Fantastic Tour

This was my first visit to Rome and chose the Vatican Tour with Skip the Line We booked the Tour for Sat 14th Oct and to be honest it was just crazy busy However our guide Alena was more than capable of guiding our entire group through the vast maze of the Vatican without losing a single member of our group herding Cats springs to mind Alena was very knowledgeable and her indepth explanation of events and recollection of dates was very impressive All in all the Vatican Tour was a fantastic experience however the density of the crowds was the only negative to be found Even in Alenas own experience she had never seen it so busy The Tour also lasted slightly longer than usual as the Vatican Security Guards were trying to divert groups through various rooms to reduce the pressure on the more popular congested areas ie Cistine Chapel The corridors were sometimes very warm too so I would recommend that you bring a bottle of water along with light clothing comfortable footwear I would highly recommend this tour especially with this Tour Guide

Vatican early access tour

A few difficulties booking the trip at first but these were immediately sorted by an online advisor Met at the arranged meeting place sorted into small groups Our guide was pleasant very knowledgeable Spoke to us using ear pieces Was definitely worth the early start we were able to skip the line into St Peters Basilica after the tour Would definitely recommend this early access tour
