We visited the Vatican on the last Sunday of the month when the entrance is free. If it is a big family group then it is worth it but it is obviously very very busy and the queues extend right round the Vatican. It took us over an hour before we could get in but it was worth the wait... more

Vatican City is immense. I had no idea it had so much to offer. It was an expensive entrance fee but so worth it. Bring comfortable shoes and a camera, but watch out- picture taking is not allowed in many areas and you'll get kicked out if you persist. I loved Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. My husband loved the many galleries... more

Had a great tour of the Vatican with Angel Tours Jimmy from Ireland. Very informative and we saw optical illusions in the tapestry room that the other tours just marched right on by. When our tour was over we contiued on to climb to the top of the dome. Our son told me there was an elevator. He didn't mention... more

We stood in a long line for a long long time. i don't know if it was the waiting or the reputation of the sight, but I almost was disappointed. Too many people, difficult to see things. Maybe it was just too magnificent for me! more

We just returned from spending a month in Italy, and one of the highlights of our trip was a tour of the Vatican which we booked through Roman Odessey tours - recommneded by Rick Steves in his Italy book. We received the Rick Steves discount and were very pleased with the tour - the guide was extremely knowledgable, kept a... more

My husband, two daughters (ages 13 and 11) and I hired the private company, "Through Eternity" for a private 3.5 hour tour of the Vatican. The prices seemed high at first but in the end well worth it. My daughters were entertained by Justin our tour guide, who was knowledgeable, entertaining, prompt, and a pleasure to meet. Justin made the... more

A must see! We arrived mid morning and there was a wait to get in but it went very quickly. There are people outside walking the line to see if you want to get in straight away, sounds good but it would have cost us €40 each and when asked how much it cost to get in if you waited... more

No matter what religion you are the Vatican can’t fail to inspire. The museum’s art blows you away, St Peter’s Square has you in awe and the Basilica has to be experienced to be believed. Don’t expect to ever see it all but have fun trying. more

I am writing this review as a non religious person. Piazza san Pietro is stunning! Here you will find the opportunity to see the Swiss guard (very dandy), you can buy your post cards and stamps and send them through the vaticans postal service (take a pen, they charge 1 euro to buy one). This is where you will find... more
