I checked today and the 60 day advance sale opens at exactly midnight CET. After 5 min, about half of the available slots were gone and after 10 min, only one slot at 14:00 was left. Now, at 00:15, everything is booked out The two aftenoon slots were the first to go, followed by the 9:30-11:30 ones. So calculate the date of the sale and set your alarm clock if you need to need to reserve...

Great video, very informative. I was just there in February. Yes it was a little cool in Rome (about 55/60), but the lack of crowds made it well worth it. I was able to walk right into all of the attractions, including the Sistine Chapel, without having to wait in any lines. I was part of a small tour group and the guide did a great job explaining everything ahead of time, especially the Chapel where you’re not supposed to talk while in there. Then my wife and I flew to London for a week and it was the same: no crowds. It was chilly at about 45/50, but not too bad. The only downside is that some attractions have limited hours or are getting repairs done during the down time off season.

[@kilroy1976]

I went in early December, and I think I got lucky too. The line seemed to be mostly just a few dozen clergy clocking in for work, and the videos I've seen of the lines since blew my mind. I was the only person in the gallery with Raphael's Transfiguration, and nobody was within a stone's throw of me at the Pieta. Heh, the cafeteria was a little unnerving; "why is it only me and two other little tables eating in this huge place? Is this where they make the Lutherans eat lunch?" ;)

[@gfbroussard]

Yep Im here in 2021🙌🏼

[@6861Charley]

For 10 days in mid July I spent vacation in Rome and the weather was too hot. Although it was my second trip, still I was so excited to see different places. In fact for 3 days i was able to jog at 4 AM at the Vatican area and felt safe due to the presence of many police officers around. Looking forward to my next visit.

Best thing I did was get a “skip the line tour” for the Vatican with a local company on Expedia. Even in November there was a 2 hour line. Best extra 30€ I spent on the trip. The guide even asked who wanted to leave the tour after we were in. Lol

[@TheTourGuyVids]

We suggest that next time you book direct with a local company

[@LIBREPUB]

@@TheTourGuyVids mine was with “Walks of Italy” which is local and they were wonderful. Gotta watch out for the people out front selling tickets. I heard a few people inside saying the bought fraudulent tickets from random sellers outside the gate. Agree with you on finding a local company to get legit tickets. Italy is so awesome if you plan correctly and I’m taking your suggestions of sites to see from your other videos when I’m there for two weeks in November. Love the videos ✌

[@taram2323]

Hello! I was looking at the offered tours and is it better to do the early tour with the Dome Climb or the early access to Sistine Chapel? A lot of reviews and tips mention how great the early access tour to the Chapel are great for seeing everything without crowds, but there isn't any of those tours with the dome climb, which is also described as a great experience. Advice??? I will be going in late February if that helps determine crowd conditions.

[@TheTourGuyVids]

Hi! It’s one of those double edge sword choices. If you do the dome climb first, you won’t have many crowds at the dome. We don’t wait in line to get inside the Vatican museums (where Sistine chapel is), but there will be more crowds than in the early entrance tours. If you do the Vatican first, you’ll wait in line and have crowds at the dome. A good option is to seperate the two but you’ll pay more. There is a st Pete’s dome tour on its own you can do then you can do a Vatican early morning tour the next day. We also have a new Vatican at night tour coming out which is mega exclusive with an amazing experience but at a higher price (150€). If interested, email [e-mail] and ask about the new Vatican closing tour.
