“Oh my goodness, a magical day in Rome none of us could have imagined.

Everyone in our party of family and friends was delighted.”

I am definitely glad we did this tour. It was well worth the money, despite the heat wave that made it challenging at times.”
Beat Rome’s crowds on an early Vatican tour with the Sistine Chapel, Raphael Rooms, skip-the-line access, and St. Peter’s Basilica.

We hit all the highlights in the Vatican museum and moved to the Sistine Chapel where we were given plenty of time to look at the paintings and take it all in. While this tour is on the pricier side, honestly it’s worth every penny. Getting early access to the museums, Sistine…”
