Skip the line to Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel and Basilica

Ilaria was our tour guide for our Skip the Line Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel tour with our guide taking us to St Peters Square and our free access to the Basilica without needing to wait in a queue here either We were in a small group of maximum 10 and had headphones to hear everything being said even when surrounded by other people Of course it was very busy but we were given a tour that still felt just for us Ilaria had so much knowledge of History and Art making everything of interest Because there is meant to be silence in the Sistine Chapel Ilaria explained the painting of the ceiling and walls at the beginning of the visit so we understand everything before entering We recommend the first entry to the Vatican at 8am and really the only wait was for security on entry but that wasnt a problem This is a must visit tour when in Rome We booked with Viator and were met by the Ecoart team on the steps opposite the Vatican Dont forget you must have knees and shoulders covered

Dont Miss This

Laura was the best tour guide I have ever had Her profession as an art historian was so valuable for this tour she made history come to life and is very engaging The pace of this tour was perfect if I had more time in Rome I would absolutely do this tour again
