The Key Master Tour did not disappoint! Our guide, Barbara, gave us so much information as she and the Key Master guided us through The Vatican museum allowing us to unlock doors and turn on lights. To be able to experience everything in such an intimate setting was breathtaking!

We took the early morning Key masters tour and it was unbelievable. Last year we did a private tour with a skip the line. The crowds were miserable. This year we booked the Key Masters. It is not just a tour but an experience. Well worth the cost. I would highly recommend! Our tour guide was amazing. Just imagine being in each of the museums and Chapel with a small group of 20! No words. Enjoy your experience!

This is the most memorable tour of our trip. Being able to enter the Vatican with only 20 people and use the keys to open doors to different areas of the museum is amazing, but to open the Sistine Chapel is a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend.

This was a highlight of visiting Rome. The best is being in the Cistine Chapel without all the people. It was a magical experience opening the doors and turning the lights on! Highly recommend.
