I had the privilege of visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel with the Keys Master tour. I must say it exceeded all my expectations: it was an UNFORGETTABLE experience.<br />The silence of the museums, the darkness of the galleries, the opening of the doors—being alone and the first to enter places filled with history, art, and beauty—is something that is very hard to describe.<br />The lights being switched on, the echo of our footsteps—we were only about a dozen people—the guide’s voice breaking the almost mystical silence of these places and the magic of the Sistine Chapel without any crowds are unique and lasting sensations that are worth far more than the price paid.<br />To anyone who manages to book this extraordinary visit, I highly recommend not missing the opportunity. If you love art, you will not regret it, and you will end up recommending it to everyone you know—just as I am doing now.

Absolutely amazing experience with the entire place to our small 20pax tour group. We were able to take our time and explore leisurely; our tour guide Francesco was fantastic and informative. Being able to have the tour guide point out things in the Sistine Chapel for 30mins was a huge plus. The entire place was pure silence as we walked through the halls - invaluable experience! Just be sure to adamantly look for the tour coordinator at the meetup point (they didn’t stand out much or hold up the sign very high). The coordinator was tired and would’ve skipped 12pax if our tour guide didn’t notice some people to the side of the area.

Walks of Italy is by far the best tour company we’ve used in Italy. Our Vatican guide, Stefano, was fantastic, and we loved having an expert walk us through the Sistine Chapel before the crowds arrived. The storytelling, organization, and VIP experience were next-level!"

This was an excellent tour and our guide Claudia was superb. We'd booked because our trip to Rome was a last-minute one and the Vatican was otherwise sold out and so although we worried about how expensive it was, the money was absolutely worth it. Claudia proved her worth right from the outset by dealing with two issues firmly and efficiently and then proceeded to engage the whole group really effectively. Everybody on the tour was an adult aside from my 9-year old niece and so Claudia immediately made her feel special by inviting her to lead the group. This ensured that my niece was captivated for the entire duration and everything Claudia told us was interesting and engaging.

HIGHLY recommend the early access Vatican, Sistine Chapel tour. By 11 AM, the lines wrapped around the buildings, but we entered with no waiting. Our guide, Rosana, kept a great pace, and we were even able to access a private passageway from the Sistine Chapel!
