Great tour company - Very friendly and funny tour guide. It was nice to skip the long line on people waiting in the sun to enter. Evening tours are less crowded and cooler inside. I would recommend this tour.

Vatican but Cooler - My husband and I loved visiting the Vatican earlier in our trip and we decided to go again. But this time, we went in the evening as Italy's summer can be brutally hot. It was a great tour and experience to see in the nighttime! Less crowds and definitely cooler as the Vatican doesn't have AC. Overall would recommend visiting!

Best option - I had already had this experience when I came another year in the morning but repeating it and doing it this time in the afternoon was much better because it was much cooler, everything was much quieter and the atmosphere was more magical so I recommend it much more than going in the morning.

Vatican under the stars, what a unique experience - This is a highly recommended experience if you want to visit Vatican without crowd and the daytime rush! When we visited Sistine Chapel at that time, we've been totally struck by that immersive atmosphere

Great tour to enjoy the Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel - We loved this Vatican tour. The fact that it was at night and there were so many less people than during the day made it worth while! We were able to calmly enjoy the museum and marvel at the Sistine Chapel.

It’s all about the guide.... - It’s all about the guide. With a night showing you are limited to closing times. Our guide took over 30 min to describe Vatican City, the stair case, and what we would see in the chapel. Leaving minimal time to see the various rooms in the museum and 10 min in the chapel before we were made to leave due to closing time.

Disappointed - There was a lot of time just standing round while the tour. Guide provided a handheld book and talked. Wish we were able to look at grounds more and walked around more.
