Go with a guided tour!
Don’t go to the Vatican without having a guide. Ours offered so much depth that we never could’ve figured out ourselves. We had gone to St. Peter’s Basilica on Sunday and we’re so glad we did the two things on two separate days. After walking all through the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel, we were happy we could head out and not wait in another huge security line. On Sunday, we walked right in, went to mass, saw the art and then saw the Pope. Perfecto.

Interesting experience
Very nice, the bathroom is something that absolutely needs to be redone. Plus we also saw dolphins, how lucky

Private Traditional Sailboat Tour of the Conero RivieraRebecca_S, Aug 2026
Gorgeous and relaxing Sailboat experience!
This was a wonderful experience! We sincerely want to thank Fabio for his generosity of showing us the coastline aboard his beautiful sailboat. We had the opportunity to swim, take in the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, learn about the area with his expertise and enjoy a locally prepared and delicious lunch. Thank you again, Fabio!!

On a boat on the Conero Riviera.
The operators were excellent. Beautiful boat trip. The aperitif could have been richer but for a boat perhaps it would not have been possible. Anyway top

An appreciative traveler
Our guide Barbie, was as knowledgeable and flowing as she was charming. I admit I fell for her! Seriously, her navigation of the logistics and the data and her dedication to the task were obvious. I feel like I was truly exposed to some of the concepts that formed the foundation of the Cupoloni, The Sistine chapel, etc.

Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica Tour
The Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica Tour was a great experience overall. However, the Vatican Museums themselves were extremely busy, which at times made it challenging to fully enjoy the tour. This is not a reflection on the tour guide, who was excellent throughout, but rather on the museum and the sheer number of visitors allowed in at any given time.Once through the Vatican Museums, the tour moves on to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. This is where the experience truly comes into its own. Both locations were exceptional and absolutely lived up to expectations. The beauty, history and atmosphere of these iconic sites made the tour memorable and worthwhile.Despite the crowds in the museum, I would still highly recommend this tour, particularly for the opportunity to visit the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica with the benefit of a knowledgeable guide.

Review from a traveler
Super recommended, we had the good fortune of having Mr. Marco as a guide and driver, we visited the entire Conero Riviera in the morning hours, we were the first to arrive at each point and there was space to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, he explained everything to us with patience, he even took photos of me, we finished the tour with a delicious appetizer, 10/10.

Excellent experience
Fabulous experience, very well organized, Filippo, the guide-skipper, deserves 11 out of 10, young, empathetic, knowledgeable, he took us to discover wonderful places, these are our young people who should be rewarded!
A thank you also to the whole staff, who preceded and welcomed us at the end of this very pleasant experience.
10+ to everyone

Boat trip
Thank you so much for the magnificent experience, the kindness of Cristina, and the professionalism and friendliness of Eros, who made it happen along with the nice and fun people who shared this short but intense trip along the Conero coast.
Thank you, thank you

Great tour but earpiece management needs to be better
The tour was very informative although very fast paced. It was nice to skip the line, but I would have liked more time in several of the side galleries. My only complaint was the earpieces, the sound was fine, but one was dropped on the ground before being put back in the collection and then handed out to someone. Also, all the earpieces were collected before entering the Sistine Chapel and then randomly handed out again afterwards, who knows what assortment of germs we were exposed to from this practice.
