Excellent
This is an unbelievable experience, I can not say enough about how amazing and exclusive this was. To have the Vatican Museum to yourself for the morning, still, quiet, calm, taking whatever photos you like with nobody in them, priceless. Later in the day if you stay you will see the crowds of people you didn't deal with, you will see the tour groups huddled around signs in the sun outside because they are not allowed to talk inside where your tour guid could. This is an expensive tour for a reason.

Antonio was a wonderful and energetic tour guide. It was fantastic opportunity to have exclusive access to Vatican museum before the crowds. Thanks for a great experience!

The ability to see the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, without crowds, was very special. There is so much to see that i wish we had more time on the tour. The only criticism is that the guide was very knowledgable, but since we were walking in a group of 20 people, it was impossible to hear him speaking for most of the trip. Would have been much better to have the hearing devices to support his conversation.

This tour is amazing! To be the ONLY GROUP in the Vatican museum at this time... is just priceless. You can see those beautiful and historical items without competing with thousands of other folks for vantage points. Photos are easy - as you're not being 'rushed thru' from room to room due to all the other tourists. Seeing the amazing rooms 'come to light' as the doors are unlocked (one by one) and lights turn on... is hard to put into words. Worth every penny - best tour in Rome!
