Absolute Gem of a tour 1010

The tour can only be as good as the tour guide Thankfully Jeannette was an absolute GEM of a find Despite walking on crutches she made the tour immensily enjoyable and fun 1010 on her friendliness and 1010 on her knowledge about the subject matter that is the Vatican and all that is related to it which she did an incredible job explaining the things that needed explaination This August day was HOT 3839celc and the crowds endless Jeannette led us through the gates in 5 mins and into the museum in no time Worth the money just to avoid the endless waiting in these extrodinary long lines outdoors Tips The vatican cops will give you things to cover your shoulders when entering the chapel in case you are not covered Ladies Gents take hats off There is a water fountain up the escalator on the outside area fill up your bottles there you will need it during the HOT tour It is recommended to carry at least one bottle per person at least 12 litres of water There is a little bit of relief inside the museum some air conditioned area and some fans here and there however be prepared to sweat it out and you will
