Skip line tour of Vatican State Sistine Chapel Basilica

Our tour guide was wonderful it was a small group and she was very passionate about Vatican City and the information she was giving us She gave us time to soak in the beauty of the Sistine chapel gave us insights into Michelangelos life and work as well as other artists and always willing to answer any questions anyone had It was a wonderful tour with a wonderful guide

Smooth Vatican Visit with a Great Basilica Bonus

The Vatican can be an overwhelming and extremely crowded place to visit but our tour guide did an excellent job navigating us through efficiently and with care I especially appreciated the time she took before entering the museum to explain key elements of the Sistine Chapelthis context made the experience much more meaningful The tour began promptly and while it is advertised as a skiptheline experience be prepared for at least a 30minute wait for security which is unavoidable due to the volume of visitors Compared to other tours we took during our European trip this one felt a bit lighter on indepth commentary about the art itself though that may have been a result of the Vaticans packed and fastpaced environment She was belittling of the modern art in the Vatican and I would have preferred a tour guide that could have given us some information about it rather than telling us she found it ugly We found the optional Basilica entry ticket to be well worth it It allowed us to bypass the long public lines entirely and included access to the Catacombs of Saint Petera fascinating bonus Others in our group who opted for a different tour without the Basilica access were unfortunately unable to enter due to exceptionally long lines caused by the Jubilee crowds
