Amazing!

Amazing to go through this enormous historic and religious significant site. Matej, our guide, was able to get us through the organized chaos while at the same time providing us with context. What I think was the most impressive was that he was able to make us understand the significance of it all making it even more worthwhile.

Amazing!

We had an amazing experience on our Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica tour! Matej was a brilliant tour guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and able to answer everyone’s questions with ease. He explained everything so well, making the history come to life.

One of the best perks of the tour was skipping not just one but two lines with our ticket! It wasn’t too busy when we visited, but in the summer, the crowds can be overwhelming—so if you’re thinking about just getting a regular ticket, don’t! The guided tour is absolutely worth it.

At the end of the tour, you’re left in St. Peter’s Basilica to explore at your own pace. If you want more time in the Vatican Museums, I’d recommend booking separate tours.

Overall, a fantastic experience. We loved it, and Matej was outstanding! Highly recommend.
