A friend and I visited rome and wanted to see the vatican museum and st peters bascillica. When we arrived we were approached by a guide company. We looked at the 500 or so people waiting for the bascillica and vatican entry and thought the guides offer of rapid entyry at the party gate along with a guide were a... More

Since people are creatures of dedlines and many people wait to see the vatican on wed. because the pope gives a big public mass on wed. then lots of people are not going to the vatican on thur because they just went on wed.. Also the criuse ships let people off in the morning and they need to be back... More

This was my first trip to Italy and I had only one day in Rome. This tour was the best I decided to do for such a short stay. I booked it online and that was another great idea coz I didn't have to cue inline for hours. I met with the tour guide at a set point and we... More

Amazing and overwhelming place! We bought our tickets online prior to leaving Canada so had an actual reservation. Very glad we did as the line up to get in was literally kilometers long. We were able to bypass the line up and just go in at our reserved time. The place is a huge maze with SO much to see!... More

The Vatican is an amazing experience. All of Rome has beautiful art yet some of the best is in the Vatican Museum. Take a tour, there is simply too much cultural background to understand it all on your own. In addition, my Mom needed a wheelchair to get around. The tour guide made sure she had one and was kept...

We queued for 45 minutes in the rain, rebuffing umbrella sellers and guides offering to get you to the front. We would have queued for hours if needed. We paid our 15 eouros and walked through endless corridors and rooms of opulence. You will never see a more stunning collection of art and antiquities in one place ANYWHERE in the... More

Went in the morning and the queue was moving rather smoothly. Amazing works of art and sculptures and ooh yes, Sistine chapel was a must but it was just overly crowded. Nonetheless, it was def. worth a trip. More

I was originally on the fence about doing the museum. I figured if we had seen the square and the basilica we had covered as much of the Vatican as we needed to and we didn't have a scheduled tour so I didn't want to stand in line (it's forever long first thing in the day). Through the tour group... More

I think this was the most beautiful site we visited. We had a guided tour (Viator) with a most knowledgeable guide, Simmone. We booked the earliest tour so we could not only "skip the line" but entered before the general public. The treasures of the museums were fantastic, the frescoes amazing, the Sistine Chapel was gorgeous and our guide explained... More
