Rome: Skip-the-Line Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Incredible guide. Having someone who loves there work makes a difference. Wrangling 20 people all with head sets can't be easy. Our guide was ON. Funny, a little irreverent and very well spoken.

An experience that I would repeat and recommend!!!!!
The fantastic guide told us a lot of things about the works of art found in the museum, which are not read in art or history books, he asked us questions, gave us data, and gave us time to observe carefully. those he told us.
There were a lot of people, but with the circuit we did we managed to see the most important things without missing anything notable.

We were on time at the designated meeting place and received our briefing . We proceeded to walk up to the Vatican City. As we approached the area where we crossed the street, the police stoped about 20% of our group. The guide was not interested in keeping our group together and proceeded to leave parts or the group. She proceeded on into the entrance of the Vatican without part of the group. We got left out and the guards would not allow us to enter. We had to spend all day finding tickets!!!! DISASTER GUIDE!! DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!! If there are worse, I don't know where you could find them!!!! HORRIBLE GUIDE!!

Left our hotel with plenty of time to get to the experience (2 hours for a 50 minute journey), however the trains, buses and Ubers were all either full (these are so full you cannot push on) or 30mins + away therefore we were going to be late, I tried to call the experience to which they didn’t answer, also I messaged them on their chat to say I’ll be late. Once we got there (8:40) a lady told us we are on the next tour at 9:20 then 10 mins later she told us “oh no, you’ve obviously missed it” appreciate yes we were slightly late, however the lack of compromise from this tour operator in regards to either rebooking or a partial refund was really disappointing based on it being neither us nor the tour operators fault. Word of advice- do not book morning slots, they do not advise you of how busy these will be and then are exceptionally sarcastic when you are trying to request another experience or a refund, with no compromise at all. It does not make any sense that they wouldn’t keep the ticket money for themselves and simply return the service money.

İt is almost just a sistine shapel tour, it took 2 hours from meeting point to end of the tour but most of time spent with walking. I think problem is not guide, problem is the time and route(and firm who plan th tour). İf we cut spare time we just had 25-30 min with guide and give the firm 110€ for it.

The art. The guide talked a lot and was very informative but did not tell me when we entered the Sistine chapel.
He had told us, no talking and everyone including him were talking so I didn’t realize we were standing in the chapel. I failed to look up. My loss but I was thinking we were in a holding area about to enter the chapel.

There’s nothing against the tour operator or our wonderful guide, my gripe is with the fact that they simply let too many people in at the same time! This was not a tour but felt more like cattle being led to slaughter. Shoulder to shoulder, belly to back, fighting your way through when someone decides to stop to actually see something! This is a poor excuse for a museum tour and the blame lies square with the fact that there seems to be no regulation on the quantity of visitors. Our guide was wonderful from the LoveRoma tours through Viator and was extremely knowledgeable about all sorts of things about the Vatican and its history and the Sistine chapel but was very apologetic about the crowds. I’m glad I saw what I could see but I would not recommend this tour to anyone until there is regulation.

Rome traffic caused our commute time to be twice the length estimated (5 miles took an hour). We missed the tour, no credit given though I feel like the entry ticket price should be returned. We attempted to stand in line to gain entry and the wait was unbearable, bought tix through another agency to gain access the same day, cost was $60 per person.
