the tour, take a pleasant stroll down to St. Peter’s Square to capture the evening scenery and take some panoramic pictures of St. Peter’s Basilica.

What an amazing experience! Our guide, a gentleman whose name I cannot recall, was knowledgeable and friendly. Make sure you cover your shoulders and knees or you will have to buy a scarf from somewhere to wrap up in. My only complaint is that I wish more time was spent seeing things instead of explaining all of the art. Likely just me though; not an art enthusiast- even though Michelangelo was brilliant!

Great tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Would have liked more time in the Sistine Chapel! Recommend tour for anyone wanting to learn!

Booked this because advert said St Peters Basilica skip the line included, but when I received booking confirmation it wasnt included. Unlike other tours this had no optuon to cancel. When it came to the actual tour, we were redirectred from the meeting place to another operator and found people booking with them direct paying half the price we had paid. Disgusting. Will never trust Rome Tours and I hope Tripadvisor/La Vacanza Travel will now respond to the complaint i made several days ago.

The Vatican night tour which we booked 1 week before the trip.This tour was recommended and was worth the early start! The group size was just right, not too big, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rome Tour Tickets again.

This is a review of the tour not the Vatican Museums. It was supposed to have a maximum limit of 24 people Whilst walking to the Vatican I got to 30 and stopped counting and that was excluding the two who bailed out of their own volition at the meeting point. The tour was supposed to start at 7:10. We had yet to see a painting at 8:45. The guide obviously knew her stuff but she was basically herding sheep. Also the Friday night idea is sold as an opportunity to see the museum after hours with the implication it will be less crowded. All I can say is I wouldn’t want to see it more crowded. I am not claustrophobic but the heat and number of people were downright unpleasant at some points. Not recommended.
