EXCELLENT! I was so impressed by this tour! Going into the Vatican a full two hours before it opens was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our guide was friendly and guided us through the museum while telling us about the history of different pieces. Seeing the Gallery of Maps and Sistine Chapel alone was incredible!

Oh my goodness, this is SO the way to experience Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel. I knew it would be great to experience it all first thing in the morning with no one there but I had no clue that we were going to be a part of and experience! Being the first ones of the day opening the doors and gates to the whole place. What? Incredible. Our guide was fabulous too. Loved it all around. Have already shared with friends and on socials how fabulous it really was! So glad I did this.

This tour is totally worth the cost! The experience is just amazing. The ability to see the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel with only 18 other people was simply magical. This gave us the opportunity to not feel rushed and our guide was incredible. This is the only way I would consider seeing these sights again — 5 stars for sure!!
