Overview

Be among the first visitors of the day to enter the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel before the crowds have poured in. With the help of your enthusiastic guide, you will sweep past the long galleries of tapestries, sculptures, and frescoes directly to the most magnificent and important piece, the Sistine Chapel. By making Michelangelo’s masterpiece your first formal stop on the tour you will arrive before nearly anyone else has had the time to find a map! This will mean that you and your small group of 12 people or less will have plenty of time to gasp in wonder at the work of this Renaissance genius while your guide brings the art to life with stories and details of its creation.

Don't waste money. A waste of money. Not worth it. Don't book this.Go by yourself. You can do it alone. There is no need to book this tour.

Good over view...disappointed not to see St Peter's tho and the square. At least we weren't rushed thru the Sistine Chapel like so many other tours

Our guide made sure we were super early to the Sistine chapel! We went back just a couple of hours after our tour ended and it was packed like sardines. The tour started a little after 8 (the company the guide works for, not the guides fault) and we took the most direct route to the Sistine Chapel. This was great bc it was a colder rainy morning and people were packing in. Going in this early allowed us to experience the museum with almost no crowds at all, and our guide told us about some of the more prominent art and about all the galleries along the way. So even though the tour was a little than 1.5h, we had a great time! Our guide, Oscar was really informative on everything we were interested in, and even gave us great recommendations on what to see after the Sistine Chapel based on our interests! We had a blast and would definitely do it again

The description said we would go directly to the Sistine first thing in the morning so it wouldn’t be crowded. We got a regular tour just like anyone else where the guide slow strolled us through one wing of the museum. Do not sign up for this one as the extra cost is complete waste of money.
