Express Early Morning Sistine Chapel Private Tour Reviews

The way to go!

Early morning entry is the way to go for the Sistine Chapel! Though this was an “express” tour, we never felt rushed and we enjoyed a relaxed tour through the Vatican galleries and the Raphael rooms before being left to our leisure at the Sistine Chapel. (The “tour” of the Chapel itself starts at the line to the entrance, which is the perfect way to do it I thought!) We had a toddler in a carrier which was perfect. No stroller meant we had better mobility on stairs and navigating the galleries. Sarah was amazing, very engaging, and gave lots of tips on how to spend the rest of our time in the Vatican. Her former career as an archeologist gave her tour more depth than expected. Would do a longer tour next time when the toddler is older!

Good tour to do if on limited time

My wife and I had one day in Rome during our Mediterranean cruise. LivItaly's express tour of the Sistine Chapel was perfect for us. We met our guide Raf at the entrance to the museum and she expertly navigated our way to the Sistine Chapel, pointing out highlights along the way. She gave us a wonderful introduction to the Chapel and Michaelangelo so that we knew exactly what to look for once inside. We will definitely come back again and leave more time to see the entire museum and more of this fantastic city but this was a perfect "antipasto" just to whet our appetites!

Five-plus star rating

My parents and I will never forget how wonderful our early morning express Sistine Chapel tour was. This was truly a 5 star experience. We essentially had the place to ourself walking through the fast track to the Sistine chapel. Our guide Mara was incredibly knowledgeable and a lovely person. This company came highly recommended to us and we very happily pass that recommendation on!
