Great Tour with Great Guide

My wife and I greatly I enjoyed the tour Our guide Adrian was very informative and friendly We met up at the stairs outside of Vatican City and our tour pretty much started there We had a small group of 8 total We booked for 1030 and it was busy as expected but to at all unbearable I would definitely book a morning slot to avoid the afternoon crowd The tour itself was just a bit fast paced but again thats expected with the amount of people going through the museum The good thing is that after the guided tour is over youre free to explore at your own pace With the guide we stopped at many important pieces of art and statues Very educational The museum itself is art The Chapel was the after the museum Very surreal Youre able to sit there as long as you like They do enforce the no picturesvideos rule so please be respectful They also dont like a lot of noise in there Beautiful experience that you have to see for yourself Theres a food court in the museum that we didnt go to but we did eat at the restaurant in the Pinecone Courtyard The food was good and the service was also good The cons if any are not related to the tour but more so the experience itself This museum is huge and theres a nice bit of walking With the amount of visitors you MAY not get all the good photos you want That said I was able to get plenty This tour uses an earpiece for the guide to speak to the group We didnt have many issues but the volume was low and it was a bit staticky at times But the guide fixed this issue To summarize great tour and I highly suggest it

The tour of the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel was brilliant

The tour of the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel was brilliant Oscar our guide was knowledgeable and adapted to our groups interests He added humour to the tour and pointed out all the highlights as well as some small things of interest that you dont always get to see due to number of people in the Vatican Going on the 830am tour was definitely worth it for these little extras and a bit more space to look around The guide also knew where to beat the crowds and gave a great overview of the Sistine chapel before we went in so we knew what to look for which added to the experience Before the tour I thought trying to look around the Vatican museum without a guide would be overwhelming and arduous Having been with a guide I know this would be the case
