READ CAREFULLY: Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during your Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.
The Basilica is not included since it is not accessible from the museums due to the Jubilee

Our tour guide Francesco meet us promptly as arranged and gave us a wonderful tour , he spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. He answered all our questions and provided us with an informative tour. He was friendly and professional. . We booked and paid for a 3 hour tour but the tour ended after 21/2 hours.
I would definitely recommend a private tour when visiting the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.
